I've just had an idea, as-stupid-as-it-gets theory: perhaps universe isn't expanding, but everything in it is shrinking!
What's the difference? (No, seriously?)
Possibly the speed of light is just slowing and so it's taking increasing times to cover the distances. Anyway, we'll never know.
If the Higgs boson has really been discovered recently chances are the universe is instable enough to suddenly vanish. Or be replaced by something even more bizarre. Probably this has already happened.
