    It’s an interesting thought, but it really depends on what you mean by space. When we’re talking about physics, space actually gets really specific and sticky.

    Ie what does it mean for the universe to constantly be expanding? Or contracting?

        Ah, you mean they compress matter and then free up the space that matter occupied. Now it makes sense.

        It’s really confusing when you talk about a cosmological topic but then use “space” in a non-cosmological sense.

          @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.

            But the radius of the universe is not staying the same, it’s expanding. And entropy isn’t constant, it’s increasing.

                The expansion of the universe has been confirmed over and over again since it was discovered in 1929, even won the 2011 noble price when they discovered the expansion is accelerating. It’s been basically confirmed over and over again for close to 100 years.

                I guess “What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinkng?” would have been a great showerthought. But you really should just leave at that.

                Once you’re trying to come up with explanations involving physics buzzwords it just sounds like pseudoscientific gibberish.

                  @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.
