Later that day, the mouse heard the lion whining and discovered it with a thorn stuck in its paw. The mouse offered to help.
No, said the lion, don't touch my paw. The mouse removed the thorn anyway. The lion sulked away, muttering "stole my thorn."

It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

13.06.2025 02:13 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0What I mean is that we describe spacetime as a 4D manifold with an expanding scale factor, not as a 3D surface expanding into a 4-dimensional space whose 4th dimension we canโt move through. Thatโs where the balloon analogy stops working for me.

13.06.2025 00:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I think it takes the balloon analogy a bit too far. Generally we donโt think of the universe as having a center, or the Big Bang as having a single location: as cosmology describes it, the Big Bang happened everywhere. Spacetime is expanding not into some higher dimensional space but within itself.
