Bob Dan: If space in the universe is expanding, then why aren't we being stretched thin and ripped apart, atom by atom? I mean, when the expansion apply at every level, right down to the subatomic. How is this current expansion different from the so-called big rip you talk about? And here's what I want to know, Bob Dan. Why do you have such a damn attitude? You gave me attitude. No, you are imbuing this boy's question with attitude. Okay. Maybe please peacefully and calmly, I'm sure.
