This community is inspired by r/DeepThoughts.
Rules:
- Be kind and respectful
Healthy debates are welcome, but hate speech, bigotry, personal attacks and bad-faith arguments are not.
- Stay on topic
This is a place for deep thoughts, not quick questions or random ideas. Post titles should express a full idea that encourages meaningful discussion.
- Value different perspectives
We all think in different ways, and that makes discussions better. Discrimination of any kind - racism, sexism, homophobia or otherwise - is not allowed.
- Engage thoughtfully
Try to understand why others think the way they do, respond with empathy, and remember there is a real person behind every comment.
- Think clearly and critically
Good writing helps everyone think better. Avoid trolling and misinformation. Take the time to consider different viewpoints before responding.

Well, there was a big bang, but the Big Bang Theory doesn't talk about the dimensions of empty space, just matter. There are several alternate theories that, for example, say the Big Bang is a reoccurring phenomenon, like all the contents collapose and it bangs again or bangs just happen rarely in empty space, but outside of distances we can observe.
About dark matter/energy: That's really just a fancy label for the math being off a bit. It might turn out as a formula/constant not being perfect or it's just something that's really hard to spot, like a UFO can just turn out to be some swamp gas. Something's there, but we don't know until we find out more.
