As for my choice of words, such as cluster, I must apologize to all of you. By cluster, I simply meant group...such as a group of stars rotating together and making up a galaxy.
The truth is we don't know anything. Stephen Hawking has suggested that instead of a "big bang," the universe may have bubbled out, producing a universe full of galaxies governed by their own laws of physics. If someone like Hawking isn't sure of the what's out there, then what makes someone like senior member 01101001 think he knows the truth? I might only be in first year and my passions tend to cause me to run at the mouth, but at least I think for myself instead of reciting other people's theories.

Admirable.
However, your passion is indeed causing you to run your mouth ( I also am afflicted with this).
These hairless apes don't know everything, but don't take it to the other extreme and say we must therefore know nothing.
We actually know quite a bit.
And, incidently, humanity (the upper class educated ) has been aware that the Earth was not flat for thousands of years. You make it sound like a recent discovery.
We may not know the true nature of the universe and all that lies within it. But that doesn't mean we know nothing about it. I would suggest you use that passion to learn what you do not yet know. Then use that foundation upon which to build theories.
