I walked over a mile each way to school on city streets when I was well under 14.The universe is constantly expanding; a mile is longer now than back in our day.

The universe is constantly expanding; a mile is longer now than back in our day. We are getting larger too, and our steps are longer. The same mile takes the same number of steps, regardless of the expansion factor.
This is easy to prove if you simply think that the space remains the same, but the ruler gets shorter.

Thank you for that thought. The next time someone comments on my somewhat increased girth, I’ll have to claim that the universe is constantly expanding, hence their observation of me. That’s the ticket!

I never thought of that ;-)
