Maybe not at first - but then, when he did come around and embrace the

from us, the faster away from us they appeared to go.


So he interpreted his observations of those faraway galaxies to mean
that the Universe indeed *must* be expanding. *And it was never
questioned that those faraway galaxies' behaviors had taken place
billions of years ago, that there was no way of telling what those
galaxies were doing right now, that it was the height of human hubris
to glean from those observations that the Universe is expanding NOW.


This is what is known as the 'Hairy Eyeball At The Edge Of The Universe'
theory. *Is says that even tho there is absolutely ZERO physics that
would support this (Painus' gay theory), there may actually be a hairy
eyeball staring at us from the edge of the universe.
The problem is that it will take billions of years of observation to
spot it. Ipso facto, the universe may NOT be expanding, but it will take
billions of years and a new set of physics to see this and resolve it's
conflicts with current theory and observation.

Allow me to sum up... Painus has his head so far up his ass he can chew
his food twice. Once on the way in and once on the way out.



All was pointing out was that Hubble himself did not advocate the
Hubble expansion of space.
