Is the universe at least 136 billion years old, is the universe not expanding at all, did the universe begin its expansion when Hubble measured its redshift for the first time or was light twice as fast 13.5 billion years ago than it is today?
The numbers and the facts are the persuasive part.

How ironic lol

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
I thought this was about free will as opposed to a deterministic future. I see I am wrong and this is a discussion that is going down several philosophical rabbit holes.

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
That is a weird thing to say unless you define free will differently than me. How do you define free will.

We have. That is not a 'special rule' that is part of the theory.

Some made up random answer.

No, the sentence was about sideways motion of Andromeda relative to the milky way. OK. Not as much as you might think. The outer edges of galaxies rotate almost as fast as the center. OK. I didn't say there wasn't a detectable blue/red shift that I recall.

Yes. From Wiki about Andromeda–Milky Way collision: Taking also into account the Sun's motion, Andromeda's tangential or sideways velocity with respect to the Milky Way was found to be much smaller than the speed of approach (consistent with zero given the uncertainty) and therefore it will eventually merge with the Milky Way in around 5 billion years.

Great joke. While that is true it has no relevance to much of anything except that the speeds are different.

You can ignore it when you are trying determine the red shift of very distant galaxies. The Andromeda galaxy is going to hit milky way, it isn't fake. This stuff really seems to be confusing you, have you tried googling the topic to gain some more understanding?

Theory of complexity
Your thoughts were not a theory 6 years ago and are still not a theory today. Yelling does not make an idea a theory either.

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
I more or less agree with that. I find philosophical discussions tedious and boring. I think I have reached my limit on this particular thread.

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
That has nothing to do with free will vs a predetermined future.

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
I would say, "of course". I can't imagine why he wouldn't eat the fawn and it would be pretty stupid not to eat the fawn but of course he has the choice.

What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
Sure. Maybe Yahweh just started the universe last Wednesday programed all our past memories and the future is all set in stone. I guess without evidence you can make any claim you want. However, I feel 100% that I am making freewill decisions and that's more than enough for me. IOW with the absence of evidence I gotta go with my gut.
-
What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
What are you talking about? Why in the world would prisons become obsolete? I (like every other sane person) feel 100% that I make my own decisions for one.
-
What are the benefits of understanding our free will?
I put our free will at 100%. By that I mean the future is not predetermined. I can choose to do anything that is physically possible, the result of my choice may have dire consequences, but I am certainly free to make that choice.

The Beginning of the Universe
That is a pop-sci article explanation. In pop-sci articles the authors typically are trying to give the nonscience reader and idea of the overall concept in a very brief article which is usually at the expense of accuracy. Authors of these articles usually use analogies (like the big bang was an explosion) that can be misleading.

Do you have a source for that? I am not sure what you mean by beyond the Laws of Physics.

Equation for the velocity of a closed universe.
You haven't improved anything your just spouting random WAGs that pop into your head. It's just a waste of time, good bye.
-
Equation for the velocity of a closed universe.
Every use of 'v' in your equation is velocity so I am not sure why you think I would be talking about a volume. Did you forget that V1 and V2 are also velocities? When you say "speed of the observer", what is the speed is relative to?
-
Equation for the velocity of a closed universe.
The recession velocity of the farthest galaxies exceed the speed of light so your equation must be wrong since your equation 'blows-up" if v=c.

The Universe might not be expanding.
You could of just said, "dunno".

The Universe might not be expanding.
How could space be deleted? What does that even mean? Why would space fill the area of deleted space.
