The universe is quite awesome

As it is, I give it about a 13.7/10

It's way too safe and peaceful. I wanna be in an Universe where there's constant war between good and evil. And when I say evil, I meant aliens who can destroy our star with the push of a button. Now, that would be awesome!

Eh, I've seen better. No magic powers in this one. 🙁

I'd say yes because they don't know wtf dark mater/energy is. So I would call that magic.

The way I see it is we all live in a giant Jello mold. The planets and stars are pineapple chunks and dark matter/energy is gelatin.

There was a recent article stating those statistics are wrong, there is slightly more matter relative to dark energy.

I got that pie chart from wikipedia. I have seen others show 70% dark matter and more dark energy and visible matter. I didn't know which is newer but the overall notion that we are very small by comparison still holds true.
 
I was watching a show on the science channel the other day where they were trying to ascertain whether space was curved (finite bubble), or flat(infinite) by attempting to measure curvature when triangulating really distant features, and that experiment seemed to support an infinite universe.

If space is infinite and since when looking really far away we are only seeing the very distant past it shouldn't be a surprise we have to resort to models that rely on things labelled so enigmatically as dark matter and dark energy. We are attempting to understand everything, with firsthand knowledge of the tiniest fraction of something so vast.

The current theory (based on observable evidence) suggests that although the universe is finite right now, because it is flat, it will not collapse back down in a "big crunch" but will rather keep on expanding forever.

Interestingly, our galaxy (and everything in it) is not expanding. Neither are other galaxies because they are bound by gravity. The space between them is expanding.

Evil aliens who could destroy the sun with the push of a button?

Well they just pushed the button, your move.
