    There is no surface. Just the matter that is accelerating to the cold dark end. The sizes are difficult to imagine but the enormous universes are specks in the whole. We are just getting farther and farther away from the start and are spreding apart. There is not enough in the semi vacuum of space to slow down anything. No noticeable friction.
    Matter is just frozen energy.

    I ordered the DeGrasse book in Kindle format yesterday, fixing to go tear into it in a few minutes. They even gave me a $2.50 credit so it was only $5.50. I don't have the intellect to comprehend this stuff the way that physicists can, but it's still fascinating to learn even at my level.]


    I made that mistake a few times in my life, deep diving into some BIG BANG THEORY kind of 'stuff', thinking, well I'm REASONABLY smart. I was disabused of that delusion QUICKLY. Sometimes before I finished the table of contents.
    WK1 3/28-/4 _Cases 301k--Dead 18.1k Lethality 2.72%
    WK2 4/5-/13 _Cases 555k--Dead 22.1K Lethality 3.9%
    WK3 4/20-/21 Cases 774k -Dead 37.2K Lethality 4.8%
    WK4 4/22-/29 Cases 1M --Dead 58.8K Lethality 5.9%
    WK5 5/1-/8__ Cases 1.3M -Dead 75.7K Lethality 6.1%
    WK6 5/9-16__Cases 1.4M --Dead 85.8K Lethality 6.1%
    WK7 5/17-24_Cases 1.7M - Dead 97.6K Lethality 5.9%
    WK8 5/28 Cases 1.7M - DEAD 101.2K - Same
