Yes, it's expanding, but on the inside (like a balloon). Unless you can already look outside, you're not getting any closer to the outside. (Assuming an "outside")

We aren't all the same, biologically. Every person (besides identical twins) has a unique DNA structure. There is no "human genome", there are 8 billion human genomes.

Best analogy I’ve heard is to imagine our universe was flat and existed on the surface of a balloon. As the balloon expands all 2 dimensional creatures living on the balloon see other galaxies moving away from them. But what is it expanding into? Nothing. Their universe is made of a flat ball of expanding rubber. It’s not expanding into more rubber. There is absolutely nothing that exists within the laws of nature in that 2 dimensional universe that can possibly describe what it is expanding into. In fact it’s really only expanding in time. The balloon was smaller in the past and will be larger in the future. But it isn’t expanding into anything.

Now imagine three dimensions of space and one of time expanding (if you have a better imagination than me) in the same way that balloon expands. It’s not expanding into anything, it is everything and everything is expanding. Also as far as we can tell our universe does not curve into itself like a balloon. Or if it does it must be at least 23 trillion light years in diameter based on the accuracy of our measurements.

In some places, sweing up to vagina (leaving a small opening for menstrual blood) is seen as a way to prevent rape by making it too difficult to perform intercourse.

The minimal version is just a pinprick on the clitoris hood to draw a drop of blood - it was legal for a while.

Not to go down the incomprehensible road, but if they say the universe is expanding relative to origin. What physically is it expanding into? A void? And would that void have existed before the beginning of time?

That nothing is called God..

Even though all humans are biologically similar, we all have different tastes and preferences when it comes to food and drink. This is because our sense of taste and smell are influenced by many factors, including our genetics, our experiences, and our cultural background.

For example, some people might be more sensitive to certain tastes or smells than others, which can affect whether they like or dislike certain foods. Some people might also have had positive or negative experiences with certain foods in the past, which can influence their preferences. Additionally, the foods that we are exposed to and eat regularly can also play a role in our preferences. For example, if you grow up eating a lot of spicy food, you might be more likely to enjoy spicy food as an adult.

So, even though we are all the same biologically, there are many factors that can influence what we like and dislike when it comes to food and drink.

Skiers have two edges (one on each ski) to dig into the snow to turn. They're both directly on the skier's body. A snowboarder only has one edge, and it's outside of the body mass, so a snowboarder has to lean to dig in. This is why you see new snowboarders spending a lot of time trying to lean back and then balling on their butts.

Genetically we are all different, but experience also ties into it.

Humans have different concentrations of taste buds and tolerance for certain types of food.

Some people love spicy food and can eat things that's nuclear hot, while others hate it because it destroys their stomach.

Some people won't eat Cilantro because they have a mutation that makes it taste like soap.

Some people won't eat a certain type of food because it made them throw up once, or they were force fed a certain food by their parents and they refuse to eat it as adults.

Or they may have allergies. Severe allergies have a way of making foods very unappealing.

It’s also possible that events still happened before the Big Bang. Just not in any kind of cause > effect order. What started existing at the Big Bang was the arrow of time.

There could be time, just not space time with any meaningful relationships we would recognize constituting a recognizable “before” or “after” relationship. There could still be change as in your bubbling equilibrium theory.

Honestly that never stops happening. More important to be asking in the first place. :-)

Ok thanks, I sometimes think of something that I want an answer to, then I see an answer this simple and I wonder how I didn’t think of it myself

1. Genetically we are different. We do not all have the same number of taste buds or concentration of taste buds, so something that tastes just sweet enough for one person might taste too sweet or not sweet at all for another person. Some people have tolerances for spicy foods and enjoy the flavor of spicy peppers, some people think it's all just really hot and burning their mouth and don't find any flavor there at all. Some people can't taste certain things at all (like that meme about people thinking Cilantro tastes like soap).

2. We have different upbringings and exposures to different things. Your neighbor might really enjoy pancakes and syrup because it was a rare treat that brings back fond childhood memories. You might hate it because you ate Eggos every day growing up and you got burned out on it.

we don't know, yet, and that's OK. Maybe we'll find out someday, maybe we won't. That's science, baby.

the husband stitch? from what I understand it happens fairly frequently (at least in the us). I saw a post like two days ago with a woman who was given a husband stitch without consent after giving birth

That's like saying distance is a human construct used to measure length?

The units to measure them might be manmade - minutes and meters. But time and distance are real things.

Weirdly, both space and time as we know them began from the big bang. So neither distance nor duration exist when the whole universe was compressed into one small thing. The correct answer is that there is no "before".

Personally I have always imagined the universe in a bit of bouncy equilibrium - the big bang followed by expansion, which peters out eventually, to be followed by the big squeeze and compression, which leads to overcompression and another big bang, so on and so forth.

You're conflating time units and temporal vocabulary, with the part of the universe described by the part of the mathematical model that we call time.

Humanity not existing didn't prevent galaxies to form and recombination to happen. However, our current models cannot even talk about "before the big bang"

But isn't time just a human construct used to measure duration? So wouldn't that imply that time didn't begin with the big bang, but with humans recording time?
