Yes and if that speculation is true we will never know. The rate of expansion theoretically could surpass the speed of light since the claim is that it is the empty space that is expanding not the actual speed of the stars. Which makes no sense to me.
….and you refuse to learn the answer.. w h y is that ?
Haha I love this thread. We don't know do we, but I hope we (as a species) can continue striving to find out. It seems like the universe is expanding, which implies it started smaller than it is... And the theory goes that it was in fact much much smaller.... But I do think our monkey brains have big trouble with that idea, like we want to insist that if there was a start there must have been a start within *something* or caused by something. And I just don't know if we have that written down anywhere as a guarantee
