--- Quote from: sitnspin on 30 Apr 2016, 12:42 ---There is no outside the universe. The universe is literally everything.

Then what is the expanding universe expanding into?

It isn't expanding into anything, it's just getting larger.

That's actually kind of a strange question; the universe contains everything there is, including the space-time we use to define "volume" amongst many other things. We can talk about observable changes in the interior volume but even the concept of it having an exterior volume is contradictory to what we know.

--- Quote from: Storel on 30 Apr 2016, 15:09 ---Straight vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol smells.* :grumpypuss: I don't want a chaser with my vodka, I want a mixer. Preferably something that can hide the taste of the vodka, like orange juice, tomato juice, or cranberry juice.
And don't try to tell me that good vodka has no taste. I am one of the small minority who can taste alcohol... which is probably the reason I never developed a liking for alcohol.

There's actually a craft distillery near me that is making vodka and specifically wants the natural flavors of the wheat they use to come through, so they don't do any charcoal filtering. It ends up creating a smoother vodka than normal, almost a sippable vodka.

Itself. The Universe, by definition, cannot get larger or smaller. Everything in it is merely getting farther apart, though not by moving in the traditional sense. There's just more spacetime between things.
Yeah, we don't really know how this works, but we know that it's happening.
TheEvilDog:
A short explanation from Harvard university regarding the possibility of an edge of the universe:
"Does the Universe have an edge, beyond which there is nothing?
Galaxies extend as far as we can detect... with no sign of diminishing.There is no evidence that the universe has an edge. The part of the universe we can observe from Earth is filled more or less uniformly with galaxies extending in every direction as far as we can see - more than 10 billion light-years, or about 6 billion trillion miles. We know that the galaxies must extend much further than we can see, but we do not know whether the universe is infinite or not. When astronomers sometimes refer (carelessly!) to galaxies "near the edge of the universe," they are referring only to the edge of the OBSERVABLE universe - i.e., the part we can see."
I've highlighted the part that people seem to get caught on.
Regards to the comic, I honestly would not be surprised if Clinton ended up reciting the laws regarding the legal requirements of any business providing alcohol and any soft drinks.
Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Monday's comic features Clinton nursing a black eye.
