Oh man, my Dropbox situation was so fucked… unintentionally deleted directories, the Dropbox sync kicked in! Needless to say, never again did I trust a Cloud service. At least not in the way to be 100% dependent on it.

Assert dominance and look at them while you’re at it by the built-in camera.

Isn’t expansion comparable to speed instead of acceleration? If the universe is expanding, i.e., already spreading in all kinds of directions constantly, wouldn’t slower expansion mean deceleration? But I guess you meant the same with “eventual collapse later, but probably not now”.

If it’s slowing down right now instead of expanding what was previously observed, that actually means that there was quite a force to get it into the other direction. Or am I misinterpreting things?
