Of course it’s expanding...it’s trying to get away from Chuck Norris !!!

Anyway the center of the universe is right between my eyes...your mileage may vary.

I’ve never liked the ‘big bang theory’ I just can’t wrap my untrained mind around that. It just doesn’t make sense to me in many ways.

According to Hindus, the universe is in Vishnu’s dream............

Exactly..................

I am the Void, not the empty void of nothingness but the intellect, blissful and shining...

Perhaps Ptolemy was right- perhaps we are at the Center of the Universe if it’s moving away from us in all directions.

The black hole at the center of our galaxy is located thru Sagittarius.

I call it the ‘Light Box’. Light only can operate in three dimensions. We exist within the boundaries of this limitation. Gravity operates beyond that which is why its force is so weak. To find the center you’d need some way to travel into a fourth dimension and we can’t. You could have entire three dimensional universes stacked up on each other like the pages of a 4th dimensional . book . This is why we can’t find any trace of dark matter, it is because gravity from another page is effecting our page.

...The stars are so far apart from each other (in factors of light years), that the odds of collision are literally and figuratively astronomical.

Vera Rubin is the lady who discovered Dark Matter. In her autobiography she mentioned finding something really amazing. A galaxy in the Virgo cluster that had half the stars rotating clockwise around their galaxy and the other half rotating counter clockwise.

She contacted the Astronomer who published a paper about how you could tell this has happened in a galaxy. He apologized for his silly paper only to have Vera confirm she had found a galaxy just as he had predicted!

...I believe the standard, if uncomprehending, answer is "dark energy"...

There was a time when scientists believed there was a substance called the 'Aether' which was the stuff light waves rippled in. That hypothesis has long since been tossed aside, like the Philosopher's Stone theory has. I think Dark energy is the latest fallacy awaiting disapproval.

Recent studies using Supernovas as a light source of known brightness seems to suggest the Universe expansion is accelerating . I have alternate explanation. When we observe far away objects in the Universe we are also looking back in time.
When we look at an object 12 billion light years away we see it as part of a sphere 12 billion light years in radius. The problem is Universe was smaller than that at the time. What we see is therefore magnified. It also appears dimmer . To an observer it would be look bigger than expected and further away . Hince an illusion of a faster expanding Universe with objects larger than expected.
