Universe expanding faster than physics can explain — New evidence deepens cosmic ‘crisis’

Faster than a speeding bullet Ping!...............

Trump’s fault...

[Larry Lucido]

Geez. First Pangea, and now this.

[FreedomPoster]

My fault. I fueled it all up with Premium, it’s moving faster.

Thanks Red Badger. The crisis isn't actually in the universe, it's the physics version of the bonfire of the vanities.

Scientists still trying to figure out how God does it.

I always think of the satellites....God created the the sun, the moon and the stars...all living.

Man also created satellites...made of nuts and bolts.

> the universe is expanding about 9% faster than predicted <

Obviously another tragic effect of Climate Change. We must act fast here. Ban all gasoline cars before the universe slips away entirely.

A galactic "crisis".....

The upside is that they have to be running low on crisis subjects now.

Stop Man-Made Universe Expansion!

Has anyone contacted Greta yet?

In all seriousness, I've thought of the acceleration of the universe's expansion as a direct hit to the old theory of the oscillating universe.

The Christians say that there is so much fine tuning to make things just right for our universe to work, there must be a designer. For decades the atheists countered that with a belief that there are an infinite number of big bangs, with each big bang resetting physics and such, so that random chance could create the seemingly fine tuned universe we live in.

But now we know the universe's expansion is accelerating, not decelerating. In other words, it doesn't look like the universe expands for a while, then starts contracting, eventually becomes another point singularity, then another big bang to repeat the process over and over. It's looking like the big bang was a one-time event .... and it happened to spew everything out just right.

I have that album.

I have that album.

One of my favorites, but all of his are good.

He was also great with Zappa.

Imagine having two reliable methods for measuring the same thing, like a bathroom scale and a doctor’s scale, but getting consistently different results from each.

I DO have this exact problem. My doctor’s scales consistently adds 6-8 lbs and I know my clothes don’t weigh that much. It causes tension here too!
