Possibly... if it was on a smaller scale than what I am talking about, its kind of like how people believed the world was flat...but not also to the same degree...Uhmm...If you were the size of an ant, one might say that the world was mostly flat with various hills placed on top.. all because of perspective.. uhm.. wait.. bad example..
I mean.. what I'm trying to say is, if we are in the path someplace of the radius of the big bang, the plane of expansion could be so large that our tools today have no way of differentiating if some parts are expanding 1/200000 of a molecule faster or slower.. because the larger it is, the harder it is to tell what is going on about oneself.. and we'd need to... I dunno.. maybe see 0.00005% of the area around us to actually tell if there is a curve or not... and hence since we cannot tell how far we can actually measure we don't know if it could be or not.
So you can say the expansion of the universe is even, but we don't have enough samples from further out to tell for sure, also, we'd need several thousand years worth of galaxy positions to relate them all to each other (to mathematically compare the slow motions of the galaxies to their relative positions in order to determine speed), and so far we only have star charts that might be that old...

Time and space are intricately interlocked, where there is no space there is no time... so if space collapsed into the node that created the big bang, it would be like a RAM drive suddenly powered down, and no data can be derived from it further back than the loss of power..
(space includes the area about planets that is an absolute vaccum... and since we are 3-D beings the true concept of there being "no space" is quite hard... maybe even impossible for us to imagine, but with math there might be a way to piece it together.)
Its okay to disagree, thats what Science is about, disagreeing to the point of a mutual discovery that cannot be disproved by either side.. I know my theory has tons of flaws in it also. Hahaha.
