OK, so for awhile now I've been trying to reconcile the Big Bang, and the universe only being 13.8 billion years old, with things like us being able to see 46.5 billion light years away and the like, etc, and with the help of this article (below) I am trying to accept it, etc, and, as I understand it, the universe is 13.8 billion years old no matter where you are at in it, etc, (another thing I was trying to reconcile, etc, but think I might have maybe now, etc), anyway, as I understand it, the universe started as a single point, that flung everything out very, very quickly, and very, very, very fast, etc, until it just about as quickly, slowed down a lot very, very greatly in a also very very short amount of time also into what we see and observe now, etc, which is almost a stop or standstill now, etc, except for the forces of gravity trying to pull everything in, and forces inside quote/uquote "pockets" or "cells" trying to push everything out, etc, and I'll get into a little more detail about that in a minute, etc...
The article I was looking at is here: What Is It Like As You Approach The Edge Of The Universe?
But, what we see and observe now is what I want to focus on, etc, and there are many theories on how the universe might go from now, and/or end, and/or begin all over again, etc...
Link here: Ultimate fate of the universe - Wikipedia
But, I have wondered about it being in "perfect balance" and an "infinite dance", etc, with what is pushing out on and/or making it expand, being almost just exactly equal to gravity or what is trying to pull it all back in, etc, hence the "dance" that I am talking about, etc...
This would of course almost force us to question it's original origins and/or true beginnings as well "maybe", etc, or then again "maybe not" also, since it could have had a beginning, but maybe no determinable or indeterminate end also, etc...
This may seem a very child like explanation, or maybe way, way to simple of a picture and/or explanation, etc, but taking the whole universe as very large whole, etc, I've often thought about it as a "honeycomb" but in three dimensions, where there is just as much force pushing out on each cell equally (equal amount of growth inside each cell equally, etc), as there is force on the quote/unquote "walls" or surrounding material going around it (going around those cells, etc) being pulled back in on it, etc, (or pulling in on the whole universe, etc) (or at least the attraction of all the normal matter and/or material making up the quote/unquote cell "walls" being attracted to each other, etc) (but traveling around those cells, etc)...
And at any kind of theoretical "edge" or end, etc, the material making up the quote/unquote "walls", etc, just falling around those cells and/or coming back in, etc, while the cell just goes out into the distance or nothingness at that point or quote/unquote "edge" at that point, etc...
Another thing I find strange, is no point is the center point of the growth and/or expansion, etc, and like I already said, the best and most simplest way I can picture it, and from pictures of the observable universe, etc, is to simplify it into a "honeycomb" like structure, etc, and then adding and equal amount of growth in each cell, etc, but then also the material making up the cell "walls", etc, also pulling back in, etc, and that maybe in a kind of perfect balance or dance maybe, etc...
So, what is the point of all of this, or what am I specifically asking...? Well, I really don't know really I guess really, etc... But maybe only to discuss these things or your takes on the theoretical beginnings and/or endings, and/or re-beginnings after endings maybe, etc, of the universe maybe, etc, according to the way it all seems to to be behaving right now maybe, etc...?
Anyway...?
Discuss...?
God Bless!
