Since the Big Bang, nothing has been added
to the universe that we inhabit.
The universe continues to expand.
Astronomers can’t comprehend the now;
they study only the far distant past.
–
Behind most distant galaxies we see,
the cosmos is invisible to us
by a factor of at least two hundred times.
This fact is difficult to comprehend….
We’ll never be able to see all light!
–
Cosmic rays that reach our planet arrive
from 13.8 billion years ago.
The cosmos is now expanding faster
than the speed of light. And what does that mean?
