    If you could also answer the following question that would be handy as well -

    The universe is infinite, we are told, and is still expanding so what is the universe expanding into, as its infinite ?
    Now if the universe is finite what's on the outside of it ? :43: :86:

    You have 2 paragraphs, so be concise please. :83:

    When astronomers say the universe is expanding, what they really mean is the observable universe, i.e. stars, galaxies, etc. This has been well measured going back to Edwin Hubble, and some astronomers won the Nobel Prize in 2011 for actually proving that this expansion is accelerating using type-Ia supernovae - the objects I study!

    I can't speak much as to whether the universe is infinite or what constitutes the space that the observable universe is expanding into - that's a topic for the crazy theorists. Check out holography and how Leonard Susskind beat Stephen Hawking in a debate over what happens to things that fall into black holes. Insane stuff. :50:

    This round is giving those hidden gems a chance to shine. So, in a way I suppose its those that know their artists back cataalogue and not just the well known stuff, :58:

    Nothing like that. Just explaining the thinking behind setting the theme for the round. What people then choose from that point is still entirely up to them.
