Radiolab proved it today

An argument I just had to have with a coworker when she mentioned she didn't know if we were moving closer to the sun.  

bab: "Well the universe is expanding, so probably not."

coworkie: "That's not actually true.  There are people who believe that, but there's other people who don't."

me again: "Wha??  They can show that things are moving away from each other by the light waves."

doofy: "We're not the center of the universe you know."

starting to lose it: "I know.  Well I'm in the expansion camp.  But I don't know enough about physics to prove it to you."

the bitch is, I'll dwell on this for a week.
