This NYC neighborhood was better known as "Satan's Highway". What did tourists flock to see in the area that had once rivaled Fifth Avenue?

In 2000, this man leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge. His life was saved in the most extraordinary way.

Did you know…

The universe has always been expanding at an accelerating rate. It is now expanding so fast that light leaving leaving the most distant stars will never be able to reach us because they are moving away from us faster than light travels which is 186,000 miles per second.

Eventually all stars will be moving away from us faster than the speed of light and the universe will be completely dark and we will be completely alone in complete darkness.

Completely…

We are presented a lot of facts about the universe, but they change, don't they. New discoveries.

Indeed some things are new discoveries; however the expansion of the universe, it’s rate of increasing acceleration and the speed of light are measurable and factual. As is the inevitable final state.

There are several universes I understand. Enlighten me please.

Multiverse theories.
Some propose an infinite number of universes, I don’t understand it at all and none of it is proven.

Infinite number of universes would mean eternity, wouldn't it?

If eternity is the never-ending extension of time, then I suppose we will have that in our own universe, if it goes on expanding forever.

We will have to wait and see 😄
