How about “Our universe is just a bubble of some other universe”?

Try to grasp a finite universe and see if you have any better luck.

What’s on the other side?

Still need the nap. If the “edge” of the universe is expanding, what’s on the other side of the “edge” that’s being “expanded into”? This is just one of those things I probably will never understand.

Dark Energy doesn’t even make sense.

Expanding into what? “dimension” is not a place where you can go, it’s a standard of measurement. Keep trying.

We have known for the past 20 years that the universe is expanding at an ever accelerating rate.

For any system, the universe, to accelerate requires that energy be added to it but nobody can explain where this energy comes from so they create the concepts of dark energy and other dimensions. I think it more plausible that time itself is slowing down, giving the false appearance of acceleration.

I think that is the famous dark patch shot where there is nothing to be seen with most telescopes, covering about a square inch held at arm’s length of the night sky. AIR: that is over 300,000,000 galaxies shown in the image.

There is nothing beyond the edge of existence. When the Universe expands, it expands existence itself.

There was an expansion in the midst of the waters, seperating the waters above and below. The end. The sky is blue and full of water above our firmament. The globe model can not be scientifically or mathematically proven.

The term “universe” is used to designate all of reality. That would certainly include bubbles in other dimensions.
The idea of multi universes is meaningless since any other universe would necessarily be included in the one and only universe that includes all of everything and all of nothing. Multidimensionality is theoretical but not provable using 4 dimensional measurements - height, width, depth, and time.
Dark matter is merely a way to explain unexplained forces. It is a theoretical device. As, for that matter, is string theory.

I thought the speed of expansion was slowing down. How could it be increasing if entropy is in effect?

We’re actually an atom in the thumbnail of a giant.

I learned that from watching Animal House.

Would that be on the high end of electro-magnetism (cosmic rays, UV light) or the low end (infra-red, radio)? I knew a fellow who believed sound is on the EM spectrum. Do you agree with him?

I believe the universe is finite but unbounded. It’s like living on the surface of a balloon. The balloon’s surface area is finite, but you can travel around on that surface forever without finding an ‘end.’
