"So although everything gets closer together and the densities get ever higher as you head further back in time, the overall size of the universe stays infinite; things get dense everywhere on an infinite spatial expanse."<br /><br />Which would mean that at the initial big bang milli^nth second, everything was mega-dense and mega-hot, on the whole infinite universal mat.<br /><br />So the distancing we see between our galaxy and others would not be due to the infinite space getting larger, but instead...well, they'd just be running away from each other. Period.<br /><br />(Well, I'm sure there's lots more hidden behind that period, but I'm not the scientist here, just a collector of facts).Alessa Ellefsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328692547865707296noreply@blogger.com
