welcome to the New Scientist newsletter, which this

>expansion of the universe, the vibrating clothes that help sports
>stars hone their skills, and the pill-sized camera that crawls
>through your intestine...

>EDITOR'S CHOICE:
>EXPANDING PROBLEM
>Is your waistline spreading? Unfortunately you can no longer use the
>expansion of the universe as an excuse. While some things, such as
>clusters of galaxies, are known to stretch as the universe expands,
>physicists assumed that others, such as people, do not. But until
>now no one was sure why. It turns out that as long as the force -
>electromagnetic or gravitational - holding objects together exceeds
>a certain critical value, the expansion of the universe has no
>effect on them. This means that while you can't blame your bulging
>waistline on an expanding universe, at least we're not all about to
>be pulled apart...
