Universe May Be Bigger and Older
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...adlines-nation
watch word wrap "Astronomers Say Universe May Be Bigger and Older By John Johnson Jr., Times Staff Writer August 5, 2006 New findings from an Ohio State University team of astronomers are raising the possibility that the universe is larger than previously thought. Using new measurement methods, the team found that the Triangulum Galaxy is 3 million light-years away, not the 2.6 million that had been accepted in the past. If the method proves reliable for other distant objects, the results could force a readjustment of one of the building blocks of modern cosmology: the Hubble constant..." |

Universe May Be Bigger and Older
The foreground rotation of the solar system around the galactic axis
can look like acceleration to those who do not recognise the greater cycle that the Earth participates in .The problem with celestial sphere observing is that the inability to grasp and use foreground rotation and hinge everything on axial orientation of the Earth is that you get a celestial sphere every-valid-point-is-the -center-of-a-rotating-universe and not an expanding one.It looks like this ridiculous affair - http://www.opencourse.info/astronomy...phere_anim.gif I am prepared to allow people to genuinely make an attempt to call a halt as quickely as possible to this nonsense of people who are genuinely losing the run of themselves.It is back at the original Newtonian mutation which created the AU by using the celestial sphere as a gauge for axial rotation. Understand that this situation supersedes any contemporary event by many degrees of magnitude in terms of importance for it represents a particular intellectual and intuitive nadir that has been reached Klaatu wrote: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...adlines-nation watch word wrap "Astronomers Say Universe May Be Bigger and Older By John Johnson Jr., Times Staff Writer August 5, 2006 New findings from an Ohio State University team of astronomers are raising the possibility that the universe is larger than previously thought.
