The Universe Is Just a Big Bubble


I am still angry that I received a “C-" in Astrophysics 300. But, I got an “A” on my oral presentation: “Fast Velocity Clouds and the Magellanic Stream.” After 20 years, I still think that was an unfair grade … oh well.

However, as my friend, who is now an Assistant Attorney General of Maine, says: “Grades don’t matter. It matters what you learn.”

So, therefore:

The universe is just a big bubble with galaxy clusters moving in concert with the force of gravity keeping clusters in place with one another (in tandem with the grand breadth of space between each cluster like Christmas ornaments on a tree – hanging).

If one had the ability to travel from one spot in the universe and move in one direction perpetually, then this individual would end up in the same spot eventually. This means that space is really curved. But, that’s obvious, right?
