A quick thought about Astronomy.

This is a serious post. If you don't know how to add to a discussion or say anything except for spam, please just ignore this post. We are on a [i]very[/i] small planet, which rotates about its axis, an axis which moves (look up:precession), while rotating about our star, while rotating about the middle of the Galaxy, in a galaxy which moves about other galaxies, galaxies which are gravitationally bound in a cluster, which moves about all the other clusters in the universe; all the while gravity bends light, light takes time to travel to us, and the expansion of space has been accelerating for the past 5 billion years. We have absolutely horrible vision of the universe. Countless calculations have to be made to correct for error when observing space. [b]What If we're missing something?[/b]

  • I believe our astronomers are pretty accurate on their conclusions the only problem is we can only see what's in the observable universe. (Lucky for us it's expanding) but unless we can travel freely throughout space we can only conduct so many experiments. Which in turn leaves a giant gap with our understanding.
