If I am thinking what you are thinking, open.

Hey, some people say I'm closed minded, but I like to consider myself open to new ideas, new forms of life, that sorta thing.
Please, about me getting bigger, my weight is a serious subject...

You are expanding yet you gain no mass.

well...isn't this interesting.
looks like we got ourselves a little pet parade going on here.
ok, i'll play alone...er, i mean, along.

the original intent of this thread was to understand what one believes about the current state of the universe in regards to the controversy: open or closed.

open means that the universe is expanding infinitely, and therefore, capable of having 'x' mass.

closed means that the universe has periods of expanding and contracting movements. (thank you, mr. hawking)

the current trend is for an open universe.
i am more for the latter.
naturally, this controversy alternates depending upon newly discovered areas of evidence...this has yet to be brought up. maybe later.

so, i ask again, what do you think?

I think the universe is like my anus, only giant sized. Sometimes it contracts, but that's only to cut off the shit that's overflowing

Alex, I'm good like that. You wish you were this smooth. I'm every womans dream man, cuz I've got lots of muscle mass, and I'm every womans dream cuz I gain mass but weigh nothing

[Dragondream]

I think the universe is open, always expanding. I've never personally read anything by Steven Hawkings so I really don't know what he has to say about the universe contracting, however, I would be interested in finding out about it.
If anyone could briefly *note use of Briefly* enlighten me to as the main jist of it.
