The one where... you know... the thing with stuff happens. And then more stuff happens. IDK man!
Well it all depends on how many dimensions you're dealing with and whether you assume space is infinite or finite and whether the geometry is homogeneous or heterogeneous (such as whether it has a centre and an edge or else wraps around in another dimension) and whether or not you figure dark matter and dark energy are actual things or just fudge factors to make the math come out right... but I don't know a heap about cosmology.

... I like pie too! Pie is really great.

Ah, but which big bang model?
The one where space is finite, but unbounded, because I kinda like that theory. And until science the Reapers bring up a proof for one model to be "the one and only one for me" that is right, it's as good as eleven pulsating big balls of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... lies about a cake. There, Mass Effect, Chobits, Sagan, Stringtheory, Dr. Who and GLaDOS. Take that, LHC! ;)

You forgot to throw Mass Effect in there. I am disappoint.

Aye, I don't know exactly what happened, but then, I don't claim to. That's pretty much the difference.

you should look into what makes stars shine ;) constant, (nearly) eternal nuclear fusion.
Ah, so you've caught onto my love of nuclear fusion, and especially how the massive internal temperatures of a star allow the electrorepulsive force of hydrogen atoms to be overcome and therefore allow fusion between lighter elements to give off He3 and Deuterium isotopes, which also gives off lots of light and energy (DISCLAIMER: I'm not an astrophysicist, or even anything remotely similar. I'm just an easily bored, insatiably curious girl with lots of time on her hands).
Nuclear fusion is the best. Don't argue with it, man.

I wasn't arguing with it, I was infact agreeing with it! :D

I'm only familiar with the scientific works of Doctor Rodney McKay and Colonel Samantha Carter (that is a joke). Please enlighten me!
It happened in an interview, Bill O'Reilly wanted to proof the existence of god / a higher being and said
O'REILLY: I'll tell you why [religion's] not a scam, in my opinion: tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that.

Some time after this (quickly internet-infamous) interview, O'Reilly's statement was (obviously) crushed by several scientists, one being the rather well-known Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse-Tyson, who (in my opinion) has a very amusing sense of humor. Google two things: O'Reilly+Tides and Tides+deGrasse and you'll see the whole story.

Oh and kudos to you for a semihidden Stargate reference. ;)
