What will happen to the universe?

Or put another way 'one core is as good as another'.

I prefer to view myself as the exact core of the universe....and Hubble confirms it!!

Seeker, what about that big clump in the middle? Isn't that considered the core?

Anyone: What about those Globular clusters? What do scientist say is the reason they are out there?

What "middle"?

Universe:


-----O-----

The ^ middle

what is the nature of the relationship between the current ongoing expansion and the expansion during the inflationary "epoch"?

What is that supposed to mean?

During the inflationary epoch the expansion was driven exponentially by a postulated inflatonic scalar (?) field. At a certain point this interaction froze out (due, I suppose, to the drop in density caused by the expansion), and the expansion was dominated by the standard terms we know today (cold matter, radiation and dark energy)

Too bad that's not what the Universe looks like.

What does that look like?

Galaxy?

You guys are weird.

KH: was there time before the expansion epoch? how much time was there?

Yes, that's what galaxies look like

If you'd bothered to read my posts you would have seen that I've already answered this question.

Did Lancer just mix up galaxy with universe?

[Ecthy]

Your answers were a bit confused. Don't drink and post!

Certainly it's possible that there existed a singularity at some point prior to the start of the inflationary epoch, but there is no need for one, and its location in time can certainly not be located by any means available today.

My answer wasn't confused; you're apparently just not bright enough to grasp it.

Do any of you guys know how the globular clusters got out of the plane of the galaxy?
