My cat, Mr. Whiskers, claims to have found the solution to that problem. But since he doesn’t have a PhD from some fancy university, no one will listen.

Observations suggest that galaxies are moving apart at a higher rate than scientists have long expected. Many now wonder if the standard model of cosmology can fully explain what’s going on.
Dan Scolnic is an associate professor of physics at Duke University. He and his team led a new study, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, that strengthens the case for a mismatch between data and predictions.

What can’t climate change do?
Math equations are just models of reality.
At the end of the day the universe can break all the laws it wants to...
What are scientists going to do—give the universe a speeding ticket?
Lol.
That’s one conjecture, and many will argue cannot be true, also whether all our observations are actually skewed as referenced from being within a void of space time.
Yes. The Earth has been through so many cataclysms in its history and these are only the ones that we know about, why would the universe be any different? I always thought it was silly to take the universe as it is today and then wind it backwards to the beginning and hope that everything just kind of works out. We have no idea what happened since the formation till now. The scientific method is built upon observation and otherwise it’s just all guess work like you say.
So-called ‘smart’ people can be so stupid...
I hate modern popular writing it’s all hyperbole all the time. It doesn’t matter if its reporting on science, politics, or local news & weather. It’s difficult to get to the meat of the “story”. I know the goal is to get noticed and thus get read but the “we’re all gonna die” style is tiresome.
One would think these “smart people” would add that they are justing studying the subject, they really have no idea what is going on.
So there isn't going to be a Big Crunch?
At the end of the day, many scientists are grappling with how to explain the origin of the universe in such a way that it did not have a single beginning.
My cat, Mr. Whiskers, claims to have found the solution to that problem. But since he doesn’t have a PhD from some fancy university, no one will listen.
Ignore the speculative physics. How can the universe have any boundary at all, let alone an expanding one?
I’m always curious about what’s on the other side of the wall at the end. 🤔😂👍
No, a light year is not a measure of time, but of distance.
It's the distance light travels in one year at 186,000 miles per second.
How many seconds are in a year?
Do that calculation, then multiply the result by 186,000.
The result is the distance light travels in one year.
Then figure what the distance would be for 320 million of them.
There are some things we are just not designed to truly comprehend.
You people aren't taking this serious enough. I'm hyperventilating as I read this.
Quantum Mechanics theorists say mathematically, there is no such thing as time. Time does not exist. There is space time but not time by itself.
It’s about time
It’s about space
It’s about time
I slap your face

Scientists are always so sure about everything right up until they discover they are wrong.
We have no idea what happened since the formation till now
