When we collide with Andromeda galaxy in about 3 billion years none of this will matter. Glad I won’t be here to worry if we get slammed by another star!

I am becoming of an age when eating a Milky Way makes MY borders be expanding.

[wardaddy]

Yes it’s true

The blue moon just told me

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I hope so. Today’s Milky Way bars are much smaller than they were when I was a kid. The same for Snickers and Three Musketeers (my favorite).

borders expanding?

We're going to need an even bigger wall, but don't worry -- Mexico will pay for it.

How could they know? The light reaching us left before humans created the first telescope.

Is it an observer thing related to general relativity? If we were in another galaxy, like Andromeda and made the measurements of the Milky Way galaxy, maybe expansion would be obvious. Like an observer in a rocket ship traveling at the speed of light, nothing looks out-of-the-ordinary in his rocket ship; however, he would suggest everything else is changing...

(spoken)
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
(sung)
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

(waltz)

Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz;
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!

Who f-ing cares?

[Songcraft]

Yes.
