It is still growing of course. Everyone knows this.
That's funny. I was actually asking jewels about his remarks. But this is better. Ty
Well, as far as we can tell, the expansion is accelerating, so yeah, I guess that energy is still working? But they say that it's dark energy, causing the expansion, I think, not sure what that means exactly. There's also the cosmic microwave background, which is leftover EM radiation from the Big Bang.
Scientist don't know any such thing, but they will go to their graves without changing their theories. You think otherwise? Here is a forum provided for people to discuss astronomy pictures published by NASA. Notice rule 15: discussion of alternative theories, the definition of science, is specifically forbidden.

Let's think this thing through:
Big bang is implied by
Receding galaxies, which are implied by
Doppler shift, which is caused by
Motion away from us, which is assumed from
Red shifted light
So we have this remarkable train of logic all based on a single phenomenon and an assumption. If that assumption is wrong then most of what we think we know about the universe ain't so. Well, Doppler effect is not the only cause of red shift. But scientists would rather be wrong than uncertain, so the old theories drag on. We don't believe in the germ theory of disease because doctors thought it was a good idea, we believe because all the doctors who believed the humour theory died and were replaced by younger doctors.
That's the big question, Kittie, precisely.
What else would you say causes the red shift? Just curious.
