but we are shrinking??

If the univarse doesn't expand explain your mothers waistline

Mind is blown OP. Let me search Google for more info

We might be past the event horizon, and falling towards the singularity, for example. The universe would look exactly the same, indistinguishable.

we might be a singularity and space is an illusion. black holes are the default state of the universe

Same shit.
But we are not shrinking, we are "thinning"

What makes you believe that an already infinite thing is expanding?

Since universe is infinite in 3 dimensions, then it is according to math of cardinality continuum, so if the cardinality stays the same, maybe universe is only remapping it's "points" (monads in Leibniz terminology) to other points, but movement and all kind of changes in universe are changing placement/remapping of monads, so the expansion of universe in that sense is only specific kind of remapping of monads.

what makes you think that universe is infinite only in 3 dimensions?

I doesn't matter if it is 3 dimensions or hundred, as far as I remember the cardinality would change if we had like infinitely many dimensions as well (although my memory might be flawed). And I haven't heard about any sensical infitely many dimensions physics theory (but that's probably because I am not physicist). If the universe is just moving points, objects that are being morphed in category theory, then the notion of resizing of universe only means remapping points

well, time is a dimension, so there's at least 4

Fuck off, Langan. You're a pseud.

What if we're actually evaporating and that's where dark energy comes from?

Gravity overpowers the expansion of they universe at small distances, but over large intergalactic distanced the expansion of the universe wins out.
