Why is the Universe Incapable of Being Static?
In static, I mean not expanding. I understand the observable evidence we have, but I've read that for some reason involving relativity the universe has to either expand or contract - why is this?

I don't know, but it's apparent that the universe will dissipate. Thus, there must be an infinite number of them to explain its origin.

@Peekaboo: Nope, anything but.
How would it be considered endorsing the idea that we are the center of creation by saying there is not a multitude of everythings? You're confusing "universe" with "galaxies."

@Animore: No, I'm not. From my perspective you're confusing the universe with the cosmos.
I'm glad you're not a believer.

@Peekaboo: This sounds a lot like a subjectivist fallacy.
While there are minor differences in the terms, in astronomical usages, there aren't. The universe is the embodiment of everything, and so is the universe. It's just that a cosmos is a harmonious system, while a universe is the collection of everything physically real.
