The unexplained cause of the slowed growth of the cosmic web that connects galaxies could hint at new physics.

          Your username is hilarious! Made me exhale a little faster than usual. :)

    At some point wouldn’t gravity override the expansion and cause a contraction again?

      Last I checked, the “Big Crunch” hypothesis got rejected by scientists.

      I am no expert, so can’t elaborate any further.

        That’s alright, I wasn’t an expert when I asked the question. I was just curious about it.

      No, the expansion is accelerating.

      Heres a great source

      It explains why the universe will have a cold death instead of a heat death.

      Right now the universe is expanding and its expanding faster today than yesterday. Things could change, but current math points to a cold death

        I always interpreted “heat death” as “the death of heat” instead of “a hot death”

          You are correct and I misremembered it. “The Big Freeze” and “Heat Death” are the same thing. Thats when everything expands until there is no more heat.

          If someone knows the correct terms for what I am talking about please let me know. Let me explain further.

          What I am talking about is the opposite of heat death, which is somehow in my mind at a hot death? Basically, where everything goes back to one singularity instead of expanding forever.

            Big crunch is what I’ve heard it called but I don’t know if that’s what you’re thinking of. Googling that might give you a start though.

      If it was gravity causing it, it wouldn’t be unusual.

        If the gravity is behaving as it is currently understood by the scientific community, it would indeed be unusual.

    Its getting older, out of shape. Can’t stretch like it used to. To many High Fructose Particles getting pinched in its gravity belt to move that fast.

      No, it’s definitely something different. “The beginning of time itself” can’t be seen in visible light due to the heat in the early universe - the CMBR is the only thing we see from that period.

          The numbness of atheists these days… back in my days atheists were jolly fellows who understood and appreciated a good joke.

            Being jolly and appreciative of good jokes is a two-way street. I wonder how many people of faith are so.

            I’m jolly and friendly. But I’m not going to laugh at a bad joke like, “Christianity” — okay actually that’s making me laugh.

                Maybe you don’t know many actual atheists.

                  Oh those outspoken atheists that I know I have known for a long time, from back in the old days.

                  But those don’t seem to be the types one comes across in the internet.
