      There’s also no reason to believe that expansion isn’t happening in a spheroid pattern. The big bang wouldn’t have been like a blunderbuss, more like a naval mine suspended in the abyss, exploding in all directions.

      For that matter, did the big bang ever cease, or has it continued to spew out new energy, and we’re just so inconceivably far out that our entire observable universe is just one small section of a relatively narrow range of distance from the center?

      Lastly, if the big bang is like a faucet, what if black holes are like drains in a tub, or in other words wormholes leading back to whatever realm everything came from before being spewed out by the big bang?

      Everything in the universe is cyclical; there’s no way something doesn’t complete the circuit, even if it’s just a big crunch.

        This model does assume the big bang happened in a spheroid pattern. It’s just flattened to add time as an axis from left to right cause you couldn’t represent time otherwise.

          You could represent time as the distance from center to circumference, although that wouldn’t be as readily comprehensible at a glance. It’s more like the image just shows a chunk out of that sphere

      I’ma have to come back to that. Aware of the concept, but not have much driven to the core concept. Little too tired to read, but thanks friend
