Re: OT: what does an expanding universe mean?

The week's question

In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Two years ago my sister said to me, "If I don't make it to Christmas, I'll see you in the stars.

Last year she opened her eyes and said "Sano, Sh!t happens."

Then she left. Matter devoid of energy.

Her energy?... traveling outward through the galaxies?... chasing Starman's roadster? Nah. Her matter? Recycling.

Please accept my condolences.

While her matter is thankfully recycling,
her existence is ever-emergent in complexity.

Tom
