I know the Observable Universe (OU) is Expanding, and I think this is (by now) beyond dispute. However, there is no evidence at all to show that every part of the Universe is expanding.
Perhaps the Universe as a Whole (UAW) is not expanding at all. What if it was contracting?
What if the OU was Expanding and the UAW was contracting? What if it just 'looked like' the UAW was Expanding, perhaps the way it just 'looked like' the Sun went around the Earth to the old timers?
If the UAW was contracting, there would have to be a reason - like for example, if the Universe came already expanded (not even requiring a Big Bang) and Gravity alone was pulling it together. There's a reason.
And evidence. There should be some evidence that Gravity is pulling us all together, of course. Well maybe there is.
Now, if Gravity was pulling us together, say from a centralised singularity - then wouldn't we be Speeding Up? Well, guess what , we are. And wouldn't the center be Speeding Up more than the outer edges?
Well, that might result in some Expansion, don't you think, with the middle collapsing faster than the edges?
Any expansion leads to cooling, I believe, just as any contraction leads to warming.
Okay, so now - politely please - tell me what You think...
