Oh god, not this crackpot again.

Dr Mersini-Houghton is certainly not averse to publicity.

Is this the science fiction thread? Cause some poor fool might read this and think it's true.

You are carrying the analogy too far. In the balloon analogy the surface of the balloon is all that exists. There is no interior. Remember that it's an analogy, there is not a correspondence between the balloon and the universe.

Right, no point. Just nonsense.

Is there a point to all this unattributed cut and paste?

This crap has been spammed across several science sites.

Tossed word salad.

The BB is expansion.

For egg laying animals, I would guess that the most dangerous predator might be a small mammal, such as a shrew, which could sneak into dinosaur nests and kill the eggs.

since the whole solar neighborhood (including the sun) orbits the galactic center once every 250 million years. ... Thats the Sun's orbit. http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/159-our-solar-system/the-sun/the-solar-system/236-are-the-planes-of-solar-systems-aligned-with-the-plane-of-the-galaxy-intermediate

Try watching this mythbusters video of two trucks in a headon collision at about 50 mph.

The oscillation is the orbit. There's nothing keeping the sun in the galactic plane. It's orbit is inclined with respect to the plane just as, for example, Venus having an orbital inclination of 3.9 degrees from the ecliptic.

Nothing is needed to hold stars in the galactic plane. If their orbit lies within the plane, that is where they stay, unless there's some force acting upon them.

Bear in mind that dimensions are not other places, but are simply other degrees of freedom of movement. IOW they are directions you can move in.

They're moderators. They have a different tier of privileges.

And password protect it and keep the password a secret.

Once again,you've pushed a LIMITED ANALOGY beyond the point that it's being used to illustrate.

It will also result in greater numbers of people in poverty and starving to death.

I think you are confusing an ANALOGY with theory. The balloon analogy considers the surface of the balloon as a two dimensional representation of the three dimensions of the expanding universe, and is used to illustrate scalar expansion with no center. It is neither a theory or a model.

Sounds like a very Eastern European view, especially the part about becoming farmers in your old age. Back to an agrarian peasant society.

Making the world better one murder at a time.
