From Wikipedia...

"Georges Henri Joseph douard Lema tre (17 July 1894 20 June 1966)
was a Belgian priest, astronomer and professor of physics at the
Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium). He was the first person to
propose the theory of the expansion of the Universe, widely
misattributed to Edwin Hubble.

Yes, Hubble would have nothing to do with such nonsense!

Maybe not at first - but then, when he did come around and embrace the
proposal, Hubble gave it scientific credibility. He looked out and
saw faraway galaxies that seemed to be rushing away from us at
tremendous speeds. He noted that the farther away those galaxies were
from us, the faster away from us they appeared to go.

Hubble never "came around".

"Hubble believed that his count data gave a more reasonable result
concerning spatial curvature if the redshift correction was made
assuming no recession. To the very end of his writings he maintained
this position, favouring (or at the very least keeping open) the model
where no true expansion exists, and therefore that the redshift
"represents a hitherto unrecognized principle of nature."[23]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble

Good catch, AA! So I guess I'm guilty of doing what most people have
done? I have endowed Hubble with a discovery and belief that he did
not make nor possess. Maybe like everybody else, I don't particularly
care for his idea that the redshift represents an unrecognized
principle of Nature?

Truth is... I think he was right about that last part.

You seem to think that the "tired light" idea, which has been
thoroughly trounced, should be given another look-see? Why is that?

Change a few assumtions, and it may not seem so trounced.

Have you looked into the work of Halton Arp, who was once an assistant
to Hubble? *He has carried on some of Hubbles original theories and
challenged the Big Bank concept.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Arp

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.

Astronomers don't have any trouble with the thought that we see our
own star, the Sun, as it was about eight minutes ago, because the Sun
is about 8 light minutes away. They have no problem with the fact
that if the star Sirius were to blow up today, we wouldn't know about
it until about 8.6 years from now, because Sirius is 8.6 light years
away. So why do they have so much trouble with the thought that if a
galaxy is racing away from us, that may have been what it WAS doing
billions of years ago? How can they take that observation and
conclude that the Universe is expanding NOW???

They take measurements of the relative speeds of closer galaxies and
extrapolate. Actually, if closer galaxies seem to be moving apart
disproportionately faster than more distant galaxies, where they know
they are looking further back in time, they conclude there has been
acceleration!

Double-A

Almost, but not quite, AA. The conclusion is not that "there *has
been* acceleration", no. The conclusion is that there *IS*
acceleration of the NOW expanding Universe. I have not been able to
reconcile that conclusion with reality. How can a presently expanding
Universe be concluded by observing galaxies that are billions of light
years away, the light we observe having left those galaxies billions
of years ago?

Because the galaxies we see billions of years ago appear to me moving
apart slower than the closer up one we see. *Thus the conclusion that
acceleration has occured.

Well, maybe, but not NOW. *That's my point. *Where is the logic in
thinking that the Universe is expanding NOW and that the expansion is
accelerating NOW?

Pick all that inference out of a 10-billion-year-old box!


Well it's not even my theory, so I'm not going to try to explain it
further.

Painius, there is no way of telling what's happening NOW, because
velocity and acceleration happen over time. NOW is an instant that
has no time. Acceleration could have stopped yeasterday and we would
have not way of knowing it. We can only go by what has been happening
over longer periods of time.

That's my point. And yet astronomers continue to say that the
Universe "is" expanding, and that the Universe's expansion "is"
accelerating. It's a hoot and a crock, isn't it?

I really hate to fight with you all the time, but you are WRONG all the
time. Your foolish argument here is a perfect example. To have it your
way would involve a completely new set of physical laws for the
universe. Question: Do you have any basis for inventing a new set of
laws for the universe?


I didn't think so.

Excellent. You have nothing, NO-THING to refute my argument, so you bash
me. No longer will you be allowed to just make **** up without
evidence, so get used to it.

Not bashing you, Harlow - no - of course not. I'm your friend - I'm

Sound familiar? It's right out of your repertoire.

I'll make **** up without evidence anytime I want to when I feel like
making speculations about science, twerp!

And bottom line? There's nothing you can do about it. (Except, well
maybe you could pull the stick outta your arse.)

LMFAO !

It's the "love" of a rapist or a stalker.

Or a pimply adolescent who hasn't got his hormones under control yet
and can't understand why the object of his or her affections isn't
interested but imposes him- or herself where he or she is neither
wanted nor needed.

OK. Sorry...It must have been the drugs.

Something, anyway.
Pain-in-arse has no friends because of his arrogant, in-your-face

Since my area of expertise is astrophysics, I would say that EVERYTHING
that exists is 'what I know'.

In matters of the paranormal and religion, I bow to your superior knowledge.

You probably should be put on suicide watch!

It's true...You DO have vastly superior knowledge about god and the
