@tobogganablaze My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed? I just found about [1] from 2013.
It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

That’s how blocking path dependencies in science can be so strong.

“What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinking” is not what I posted because my brain didn’t come up with it. If you want things simple and in your words, I suggest a solitary life.

Finally, you don’t know my age or experience. Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

@tobogganablaze
Well you can’t win a nobel prize while ignoring the standard model, can you? We sit on giant’s shoulders.

Once a constant speed of light has been assumed, we were able to confirm a lot of things. But we still can’t explain everything, can we?

We don’t know what it’s like in a black hole, do we? Except we would be sucked in by one right now. Which would explain why everything else is expanding exponentially.

This gibberish is what this forum is for.

@tobogganablaze How can you tell? Maybe we’re shrinking? Maybe entropy isn’t increasing everywhere?

But okay. Somehow everyone settled with constant speed of light so everything must be expanding inevitably.

@tobogganablaze Originally I had this idea: If the universe decreases in density since big bang but its radius is still the same, then a lot of space must be sucked inside space-bending structures like black holes. Also, may be matter has big bang density inside of black holes.

So, black holes are maintainers of constant entropy in a constant radius universe. Thus they must be space generators.

@tobogganablaze True, they compress space and leave the rest.

@Cornpop Hey, vacuum cleaners make space the same way.

@Lazylazycat @Silentiea Same. You don’t follow boomers, too, do you?
