What part is incorrect? That there is a desire and need for an observable beginning? That I said it "might", in other words, could potentially have come into play? I don't think you know that this has not happened. How can yo

I find this to be the crux of the issue. To be exempt from the rules that material things must follow, you simply need to designate it as space. If space is what fills an area between object A and object B and that space grows or expands. T

I'll be up front about this. I'm in way over my head in this discussion, but in my mind, still, not all interactions are with particles. There are fields such as gravity, that affect wavelength. And what about particles we do see?

Great advice, Thanks!

Violating the cosmic speed limit is not only not a "perfect model" it's an atrocious model. Wouldn't you agree? It's a model that incorporates hard contradictions to itself. You are saying I'm a lay person? You

I don't doubt that the "tired light" theory has been slain. I can update my orientation from your informed response without hesitation. However, I don't think I'm truly talking about the "tired light" theo

I worded my reply poorly. I mean to say, Your notion or model of the universe is all downstream of assumptions that redshift can only be related to the Doppler effect (apparently there are a couple types of Doppler effect as the article men

Thank you for the link. I will be checking that out.

Your argument is not that effective for any who do not see evidence of a big bang. Steady state seems unlikely, perhaps a crude starting point, but it was closer to a model of the universe with sources and sinks, which are abundant and are

I'm not putting forth any "conspiracy theory". You should know that human preference can cause people to act individually and independently in ways that conform to that preference. This is not conspiracy, it is confirmation b

I've been a part of a subculture that lied to me, something not related to physics or STEM, but after years of drinking the koolaid I finally learned the emptiness of what the community of 'experts' were saying and what so ma

This is all downstream of assumptions that redshift is a certain kind of doppler effect. Redshift could actually be something other than that, and space from outta nowhere feels like just wishful thinking to me. And why is that space gettin

This explains why there is no "epicenter to speak of", but why is that expansion faster than the speed of light? How could it be? And is the evidence for that expansion really that solid?

Apologies for that. Good point. Probably deserves an edit

That would be much appreciated. I'm interested in learning even if it takes me away from things that seem intuitive. So as I've mentioned in my article, light from more distant objects could be shifted red, not by a dopplar effect

After seeing more results and news coming from the JWST, it felt like time to pull the trigger on this article. I probably should've dug into Professor Sean Carol's list of evidence for the prevailing interpretation of redshift co

Looking for input and feedback on this. I'm understanding the lack of vocal public responses on HN to be rooted in the threat of career jeopardy and the risk of employer retaliation. Am I right? Or is there some other reason people car

If there isn't a top down effort, it will be a sluggish, "I'll get to when I feel like it" approach to dealing with existential threats to the human race. We have to come to terms with the fact that utopian dreams must b

That book looks quite fascinating but it advocates change through each individual (within a class of engineers), therefore it is not placing the urgency that is needed right now for change in our society, banking instead on long-term change

If we all act in our own self interest, that should seem to include taking care of our host planet. But what I see and call out in this Ethics and Software Manifesto is that, in the aggregate, the giant organism of all humans acting togethe
