The whole universe is expanding, but as your ruler is expanding at the same rate, it is very difficult to measure! Of course, the earth's expansion is geological, rather than cosmic, I believe, but my geology is 20 years out of date now! |

No no no! The earth is expanding, so the sea level rise will have less effect! Gawd 'elp us, is Friday and I'm drinking already, and I'm keeping up, do try harder!!!
