Excellent. Thanks. For years on end I have thought all this cosmological orthodoxy was contradictory nonsense. In particular the cosmic distance scale makes no sense to me. I tried to print the Halton Arp paper but it would not let me without paying a fee. Do you know where I can find that paper and print off a copy? The expanding universe theory never made sense to me. Let alone the Big Bang. The red shift thing seems to contradict the idea that light speed is constant. The idea that you can figure out the cosmic distance scale from star types seems dodgy to me at best. I am happy to accept trigonometric parallax but nothing more than that seems safe. Assumptions and speculation pretending to be fact. I hate it. My students are taught that absolutely everything is a theory that is probably wrong. Anyway, for me most of so called modern science is just humbug used to support some money making, status making, enterprise or other. That was why I left the world of universities and chose - as far as I could - to think for myself.
