The discussion revolves around the concepts of the expansion and contraction of the universe, particularly focusing on the potential for a big crunch scenario versus the current understanding of cosmic expansion. Participants explore various theories, including the effects of dark energy, gravitational forces, and the dynamics within galaxies.
Participants exhibit disagreement regarding the nature of expansion in relation to gravitationally bound structures. While some assert that galaxies are not expanding, others question the implications of their movement relative to the expanding universe. The discussion remains unresolved on several points, particularly concerning the interplay between gravity and expansion.
Limitations include varying interpretations of gravitational effects on cosmic expansion and the definitions of space in relation to expansion. Some mathematical and conceptual assumptions remain unaddressed.

I think you misunderstood my Y'all comment, and I understand why. I should have used the word ME instead of THIS. As in " ...before YOU OTHER GUYS jump on ME like a mountain lion..."
I just thought ME was too personal, but I guess this made it sound like I was somehow criticizing/insulting FS.
Just the opposite, I was DEFENDING his use of the word acceleration when it is used in combination with rate.
Too bad you misunderstood, it seems to be a recurring situation on the Internet where something is taken out of context.
Perhaps since the Internet is viewed world wide, outside of English speaking countries, I should be extremely careful with casual use of clever language twists.
