Man, just think about it this way. What are they lying to you about now?

No lunatic would be right. Ancient Greeks used to believe that the changing phases of the moon caused epilepsy among other conditions. This idea then morphed in to a general fear that the moon could cause madness, a belief that carried from the dark ages all the way up until the 1700's OP's mum.

I've been through a few dashboard cameras (Texas sun in a black car w/black interior kills em) and most do get you the ability to record at lower FPS. Security cameras I know do, but my current dashboard cam I've had a couple years and don't remember if it does :(

My first exposure to different moon shape was when I traveled south from Edmonton to Mexico. What you see depends on your latitude location on the earth.

The expansion of space does not have the speed limit that traveling through space has.

What is a worm noon? Scratches noggin. Never heard of this before. Thanks.

So, things got more distant from each other at a rate that was faster than the speed of light?

AKA sunbeams, aka crepuscular rays. If you ever see crepuscular rays when you look at the sunset, turn around and face the opposite direction. You may see dark counterparts, known as anticrepuscular rays. They're the shadows of the clouds causing the sunbeams in the west. Anticrepuscular rays converge on the eastern horizon, opposite the sun's position in the west.

The same holds at sunrise, of course.

Update: probably not, the time difference is not that big

I believe the correct term would be "lunaphobe"

You sound really cool! I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to record time lapse driving videos. I'd love it if there was a camera that recorded video at around 15 FPS.

I am also curious about this. My personal theory about this, is that the dark matter is beyond the limits of the observable universe. I'm not a scientist, but I have studied science my entire life. I can never seem to learn enough to ever be satisfied.

But the universe IS the surface. In this example, there is no inside. For an object placed upon the baloon, all that he sees is everything getting further apart, and that's how the universe behaves.
The universe was smaller, than it got bigger. It got bigger everywhere, in all directions, at the same rate. There is no 'X' direction where things got pushed out of, everything just got more distant from everything else.

It was fun living in the opposite hemisphere and enjoying the moon being upside-down, I hope to see it again sometime soon

? The surface doesn't have a center, but the balloon does. If all the mass was on the balloon surface, then there is a point inside the balloon that is, effectively, the center of mass of all that mass. That's X. And, presumably, not ALL of the mass expanded outward, otherwise there would be a massive empty space in the middle of the universe. (As far as I know, that hasn't been discovered.)

This is where my mind clash. I believe in science and in space. I recently been digging deeper into it, but to me the more I dig it gets really complicated.It drives me insane to think about it and makes me wonder if it's even real. Space at time makes no sense to me, I know I'm not an astrophysicist but my God man some shit they say doesn't make sense, like how do you know this stuff goes back to the big bang and how are we the only ones alive? How come we've never seen this supposed 9th planet this whole time?
