The word "theory" derives from the Greek word "theoria", meaning "to look at".  'Theory' has multiple meanings depending on the context of discussion. In everyday life, people use the word "theory" to signify "speculation", "opinion" or "hypothesis". However, "theories" do not necessarily mean facts or opinions. In the science field, scientists understand theories to be well established and verifiable models of interaction.  

      "The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory."                                                                                                                                                                 -Thomas Jefferson

The National Academy of Sciences describes the word theory in the following way: Some scientific explanations are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science. In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature that is supported by many facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena.

  I've always thought it should be impossible to see the entire universe. In a big bang scenario, most of the matter would be traveling in very differant directions from us and our combined speeds away from each other would make the light from all those stars doppler out of visible wavelengths.

  The cone shaped universe theory fits my theory rather well. I believe there should be layers of space on the periphery of said cone where the light  would dopler out to xray and gamma ray wavelengths. this would explain the abundance of that kind of background noise in the universe. The light from the rest of the matter in the spherical universe would doppler out to nothing we can detect

 This would make the universe 3 or 4 times larger than we thought.It explains the location of a lot of dark matter, the abundance of X and Gamma background noise, and the true shape of the universe.

Lil’ Drac is an orphaned short tailed fruit bat (Carollia perspicillata). His mother was yet another casualty from zoo closures which are occurring across the US. lil-drac-crop

She is a young motherwho was stressed from the conditions in which she was kept, combined with the additional trauma of being captured and transferred to a new and unfamiliar environment. Consequently, she abandoned Lil’ Drac after he was born. He was found on the padded floor of the indoor flight enclosure at Bat World Sanctuary, curled up in a little ball.
