There are theories based on a model of an expanding universe that given an observer located anywhere within said universe they would observe the same expansion in all directions and thus postulate that they are located at the epicentre of that universe. If we were able to somehow communicate with someone placed near the "edge" of our observable universe, they would most definately tell us they are no where near the edge, but would probably tell us that we look like we're on the edge, so thinking that the universe is this nice uniform bubble that is expanding doesn't make sense.

My apologies for bringing up an old topic but it recently became one of interest for me as I was exploring it as a possible supplement I would try. I always find it amusing when armchair "scientists" declare with absolution that something is crap or bogus or can't be true, just because it appears to be outlandish on the surface. A true scientist or one with a scientific mind, without any agenda should allow for ANY possibility and seek to explore the validity of that possibility. It appears that a peer reviewed paper published in 1997 no less shows the dramatic improvement in the condition of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers through the administration of colloidal gold containing monovalent gold or gold salt: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13590849762411 Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. Seems there is something going on here. I suspect that the claims of gold being able to repair damaged DNA may not be so outlandish. Gold is a substance used to anchor DNA strands when being examined by electron tunneling microscopes so perhaps the monovalent gold bonds to the DNA strands or helps the DNA maintain its integrity. The theory has some validity. As for the Chrysiasis issue, that problem was more of an issue with the treatment of tuberculosis with much higher doses. And the discoloration appears around the injection site. Do you guys actually read the links you're citing?
