if the universe is expanding, are we expanding as well?

Question

Since the big bang, the universe is expanding, it doesn’t mean new space is being inhabited that was previously empty, its the existing space spreading out. How measurable is this on the human scale (meaning human dimensions and human timeline)?

Answer 1

Hall space is getting bigger and that doesn’t include the space that we occupy.

However, the bonding forces between our atoms is what ultimately determines how big we are, because it determines the distance between all our molecules.

So we are staying the same size, and basically we are occupying and ever increasingly small percentage of the universe.
