dont let leorocky get you down.
if the universe keeps expanding, eventually it will expand at the speed of light and everything that is not gravitationally locked with us (wich only includes the milky way and about 5 or so other galaixies) will be moving faster than the speed of light and will be impossible to observe in any way.
in a sense, it means leo is actually wrong. if an intelligent race comes into being after said event, it could be true that no amount of science will ever be able to show that the rest of the universe existed. that also means some other phenomenon may have occurred that will make us as just as useless at understanding what happened as ants are at knowing/exploring the stars.
that is, if certain theories about the expansion of the galaxy is true.
- hyperliner 12y agothank you autokad.
- leorocky 12y agoThis doesn't make me wrong about science, it's just that by then it will be will not have the data to figure out what happened. You can't see the other galaxies anymore. That's not a problem with science, that's a problem of insufficient data. It may be the case an intelligent could figure things out by looking at the evidence available to them within their finite, expanded universe. Space will still be expanding, there will still be red shift, there will still be gravity. And science will be the tool to use to figure this stuff out.
