... I guess "flat" needs to be explored in more detail.

I propose to start my investigation in Kansas.

Isaiah 40:22 “[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:”

Psalm 104:2 “Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:”

Alan Heavens, a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Edinburgh, said that the strength of the result lies in that it requires few assumptions about the nature of the cosmos.

I guess he should know.

Still an article about a whole lot of nothing. The pick two different assumptions than others hold and get the same results. Still, garbage in, garbage out.

If dark matter really existed, we would have a prediction of its existence based on the laws of physics. Since there is no theory of dark matter, why pretend it exists?

If the universe is flat, does it sit on the back of a turtle?

the very fabric of space and time bends the light coming from it.

What type of fabric is space and time made of? Is it washable, or should it be dry cleaned?

“Dark Matter” is a mathematical construct...it doesn’t actually exist. All that DM “explains” is why the universe expands at a faster rate each year.

Of course, the reality is that DM isn’t why the universe is expanding faster at all. It can’t explain it. Dark Matter doesn’t exist.

It’s my understanding that the latest theory is that the universe is a bubble shaped like a mattress, and that it’s one of an infinite number of universes.

Moreover, the method - developed by revisiting a 30-year-old idea - confirms that "dark energy" makes up nearly three-quarters of the Universe.

So that's where my car keys went...
