Expansion

What if our conceptualization of the shape in which the universe expands is entirely wrong?

Hym "Ok, so everybody has probably seen the picture of the expansion of the universe as it relates to the big bang, right? If not, look it up quick. It's like a Kamehameha of spacetime. But WHAT IF... There is a 4th dimension... Right? Now, I know that's not profound or original... YET! Ok!? I'm getting to that part! Stay with me! So, imagine the way in which this 4th dimension exists... Allows for every point in the universe... To be considered the edge of the universe... So, when a star collapses... And creates a black hole... It's like a hole in a balloon... So the contents of the universe are spilling out into the not-universe... Even though it doesn't look like the black hole is at the edge... And the REASON... that smaller stars don't create black holes... Is that they don't generate enough force to pop the balloon... And you could say "Well, we've seen 2 black holes collide so how could 2 balloon holes interact with eachother in that way" and there the balloon analogy breaks down.... But I think it's and interesting concept. That the universe is both expanding and deflating at the same time and as stars collapse and turn into black holes... Eventually, there will be a tipping point where the rate of deflation supersedes the rate of expansion and begins to collapse back in on itself... It's kind of like oscillating universe theory except I have a 4th dimension that does whatever I need it to do to allow for oscillating universe..."

Expansionary Thermodynamics

A theoretical framework that extends classical thermodynamics to account for energy behavior at cosmic scales, where Noether's theorem—energy conservation as a consequence of time-translation symmetry—breaks down because the universe is expanding. In an expanding spacetime, energy is not globally conserved; photons redshift, losing energy, and dark energy appears to increase. Expansionary thermodynamics also explains why living systems (metabolic, far-from-equilibrium) seem to violate conservation: they are open systems exchanging energy with their environment, not isolated. It reframes energy "conservation" as a local, approximate principle valid only in stationary contexts. At cosmic and biological scales, energy flows, transforms, and even appears to appear or disappear—not because physics breaks, but because the rules themselves depend on the context of expansion.

Example: "The cosmologist's data showed the universe's total energy seemed to increase over time—a paradox until expansionary thermodynamics explained that in an expanding spacetime, energy conservation doesn't hold. The rules change when space itself stretches."

extension

Standing for "extended version", this is like "unrated version" — just a lot less misleading. Like the "unrated version", the "extension" of a movie is typically 5~10 minutes longer than the theatrical cut.

I watched the extension of that movie last night, and while it had some extra scenes, it wasn't nearly as misleading as the 'unrated version' claims to be.

wiener extension

an erect penis; i.e., the extending of the penis during peak arousal

She was hot. Really hot. So hot that I instantly got a wiener extension.

In order to have sex, you must first have a wiener extension.

border expansion

Holding in a poo until, the literal border of your rectum expands. This is pre-Prairiedogging

I've got to go, I'm facing a literal border expansion here.

Bum extensions

When your in the shower and your hair falls down your butt crack.

Life Expansion

The human as a biological animal is being challenged by emerging technologies that could extend human life outside of the its biological body and toward a semi-biological and non-biological existence through advances in artificial general intelligence (AGI), robotics, and artificial environments that could provide platforms for uploading and crossloading.

When technology advances to where the human brain can be copied and transferred onto computational systems, a person's life could be expanded beyond biology and the limitations of biology to provide Life Expansion for humanity.
