If the Universe is expanding, I am assuming everything within it must also be 
expanding. How are the Strong and Weak nuclear forces; having very short 
effective distances; going to cope with these ever increasing spaces between 
the subatomic particles? Is all matter going to fall apart before the Big 
Crunch/Heat Death? I know I am assuming a lot here.
