A WIDELY HELD THEORY ABOUT THE UNIVERSE EXPANDING HAS JUST BEEN CONTRADICTED

[Curious layman]

'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.'

There's actually a thread about this. Sorry, very late where I am. 😴

Darn.
I was just about to tell you that you're a little late, and the party started without you  .
