TELLVS STABIL - The Earth Firmly Established

Just saw this thread now. For what it's worth, that isn't a common belief about the universe. It would require a "closed" spacetime, due to hyperbolic curvature. If it were the case, we would see duplicate parts of the universe all over the place as light would have traveled from one point across it to another.

Instead, the observable cosmic horizon is actually continually shrinking while the universe around it continues to expand as the most distant galaxies are moving away from us at an increasing rate, with the most distant exceeding observable rates and essentially "outrunning" the light they emanate.

So, no, it isn't curving back on itself (I believe the likelihood of this has been derived to 1 in one billion now due to broad scale measurements from the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation).

speaking of space => today is the 50th Year anniversary!!

 

I am watching the movies now as well as the Carolina/Denver rematch!

 

Nice ... I watched the first half of the game, but then started watching something else with the wife (when I turned it the score was 17-7 for Carolina ... I was surprised when I saw that Denver and their rookie quarterback came back and won!!)

 

Not even a 'spoiler alert' ?? I recorded that game!!

Just kidding Steve

Let the games begin!!
