I just wish they would make IDs a sitewide thing so we could just filter the screeching retards and be done with it.

I'm hardly DeGrasse, but the amount of gravitational distortion needing to be accounted for must have a cause. It was quite large iirc. Now as to whether the mathematical theories relate to a physical reality...that is far above my pay grade. I'm not a fan of M-Theory, so we have that in common. Then again, they could be correct, and I could be the mad one.

Flat is a reference to the Universe in reference to the Big Bang. To put it simplistically, my nigga:

The force of expansion is either:
a) Open: greater than the gravitational pull of the expanding matter
b) Flat: equal to the gravitational pull of the expanding matter
c) Closed: smaller than the gravitational pull of the expanding matter

Only one of these can naturally revert to another Big Bang, C, the Closed Universe. This type will collapse on itself, eventually, and produce another Big Bang.

The other two scatter and will not restart themselves via matter compression from the gravitational force of matter.

Technically a series of smaller and smaller Big Bangs could be done in a Flat Universe, but you would have to manually compress all of the matter in reach.

In a Open Universe the matter will always be beyond reach, and no re-ignition of the Big Bang via matter compression is possible.

More or less this. But without so much tongue in cheek. It's an iterative process, y'know.
