Ok..few more...for now...
Considering the balloon analogy, how can galaxies collide if the space BETWEEN them is expanding?
Why is it that we don't actually experience the expansion of space? Is it because of the gravitational field? As in... it keep us "bounded" to this particular bodily composition, in terms of persons, planets, solar systems, galaxies, superclusters, etc.?
I understand Krauss to be arguing something to the effect that space must RESULT from fluctuations in the quantum gravitational field... but isn't this "quantum foam" itself an ultra-microscopic region of space? Doesn't he just mean that space can be inflated and produce matter from prior energy?
