I expect a Nobel Prize in Physics by next year at the latest.

Open Universe or Closed Universe - does the universe expand forever or eventually collapse due to gravity.
Expanding Universe or Static Universe and is there expanding space-time - Is the universe expanding or is it essentially fixed with unknown things that make it look like it is expanding. And is the fabric of space expanding.
Only God knows.
You are a fluke of the Universe
You have no right to be here
And whether you can hear it or not
The Universe is laughing behind your back
One of the craziest things over these last few crazy years has been watching physics at both ends (subatomic and cosmological) completely fall apart.
Wrong again? Maybe stop funding the pop interpreters of settled science...they are always saying things like “we know”, “ truly” and other assertions of certitude.. they need to say something like, “ as far as we THINK we know it might be that blah, blah, blah...but we could be incorrect...” Time to turn off the false narrative spigots..
The more we know, the more we realize the things we don't know. So I think you are right.
Yes we could be.
Don't pose that question to your ex-wife (for those who have them). I can tell you in advance what the answer will be.
Everything?!?

Yuppers
But We are getting Closer to the TRUTH.
That's where we went wrong. Gravity stretches and compresses space/time. What we're seeing isn't necessarily an expanding Universe driven by a Big Bang... It's a pulsing, moving, stretching, and even in extreme cases possibly even knotting itself Universe. Constantly being shredded by black holes and recycled via perturbation theories virtual particle pairs...
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
If a man is alone in the woods, and his wife isn’t around to hear him, is he still wrong?
If it's expanding, what is it expanding into?
If it's not expanding, what lies beyond the furthest edge? Is there just a big wall, and the universe is just contained in a big box?
I doubt we will ever know....
My EX is renting a room in a single wide trailer out in the desert.

I’m not bitter and I wish her well.
The attempted deliberate undermining of "science" -- often driven by political objectives -- continues to accelerate. Then again, these are two very different things: Science vs. Political Science, both of which have been around for a long time. The political goal is, as with so many other terms (e.g., "immigrant"/"illegal alien"; "gender"/"sex" to mention but two), to conflate the terms and sow confusion, confusion being a necessary element to achieve a much larger political objective: replace our Republic with a totalitarian government). It all fits if you think about it.
Yep, very confusing. Is the universe flat? Could we fall over the edge?
I am sure global warming is causing clumps hydrogen gas to undergo thermonuclear fusion in our galaxy and that we are harming other galaxies the same way, faster than the speed of light.
