As I have pointed out (and, any of our resident academics, feel free to disagree), we must, at the very least, live in a 5-dimensional Universe, three spatial, one time, with the 5th dimension being a hyper spherical or saddle type geometry where our Universe is expanding without a unique spatial center. No one can directly visualize this geometry, as we are trapped in our 3-dimensional World. This implies the existence of "new physics", which means that the God of the Gaps arguments are pointless.
