OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion

[Randallw]

I was sort of thinking of that epsiode of Futurama where the universe is in a box. Fry sits on the box and the universe is squashed, but since they are in the universe they don't notice. Only us outside observers. Probably a mistake to consider Futurama scientific fact . After all they increased the speed of light.

"That's impossible"
"nothing's impossible. Not if you can imagine it. That's what being a scientist is all about"
"No, that's what being a magical elf is all about"
