If the Universe is infinite and keeps expanding. What is it expanding into?

 

This has hurt my brain since someone asked me over the weekend!?

Has anyone ever used the phrase "I'm entitled to my opinion" and not come across as being a bit mental/out of order?

[Rincewind]

Cant remember using it  myself but it would sound pompus/bossy sort of.Depending on the tone as would 'You are entitled to your opinion but....'

So if it's not expanding and just "stretching" then there must be an edge?

It's a very difficult concept to explain, and I'm certain leicsmac can make a better job of it than I.

In the meantime this link is perhaps easier to understand than the last one:

I can thoroughly recommend reading 'A Brief History Of Time', by Stephen Hawkins, if this kind of thing interests you.

All you need to know is it's flat, not infinite, and when it's finished expanding in a few years it will roll itself up like a scroll does and then a new universe will unravel and begin again. That's the cycle.

 

Whatever you do on your universal truth exploration, don't let the multiverse people bog you down in unfalsifiable wishful thinking. All they're trying to do is take away the need to explain the beginning.

So you're saying they're edges to the universe?

Receiving phone calls abroad has a charge attached to it - if I'm set to airplane mode while abroad, do any phone calls just hit voicemail straight away, and do you get charged for that like receiving calls?

[Jattdogg]

Here is a good one. Outside of shaving your arse brazilian wax bikini wise how do you stop toilet paper mini balls from getting stuck in your arse fluff when wiping your dirty bum?

Using a biday or the indian style of used Pepsi bottle filled with water are known techniques to remove said paper mini balls post wipe. The only other thing i can make sense of is wet wipes or one time usage wash arse clothes.

Its friday. Im bored.

Is it a bad thing to work nightshifts?

[Soar Fox]

Is it a bad thing to work nightshifts?

A lot of people don't like them but I really enjoy nights. Maybe thats because I'm not very busy on night shifts, I also get my best sleep working nights.

I've asked a few times to work permanent nights but my gaffer won't let me.
