Because if it was more dense, we wouldn't be here to discuss why it isn't more dense

Yeah what the fuck universe, get your shit together, youre taking up to much space.

>>28856129
Ha, I fucking love this post.

This.

The universe is not big or small. It's simply x times larger than some physical dimension/traversible by light in time x. Stop projecting your subjective human scale onto it, OP.

>>28856102
The universe is a big strong reality that is healthy at any size, shitlord

There's so much to explore and so very little time. There could be isolated worlds wondering the same thing but we'll never know for sure. It makes me want to cry.
>>
The Universe has to keep expanding so we always have somewhere to go when we finally stop killing each other and get off this fucking rock.
>>
>>28856216
This makes exactly as much sense as saying that us always having someplace to go is the reason that roads are getting longer: none.

There is plenty of time assuming we don't nuclear holocaust ourselves

>>28856102
Dark energy is like feminism

>>28856232
Nigga, roads don't just get longer automatically though. Are you dense? Your analogy is trash.
>>
>>28856268
>make an analogy illustrating that someone's idea was trash
>a poster takes half of the analogy and attacks it saying that it was trash

Are you a galactic cluster flying through the universe perchance, >>28856268? Because the scale at which you missed the point is cosmic.

Okay I'm out, you're just fucking with me now.
>>
>>28856232
But that is why roads get longer.

If no one needs that road why would they build it
>>
>>28856316

The universe expanding doesn't give us any new places to go (roads' destinations); it just separates those places from each other. It doesn't make anything come together; it's the opposite.

>>28856345
It's not about establishing new destination points; it's about the fact that the very distances are getting longer, taking longer to travel.
>>
>>28856366
Another analogy: saying that is equivalent to saying that there would be more to explore on Earth if it just expanded like a ball, stretching at every empty swath of land.

Or perhaps we're just excessively small.
>>
>>28856203
There are two possibilities: either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.
>>
Ilke to believe we are actually bacteria living on larger organisms floating throughout a bigger reality. We can't see the large beings because we are so microscopically small.
