| Apr 23, 2016 at 15:19 | comment | added | uhoh | Wish I could up-vote your answer more. The PRL you link to was incredibly helpful!! It's exactly what I needed to get started. Thanks for finding it, and for being patient with me while I start to wrap my head around it. | |

| Apr 21, 2016 at 15:17 | comment | added | uhoh | Can you show some math, or better yet, an example of an experiment that was "sensitive enough to detect that" and didn't? Or did for that matter? Serious, peer-reviewed and published experimental results? That would be very helpful but I don't think it's been done. | |
| Apr 21, 2016 at 15:14 | comment | added | PhillS | I am talking about 'space itself'. If space is expanding on the scale of our solar system, it changes the distance between bodies, and measurements are sensitive enough to be able to detect that. The stuff about matter is merely an vague explanation of the experimental result for those who might be curious about why cosmological expansion doesn't apply at the solar system level. | |
| Apr 21, 2016 at 15:07 | comment | added | uhoh | OK but I am not asking a question about the distribution of matter, and I've edited the question to make it even clearer. And yet your answer also immediately jumps to a discussion about distribution of matter. Can you address just the space itself? | |
