| Dec 13, 2013 at 7:11 | comment | added | Zo the Relativist | the fact that the universe is observed to be consistent with an accelerating expansion model does the opposite of falsify an expansion model. | |
| Dec 13, 2013 at 5:18 | comment | added | MikeHelland | According to expanding models it would be perhaps a singularity, a seed waiting to sprout. But those models are falsified by evidence of an accelerating universe | |
