Get Ready for the Big Bang

According to Wednesday's New York Times, the meatball universe is expanding. It reminds me of that scene in Annie Hall, where Alvy Singer's mother says to young Alvy (and I'm paraphrasing here, of course), "What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brookline! Brookline is not expanding!" Still, I'm a bit worried about a meatball universe expanding. That just can't be good.
