In the “Science and Engineering Indicators” survey
by the “National Science Board”, 33 percent of Americans say:
“ The universe began with a big explosion ”.

No ! it wasn't like a chunk of dynamite going off,
with spray diminishing over distance.

The true/false question should've been:
“ Since the start of the known Unverse,
the cosmos has remained uniform but lost density. ”.

Or, more precisely:
“ Since the start of the known Unverse 13.75 giga·years ago,
the cosmos has remained uniform but is now 1,088 times less dense. ”.

Much eXergy was consumed ― forever lost ―
to create the Universe we see today.

Over “giga·parsec distances”, accrued entropy ( dissipation )
has straightened out space·time warpages, elongating then.

Our ALWAYS uniform Universe has dissipated ( thinned out )
over giga·years as entropy accrued.
