Hey, are you going to tell us how “the expansion of space” works?

Does “old space” stretch, or is “new space” added to the old space? Tell us how that works.
Perhaps a Graphic will work.

You haven’t “expanded space”. Your last white background page is just as wide as your first one. My computer screen didn’t “expand”. All you did was add some extra = = = characters with your keyboard. What do you think we in the “general public” are, a bunch of idiots?

Stop conning us and give us a FULL SCIENTIFIC explanation of how “space expands”.
I AM in The General Public, thank you very much.

How about I just show you the Example my Professor gave us in Science Class Last Year.

Code:
*=*=*=*
Distance Between Individual Points = 1 
Total Distance Between End-Points  = 3

*==*==*==*
Distance Between Individual Points = 2
Total Distance Between End-Points  = 6

*====*====*====*
Distance Between Individual Points = 4
Total Distance Between End-Points  = 12

*========*========*========*
Distance Between Individual Points = 8
Total Distance Between End-Points  = 24
Notice, each point moves away from its neighbour at the same rate, however, the further away a point is, the Faster it Appears to Move.
