Curious layman Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 'Less than a second after the Big Bang, the universe suddenly blew up from nothing to a hot, dense sea of neutrons and electrons stretching across billions of lightyears. And, 13.8 billion years later, the universe is still expanding, albeit at a much slower rate. The prevailing theory, known as the isotropy hypothesis, argues that the universe is not only expanding but doing so at the same rate in all directions. But a new study suggests that may not be the case after all.' https://www.inverse.com/science/universe-expanding-theory A map showing the rate of the expansion of the Universe in different directions across the sky.K.
