It's a simple question Norm.
Will the universe expand forever or will
it eventually collapse back on itself?
Now don't go jerking me around,
I can take it. It's a simple question.

The answer is: It will expand forever (I will vote that now).
I know that, because:

Now, we know the moon isn't made of cheese, but what if it was made of spare ribs. Would you eat it then? I know I would. Heck, I'd have seconds.

Is, too!
Oh, and the universe will expand forever, at least from our perspective. Which is all that actually counts.

I always thought that gravity reigned supreme in the universe, but that was before I set up my own deep space radio telescope (Casio model DSRT-1000) in my back yard. After collecting data for years I finally got around to analyzing all that information (I spent a lot of time burning ants with the telescope) and it turns out that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. So it looks like gravity ain't all that and a bag of chips.
So I voted Expand forever.
Next I plan on looking for all that missing matter in the universe, but I may need to upgrade to the Casio DSRT-1500.

This question is like, "Yes or No, have you stopped beating your wife?"
Everybody knows that the universe expands and collapses on the Truth Frequency. All other vibrations are a harmonic. Now, it just so happens the vibration will go on into Infinity.

#4 - Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:24 PM ESTWhat I know about physics can be summed up in the following way: nothing.
However, I still have an opinion, and I vote.
I voted for "collapse" because if Rock beats Scissors, and Scissors beats Paper, then it follows that Rock should beat Paper, but it doesn't, so the universe is collapsing.
Duh.
