Aye. Know-Nothings with credentials seem to exist...as evidenced by those who post wild-eyed claims but then fail to post any support when challenged.
E.g. claiming that it is a fact that Gravity, the weakest of all known Forces, is doing something to Space that all other Forces are unable to do (i.e. halt the expansion of Space).
Another example would be someone who would claim that Space is expanding, but who couldn't identify the Force responsible for that expansion...much less explain why expansion at the Quantum Level wasn't being observed.
Such people would probably know no shame, too. Perhaps they'd even have fellow travelers who would post character assaults in some lame attempt to silence the challenge...
...but what they won't do...what they can't do...is substantiate their original starry-eyed claims.
Indeed. You got one right. The space inside molecules is truly *not* expanding.
Congrats. Perhaps there is hope for you yet.

The present standard model, the "big bang" model, was developed around three major pieces of experimental evidence:
The expansion of the universe
The 3K background radiation
The hydrogen-helium abundance.
As with most models of nature, it has seen successive refinements and has presented significant difficulties which fuel further investigation.
Is this pronouncement based upon universal experience, singular opinion, a combination of the two, or none of the above?
Looks like Darth Maul has all kinds of dark matter in his teeth. The dark side of the force is very powerful but it can’t repel tooth decay.
