Space Is Expanding So It Can’t Be Infinite? Yawn
space is flat No rotation as far as we can tell and therefore it is infinite. The universe is not expanding as its already infinite. So what's happening - its expanding locally there is another place way far away from here - unimaginably far where space is compressing. There is an infinite number of areas where as far as you can see is expanding and just as many where space is compressing. If the large scale structure goes on forever and there is a similar less defined larger structure and so on and so on out to infinity then the universe is not expanding - it is locally yet for all we can see it is an insignificant spec.
The knots in the large scale structure appear to be forming an endless cloud of something like quarks - sound familiar. I believe it to be doing the same on ever larger scales Less defined As you pull back.
If this happened then DArk matter is all the stuff that did not fall into the singularities that make up the particles of matter. Dark energy is the result of gravity since it cause space to compress and therefor must expand somewhere else.
A black hole sees time go by fast but the stuff outside sees it take forever. When the knots in the large scale structure form particles and cool as the matter around us did - If you were made out of that and looked back at the creation of the particles that made you - it would look like it happened in a bang yet looking up from here it looks like it will take billions if not trillions of years
