Program is running out of memory.
Heap memory specifically.
He needs to tune down that garbage collection
If we expand anymore we’ll pop the neutron that contains the universe.

Does the universe—err, HAVE memory via conservation of mass or sumfing?
42?
Correct. Don't forget to bring a towel!
For everyone talking about the expansion of the Universe, that's not what this is about. The Universe is still expanding, at an accelerating rate. This work is about the rate of structure formation (the large-scale clumpiness of matter) being slowed down, not the expansion of spacetime.
So the galaxian filaments have surface tension?
If I'm thinking of this right, yes, and it's like they have less than we thought and aren't splitting up into "droplets" (clusters of galaxies) as fast as we think they should be.
It's finally here - Physics 2
Electromagnetic Boogaloo
Well you heard of quatinions now get ready for 3D quatinions!
I hate this kind of titles that try hard to make science sound esoteric. Science is exciting enough by itself!
Nice a new update it's dropping.
"Patch notes: fixed weird bug slowing down the expansion of the universe; heat death now correctly occurs in 2025"
Well, shit
Forest new math.
Now the woke fuckers are bringing new physics?!
When will the insanity end???
Is the big crunch back on the menu?
Is that the one in a giant dorito?
It's an off brand great value nacho corn chip but basically the same yeah
Paper
God bless you 🙏
It noticed humans and said ‘whoa whoa whoa, that’s not at all what we meant’.
Aliens. It’s always aliens.
Sounds pretty spooky.
its time to upgrade RAM
This is a render distance issue, the bottleneck is clearly GPU
God has raised the interest rate
Prismo just stabilised the multiverse.
the spiders making the cosmic web are on strike duh
I'm sorry, this totally was not my intention.
It's on a bit of a diet, seems to be working, good for the universe
What does... God... need... with a starship?
Jim, what are you doing
I am asking a question
Shit, I knew I forgot about doing something.
Because the entire universe is inside a black hole and what we percieve as expansion is acceleration to a singularity?

Your source refutes your claim.
The current unbiased status of the universe is in a black hole theory is that it is possible, The math could work*, but we don't have any good reasons to actually believe it is actually the case.

I just found this fascinating:
"In other words, if a black hole was as large as the universe we can see, it would have the same density as the universe."
The idea that we could be inside a black hole and just not know it is mind boggling.
"Lineweaver notes there is an event horizon around the observable universe, just as there is around a black hole, and this is just one of the parallels between them."
There are a bunch of parallels, but a number of those parallels are still theoretical. If this exists then it would look like that If this works like that then it would also seem like this.
The strongest statement we can make about it is there's currently no concrete evidence that it's not what's happening.
It's a great thought experiment, but it's a pretty bold jump to go from we don't see any reason this can't be true to announcing that It's the defacto case.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That would imply the universe has a center. There's no evidence of that.
Technically the "center" that they're referring to would be the unknowable edge of the universe, which we know must exist ist just more like a point in time rather than space itself as we perceive it. We're both speeding towards it and infinitely pushing it away until gravity wins and the inertia of the big bang is cancelled out.
It is the weekend for whoever is running the universe experiment so they went home. Just wait a couple more gazillion years and they will be back adding more stuff to the mix.
The universe is a giant black hole that’s why it’s slowing down
Congrats on your Nobel prize!
Wait did they just solve science or smthn?
