Over the past couple weeks out of curiosity I have been studying some of the current theories of the universe.

Not that I claim to be a cosmologist but here is what I think. We do not yet have the technology or the knowledge to truly discover how the universe formed, if it will end, how big it is how old it is, etc.

Since we have never been outside of our own solar system and still have much to learn about our own sun and planets, I think cosmology itself is a waste of time With all of the current theories about the origin and the state of the universe, many of them conflicting, my feeling would be that given time most of these theories will be proven wrong.

I think astronomy is a better science, learning through observation, instead of sitting billions of light years away from an object an theorizing about what it is that is going on with the object.

Just as theories like the earth was the centre of the universe were proven wrong I beleive that most if not all of the current theories will be dismissed over the coming decades and centuries, and that we will not truly begin to understand the universe until we are able to travel to the other stars and galaxies to observe and study first hand what is going on.
