That's what I thought. Stephen, the point on
which you may be confused is this: In the infinite
case, an expanding universe doesn't actually mean
the universe is getting bigger, just that everything's
moving farther apart.
If you want to know how that can happen without the
universe getting bigger, someone's holding an impromptu
seminar on it down at the Hilbert Hotel. All the
conference rooms are booked, but management says
that won't be a problem....
