The Universe is expanding faster that they thought.

But what is it expanding into?..................

[Larry Lucido]

The universe is too big. We’re going to run out of space!

[woweeitsme]

Only God Almighty knows...

[Bob434]

hubble hubble toil and trouble

[Buttons12]

If it can expand it must be finite. If it’s finite what’s around it making it finite? Nothingness? How can nothingness contain (surround) somethingness?
Is a puzzlement.

[redangus]

My question exactly. If I could fly fast enough to get to the edge of the universe, where would I be?

Stacy abrams?

When they did their calculations, they forgot to carry the two.

Job 38: 1-7
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

2 “Who is this that obscures my plans
with words without knowledge?
3 Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

[Jonty30]

Undefined, because space can only defined where there is matter.

How would you know when you got there?...............

There is an old adage about a campfire.

The bigger the fire the further you can see into the darkness.

That is where we are right now—learning enough to realize we really have no clue what is going on...

THOUSANDS of years, not billions and billions and billions.

Dark Matter.........................

[Eli Kopter]

until it stops and starts contracting (meaning more creation matter=energy). The Cabalists called it tzimtzum.

[bert]

Given the extent of galaxies and other structures plainly visible in the universe with the Web telescope, the issue of expansion is not really relevant any more.

The concept of the red shift becomes meaninglessly irrelevant given the now visible an infinite number of galaxies containing infinity to the infinity power of stars.

[cockroach_magoo]

Is it okay to question the science now?

I must have missed the memo.

[Red Badger]

Some theorize the Universe is like a yo-yo on a rubber band...............
