Every few years scientists discover something that rewrites the book on the creation of a Universe.
That's going to happen again and again for quite some time; maybe as long as humanity exists.
For example, I am not at all sure that black holes are sucking up matter.
Perhaps energy is pouring out of black holes, transforming into matter, and forming stars that eventually form galaxies. It could be the way this Universe grows.
Just a thought for all of you amateur astronomers out there.
