When my conceptual astro. course gets to the obligatory last couple of

very little cosmology (and believe very little of what I know!)

How far is the U of Adelaide from where you work, I wonder?
Paul Davies's handsome and popular compilation, "The New Physics"
sets out to address some of the questions you pose. In particular,
Chapter six talks of red shift...
How about finagling a signed copy from him and have him
address your question directly?
