Thank you empeda

Looking at the map. It relies on the Big Bang and the expansion of the universe.

The universe is endless and all the zoo animals will be found deeper and deeper in space.

The universe is not 14 Billion years old.

The map that shows the slice of the universe does not indicated that the universe is expanding.
The map is great empeda i love it.

Yeah, check it out guys, the important thing to remember of course is that it's a map of the visible universe...

Zoom right out and it's looks a bit like the surface of a star - this probably shows something, relevent - who knows...... :!:

The map shows millions of super clusters.
Speaking with some cosmologists there seems to be a definition difference
in that the super clusters are about 9 known.
