Everything stayed in the same place but the space between them got massive.

I know

watch this, it is only 3 minutes long and does a good job of explaining it, which in turn explains why the universe isnt significantly smaller or massively bigger. This particular universe we are in anyway.

I cant think of a better way to describe this other than

Flaming Farting lake..........a frivolous title for an interesting phenomenom which is directly related to methane and global warming.

Ebola vaccine successfully tested in UK

This is pretty interesting. They re-engineered a cold virus to produce one of the proteins expressed by Ebola. They use this to stimulate an immune response to the protein which the vaccine did.

The vaccine is based on a chimpanzee cold virus, called adenovirus 3 (ChAd3), that’s been engineered to produce a viral protein specific to the Zaire Ebolavirus strain from the ongoing outbreak in West Africa. Ideally, it would trick the human immune system into making antibodies to fight this particular strain. A second vaccine against both the Zaire and Sudan strains is also being tested in people.
