The Universe

Most people find this picture of our universe rather radiculous ,but why do we think we know better?What to do we know about the Universe,and how do we know it?Where did the universe come from and where is it going ?Did the universe have begining,and if so,what happend before then?what is the nature time?will it ever come to an end?Recent break throughs in physics , made possible in part by fantastic new technologies suggest answeres to some of these long standing questions .Some day these answeres may seem as obvious to us as the earth obiting the sun-or perhaps as ridicious as a tower of tortoises.only time (what ever that may be)will tell.
