As the Universe expands, gravity pulls on the Universe, and slows the expansion down over time. As we look to great distances, we are looking back in time. If we can measure how fast the Universe is expanding in the past, and compare it to how fast it is expanding now, we can see the total gravitational effect of all matter in the Universe. Here we plot the distance between two galaxies as a function of time. ... Universes with lots of material . ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
