#like this isnt intended to contradict modern theory (imagine the ego lmao) its just a different perspective

Ok hear me out-

I think the universe is shrinking.

Nonono listen hear me out so according to modern astronomy, space is expanding, with no point of origin. The universe is spreading through vast, infinite nothingness, with it being the only thing really defining space.

Now I know reality isn't based in human perception, but the only way I can picture bodies getting further away from eachother uniformly, with no focal point, would be to view like a grid of dots and then have the dots shrink. Keeping in mind tho that size is relative and that space is an undefined variable which is only given value in correspondence to its contents, it would then appear that the dots themselves don't change size; the change would be transferred to the variable, thus defining space as expanding.

So while space is ever growing, I think at the same time you could argue that the universe - that is, celestial bodies relative to space - is shrinking.
