Does it occur to you that expansion doesn't have a direction like 
eastward or upward?

Take the dot on the expanding plate (3475,12377), with you John sitting 
right there. From your perspective, the dot at (3476,12377) is moving to 
the right. The dot at (3474,12377) is moving to the left. The dot at 
(3475,12376) is moving downward. (x axis is left-right, y-axis is 
up-down.) So which direction is the expansion, John?

Now, there's a guy Ben that's sitting at (3476,12377). From Ben's 
perspective, the dot at (3475,12377) -- the point you're sitting on -- 
is moving to the left. The dot at (3477,12377) is moving to the right. 
The dot at (3476,12376) is moving downward. Again, everything is moving 
outward. Naturally, you John and Ben are receding from each other.

You might ask, who is right? You who says (3475,12377) is still and 
(3476,12377) is moving to the right? Or Ben who says (3476,12377) is 
still and (3475,12377) is moving to the left? The answer is yes. Both 
are right. It's just a matter of where you're sitting. But BOTH you and 
Ben agree that the plate is expanding uniformly.
