These diagrams of what the Universe looks like always makes me laugh. In this case what is on the other side of the box?

The singularity was something that occupied no space, could not tell time, was full of energy before energy and quanta existed and had no proximate or approximate cause. Only thing I know of with these unique characteristics is grapefruit. :>}

There has to be some spin in there that causes all my Nascar drivers to wreck. All from 11 billion years ago. Even tubebender (who torments me) is not that old, I think.

Do you think just maybe that 3d map looks like an ant farm. I had a clear perspex one as a kid. Now those ants went about their little lives totally oblivious that there was intelligence outside their little box. Intelligence as far removed from us, as we are from ants. Ants probably think ‘ants rule!!’ .

Yeah, it expands every time they have to account for more billions for their “anything but God” religion to work.

That’s why the edges have yellowed so much.
