Is it at all possible that instead of being pushed away, we are instead getting pulled toward something huuuuuge via gravity? As if we are falling into something way greater than ourselves? I thought this was a wild idea but after I Googled it I found out that there is such a thing as a “Great Attractor”. Something 150 million light-years away is literally pulling all nearby galaxies towards it but no one knows exactly what it is.
So how do we know there aren’t any other Great Attractors, Greater Attractors, ad infinitum?
Not unless we were directly in the center of it, in which case everything would seem to move away from us. But even then, if I'm not mistaken, physicists and astronomers have also proven that other objects are also moving away from one another too.
We can tell how something is moving based on the shift of its light, like the Doppler effect. The further something is the more its light is shifted, which was how we came to know this phenomenon in general of increasing size of space between all things.
What if everything is just getting smaller and smaller, so it just appears that everything is getting further away from everything else? Eventually, everything will be really tiny, but we won't notice, because everything else will be the same smol also.
Lol if joking. If not, I'm sorry but you severely misunderstood what is happening here
Totally just joking. But I like to play with ideas, even absurd ones. So partly not joking also?
