I am a bit "obsessed" with cosmology and the universe. Unfortunately, although very intelligent physics is not my strong suit. But- even the most detailed available books cannot always answer my questions and thoughts. With that said I have another question- not exactly a physics one though :) As images from Chandra show a more "vast " universe that the eye can see, is it possible there is some visibilty of a black hole in something we are not seeing so to speak? Also if gravity bends light , and what we see today in fabulous images is from say 400 million years ago- and the universe is expanding, hence smaller then, wouldn't/ shouldn't there be more distortion than images show as galaxies and stars would have been much closer together. Also I understand the expansion and the raisin bread analogy, but with an accelerated expansion at some point wouldnt' the light reach us much "faster" as we are moving towards the former position of where the light left the object even though the object moving away in a certain direction. In other directions we would both be moving away from each other. You can't say we are static even if that is our , and every raisin's perception. Also if Andromeda and our galaxy are on a collision course how is this possible if we are expanding? Thanks for any input on this- my brain hurts :)
