Hello all. I am a newcomer on the forum and no major math or astronomy knower.
But I have often thought about this issue I would like to ask about here.
From what I understand the Big Bang happened from a singularity expanding outwards (or exploding). As the speed of light is considered a constant, when the singularity expanded it can only reach the speed of light.
Now as the universe expands bodies are made, stars, planets and all these bodies have a gravity pull on the expanding universe.
So as now the expansion speed is bigger than the gravity pull of these bodies, but the gravity pull must slow the expansion down.
So should science not be able to calculate when the expanse will stop and the gravity pull will be bigger than the escape velocity ?
I know this might sound stupid or like I am a real dummie, but I am trying to learn more so please have patience with me.
Regards
Christian
