Scientists have created the largest scale rendering of dark matter across the universe, revealing a picture of the invisible stuff thought to represent 98 percent of all matter in the universe. Dark matter has never been directly detected, but its presence is felt through its gravitational pull on normal matter. Scientists suspect dark matter is made of some exotic particle that doesn't interact with regular atoms.
Hubble demonstrated that all galaxies and distant astronomical objects were moving away from us, as predicted by a universal expansion.[18] Using the redshift of their electromagnetic spectra to determine the distance and speed of remote objects in space, he showed that all objects are moving away from us, and that their speed is proportional to their distance, a feature of metric expansion. Further studies have since shown the expansion to be extremely isotropic and homogeneous, that is, it does not seem to have a special point as a "center", but appears universal and independent of any fixed central point.

Yeah sure there was a big bang that made the milkyway.

they will never ever find evidence a big bang started the universe. Never. Such a discovery will never be possible.

Yeah albert was somewhat right. but 1 #ing bang.... do you think Albert anticipated Deep space? No he did not.

Hi Dowot,
This guy explains things pretty well using laymans terms
The Universe has to be flat to fit in with what they observe.
At the end of the day, no-one knows.
Thats why they call stuff "Dark energy" and "Dark Matter".
The speed of light is a constant in our Spacetime.
We are all moving at the speed of Light through Space and time.
Why does E=mc^2 ?
Our visible Universe is made of light, everything you see around you is moving at the speed of light.
But so are you, so you don't notice.
The ultra-rapid expansion of the universe created Spacetime.
Before Spacetime, there were no laws of physics to break.

No, the Milky Way Galaxy wasn't formed from any kind of bang.
New insight into Milky Way formation
It formed at about the same time as all the other galaxies approximately 13 billion years ago.

In actual fact there is lots of evidence, it's just that you distrust it.

You're right - there isn't one... Or it's everywhere - depending on your point of view...
Where is the centre of the universe?

Do you know what deep space is?
