Not that the Universe has to conform to any desires or pre-conceptions that I may have.
Just my opinion.

Hi All,
Has anyone contemplated that as the expansion of the universe is increasing, what happens when the expansion speed equals that of the speed of light??

I mean if all those universes collide at one time and create a huge bang, wouldn't that some how lead to something I guess?
