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

[Thurifer the Censer]

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..

[beethovenfan]

Yes we could be.

[RoosterRedux]

Could we be wrong about everything?

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.

I am now faking data to show that the Universe is being slowed by Climate Change. See the graph below.
I expect a Nobel Prize in Physics by next year at the latest.

Everything?!?

But We are getting Closer to the TRUTH.

Fr. George Lemaître independently in 1927 had used Einstein’s field equation to predict that the universe should be expanding (or shrinking).

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.

[Hot Tabasco]

I tend to view space/universe, as nothingness with galaxies floating around in it.

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....

[pfflier]

Oh my gosh, the settled science isn’t settled? Who would have guessed a theory might just be a...well, theory.

[BenLurkin]

“We” who?

[butlerweave]

We only Guess or make things up

Any group that relies on “matter” that cannot be detected except by it’s gravitational effect to make it’s theories work is not a group that can be taken seriously. Especially a group that celebrates the opening of its biggest project with some strange Hindu ceremony.

And there is an astonishing amount we do not know about Hubble’s work. After he died, his wife went through his massive notes and writings, and burned the ones she thought were not appropriate or might embarrass him. God only knows what work she destroyed.

[Be Free]

If the universe is everything (every single thing), then what is it expanding into? Maybe it is just one, giant Möbius loop? No beginning, no end, no boundaries.

It's not so much what you don't know that will get you in trouble. It's what you know that ain't so.

I knew it!
