@metal-brain saidI have never (yes, never ) read anything you've posted that is even remotely correct. You are always, always wrong. At first, like some generous people here, I thought you were just trolling, because no one can be 100% wrong 100% of the time. But, no, you actually are. No matter the subject, you can be reliably counted on to be wrong about it. ALL THE TIME. You're like a freak of nature or something; you completely defy natural odds.
Does mindless trolling make you feel smart?
You don't seem to offer anything to this forum at all. Nothing intellectual, just ad homenum attacks heavily laced with insults. Do you think nobody here has noticed?
I think you have a lot of animosity toward the truth and anyone who promotes the truth. You are letting your political bias spill over into science. I say that ...[text shortened]... rong 100% of the time. Why do you want to believe people you hate can never be right about anything?
Suzi is a mindless troll. She does not even have a basic understanding of science, yet she come to the science forum to lie and troll. She is like an ape that lives to throw dung until she hits something purely by chance.
Ignore the trolls. They have nothing to offer here and they are simply envious of anyone that does. Their ad hominem attacks prove that.

@metal-brain saidno, it's by reversing the expansion of the universe and going back to the big bang...
Was that determined by finding galaxies 13.8 billion light years away?
@mlb62 saidThat is another theory. Some people refer to that as the "big crunch theory". The expansion is accelerating so there is no sign of reversal. For that reason the big crunch theory is not as popular as it used to be.

@metal-brain saidFive year old, and no, he didn't say that.

Come on, you can't even get your misattributed quotes "right"!

@metal-brain saidAh. Found the young-Earth creationist.
There is no evidence. That is why it is a theory.

@shallow-blue saidHow do you know that for sure? What is your source of information?

@metal-brain saidYour quote does not appear in the book "The Ultimate Quotable Einstein" by Alice Calaprice, 2011. (An illicit pdf of the entire book can be found online.)

What Einstein did write once was this: "All physical theories, their mathematical expressions notwithstanding, ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them."
Misattributed to Einstein is this quote: "You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother."
Your quote is just a variation of this misattribution, which seems to be a product of the internet made a decade or two back. The author ceased to add more misattributions by around 2010, it seems, and maybe much earlier (see page xvii and beyond).

@metal-brain saidHow do you explain gravitational theory? Do you think there is no evidence for gravity?
There is no evidence. That is why it is a theory.

@athousandyoung said"The Brain" clearly does not understand the formal definition of the word "theory."

Close enough. Can't you explain it to a child?
@athousandyoung saidI cannot escape the earth by jumping. That is good evidence.
