RE: Spitzer confirms cosmological inflation
It's a fuzzy area for me. That's why I asked the question.



Next up, why doesn't expansion affect things local to us like the distance between the Earth and Sol or Sol and the center of the Milky Way?

RE: Spitzer confirms cosmological inflation
In a word: gravity.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
