Scientists reveal 'death date' of the universe is sooner than previously believed

So they say we're halfway to when the universe stops expanding which would mean we're 33 billion years from retuning to the universe's state we're in right now and 49 billion years from returning to a singularity. Neat, but completely beyond the realm of human comprehension.

 

Thought provoking

 

Hmmmm, so we think something we can't measure is getting bigger.

 

Light has a known speed in a vacuum and we have many, many lighthouses called stars and galaxies that we can also measure how quickly they are moving towards or away from us due to the way that the wavelength changes. We can also measure exactly how far the furthest galaxies we can see are. And since light has a known speed, it can only travel a certain distance in the amount of time that the universe has existed. Therefore we just time the travel of the furthest known Stars.

 

If the universe is expanding, what is the universe expanding into?

 

Nothing. The universe is all that there is that we're aware of, but that doesn't mean that it can't expand it just means it's not displacing anything.

 

Write it down or we will forget.....

Oh sorry, you just did that....

 

Your explanation defies the laws of physics.

If the universe is expanding into nothing, then that necessarily means an ever expanding universe is creating more of itself from nothing in order to expand.

Can you give an example of where any physical object can expand itself without taking in or consuming more resources?
