Re: Old Stars/Olber's Paradox

[Jim Green <Jim.Green@Snow.edu>]

Ah, David, I did not know that the expansion of "space" was >c.  (Indeed I
am having a hard time internalizing this, but will study your last post
carefully.)  I don't think others in this thread understood this either.
Comments all??

I will now rethink my ideas re Obler's "Paradox" etc and suggest others
review their posts and see if they still stand by them. 

Thanks, David, for your explanations
