We will never know everything and may not be able to see far enough to know much about the outer universe except what it was like billions of years ago. The light from most stars in distant galaxies come from stars that don’t even exist anymore.

It was the greatest observation of a single star in astronomical history.Revisionist history here. The truth is that almost all our astronomical knowledge came from the ancient black Egyptians, data collected as they flew from Memphis to Thebes in their high altitude gliders.
Once we discovered that the Universe was expanding, the next scientific step was to determine what the rate of expansion was Universe is expanding into. How can something infinite be expanding? What was there before it expanded into it?

The expansion of the Universe represents a lot of energy. Where did the energy come from? And don’t say from the Big Bang. That energy predates the Big Bang.
Next step is to read St Thomas of Aquinas about the Unmoved Mover.

I think that is one of the big questions.

Well, clearly we need a consensus of published scientists in order to find out.

Until they figure out how fast the universe is expanding, they won’t know who is to blame—Bush or Trump.

Just declare the science is settled and be done with it. If declaring science settled with climate change, it’s good enough for astrophysics.
