Re: Expanding Universe???

Well, I suppose the first question that a proponent of this interesting
hypothesis would have to answer for me is:  "If the universe is not
expanding, then how are the galaxies being red-shifted?"  Doppler effect
is an indicator of relative motion, n'est-ce pas?

Best wishes,

Larry
