[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm going to look up and read your links. I've always said to FReeper don-o (my husband) that "the next thing to go" (the next huge scientific concept to bite the dust) is going to be the set of cosmological assumptions currently claimed for the red-shift.

Just a dumb guess on my part, I'll be the first to admit.

But it would tickle me to think maybe, maybe, maybe I'm right!

You are right. Start doing google searches on 'Halton Arp'.

The guy started turning up examples of combinations of very high and very low redshift objects which were clearly connected and part and parcel of the same things (meaning that the standard interpretation of redshift to mean expansion is garbage) and for that he was given the heave-ho out of American observatories and then was picked up by the Max Planck Institute, sort of like the fairytale of the ugly duckling which turned out to be a swan...
