Universal Misconception

If we accept our own definition of the Universe as the sum of all, we must abandon the supposition that it’s inflating like a giant ball. There is no doubt distant galaxies race away from each other increasingly, and, relative to each other in space, their pace accelerates unceasingly. In point of fact, at their farthest extreme, they don’t obey the speed limit of light, but this is only the way that things seem and what we observe is not always right. Though logical, it’s tough to understand: Something into nothing does not expand.
