A quick thought about Astronomy.
This is a serious post. If you don't know how to add to a discussion or say anything except for spam, please just ignore this post.
We are on a [i]very[/i] small planet, which rotates about its axis, an axis which moves (look up:precession), while rotating about our star, while rotating about the middle of the Galaxy, in a galaxy which moves about other galaxies, galaxies which are gravitationally bound in a cluster, which moves about all the other clusters in the universe; all the while gravity bends light, light takes time to travel to us, and the expansion of space has been accelerating for the past 5 billion years.
We have absolutely horrible vision of the universe. Countless calculations have to be made to correct for error when observing space. [b]What If we're missing something?[/b]

1 ReplyTrue, the light that reaches us outside of our own galaxy and even more so outside of our local supercluster is incredibly lensed. Add the dark energy accelerating our Universe at unfathomable speeds and I honestly have no clue what to tell you. I think the most important step that will take us down the rabbit hole even farther is quantum physics and dark matter. Figuring out what dark matter is and how dark matter interacts with our current visible universe will certainly lead us to new theories even more far flung than the current ones being proposed now.
