So expansion was not propelled by anything like an explosion? It's all inflation of space? How about now -- are galaxies "moving" away from each other with velocity, or is it that more space is being created between us? And how in the hell do we tell the difference?

the observable universe extends about 47 billion light years in each direction, due to the metric expansion of space. This is basic cosmology.

That's mighty obscure information to get all condescending about. The division of Korea was created in 1945 when junior US and Soviet officers picked a line on a map to define their occupation zones. This is basic history, didnja know?.

Nerd slugfest.
