Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the universe is expanding 5 percent to 9 percent faster than expected.

"This surprising finding may be an important clue to understanding those mysterious parts of the universe that make up 95 percent of everything and don't emit light, such as dark energy, dark matter, and dark radiation," said study leader and Nobel Laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and The Johns Hopkins University, both in Baltimore, Maryland.

It sure is a fascinating subject...mind boggling for a person like I. Without studies I cannot contribute solid ideas that could stood the test of time, and even less of space.
The one thing I can pursue is further readings...and expanded learning.

* Einstein's theory of gravity; how long till it gets obliterated? ...Into infinite orbit.
And, how big is the universe, how do they know where to start measuring and where to stop measuring, where are the borders, the walls where do they end?
And, what's on the other side...of those borders/walls? ...I've got a lot of reading to do...in my way of expanded thinking...

I knew there was a reason why I keep gaining weight. It's a cosmic conspiracy.

Don't sweat it Carl, but if you're over 300 pounds, and measure five feet two inches, then sweat it.
