    Your theory of a continuously expanding universe presupposes that the universe is not a complex topological form. However if it is like a four dimensional klein bottle, then your theory will not be accurate because the matter in the outward expanding wave will flow back in upon itself due to the curvature of the space time it travels in. You also presuppose that there is no force which will cause an attraction to draw everything back again. Just because no one has measured it does not mean it is not there. Lack of evidence is not proof. However your comments were interesting and showed that you at least thouht about the subject.

    But seriously what is the big deal about long range investment in science? I have lived 54 years and have seen so many advances and watched as others have stagnated due to lack of investment. Since 1959 we have had the technology to send a manned expedition to the stars* but failed due to financial and political concerns. Just because we might not live to see the fruition of the research, does not mean it should not be done. * For those interested in how this was to be done look up project Orion and Project Medusa. Which were H-bomb powered proposals for a 0.1 to 0.3 Speed of light engined Space craft.
