Default Re: IS SPACE CONTRACTING?

Hehe :-), well, there is a hypotesis that says something like "data expands to fill the available storage", You know how that new big hard disk seems to fill up in no time?... I guess the same goes for physical storage areas...

Though i do think the universal expansion is something occuring over large areas of space, so that objects are farther from each other, its probably not expansion like stretching of the universe, I dont even think that would be noticed, not directly anyway, since it would skew our perception of space too... its probably more like there is coming more space inbetween the objects, and the objects gravity and other forces keeping it together, so you cant get expansion in your house this way... ;-)
