The fun starts when they find out the rate of expansion is increasing, bye bye big bang theory.

I was thinking it could possibly be a local effect.

I misread that as "cosmetologists" and though I had really misunderstood that profession

What? They do hair and makeup for the stars, right? 🙂

The universal expansion theory is valid to a point, however if it is expanding exponentially then at some point it's going to implode again. I'd think this can only have a few possible affects either another big bang and the universe restarting or only slightly less likely it'll all disappear into nothing. Either way we'll all be cosmic dust by then.

The infinte variety of the cosmos is just astounding. I never grow tired of the beauty of the universe.
