I have measured for framing up walls before,
and the numbers just didn’t add up...

Space expanding into space? I should’ve been a biologist.

Measure once, cut twice! Wait! Strike that.

Trump’s Fault....

This stuff makes my eyes glaze over. To quote Hillary:

“What difference, at this point, does it make?” >> to anyone ever, in the further history of humanity?

Debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin at least makes some sense.

To observe the expansion of the Universe astronomers used the standard candle of a certain type of Supernova. By seeing how bright it was they could calculate how far away it was. There is a problem,  however. As you look further away into the universe you are also looking back in time. If the universe was once a point that expanded it would be a smaller universe the further back you looked. However looking at something 2 billion light years away looks like it is on a sphere 2 billion light years in radius and looking back 4 billion years a sphere of 4 billion years in radius.

The further back you look the bigger the Universe seems when it is actually getting smaller the further back you look!

This not only magnifies objects the further back you look but makes them dimmer as well...giving the illusion they are further away than they are! Your standard candles become dimmer over time as a result making the universe look like it is expanding at a growing rate the further back you look!.

All this conjecture  about an accelerating expansion is built on a faulty foundation!

When it comes to big bang, it’s a bunch of BS. Can you imagine the force it would take to expand the universe as we now know it? We can monitor star systems over a billion light years away. There is no way in my opinion that one blast did that. OTOH, we can not understand infinity either, we can’t even explain why gravity even exist yet we know that it does.

Quite frankly, several decades ago, when I was still in my 60s, I began to find that playing 27-36 holes of golf was becoming, physically, more and more difficult...

With this very fine paper, I can now understand more clearly why it appeared that my stamina was failing...

Clearly, taking this, now, best value for the Hubble tension into account, each yard of our golf courses may have looked the same, but they were actually relatively longer and longer...

I just wish that I could have included this amazing result in one or more of my Phys Rev publications...

I see the problem in their calcs. It's right there, plain as day. They hired the California High Speed Rail design team...and nothing lines up.

[chickenlips]

Finally answers! I lie awake at night agonizing over this.

You know what else doesn’t add up? Why this matters to anyone on the face of the earth and who is paying for this “research”?

[jacknhoo]

I think maybe they’re not compensating for the fractal incurvate.

Does it matter?

"Scientists Just Measured How Fast The Universe Is Expanding. The Answer Doesn’t Add Up.

[odawg]

I will now ask the question I asked my seventh grade teacher when she told us the universe was expanding: Exactly what is it expanding into?

I don’t want to hear anything about expanding cakes or crabs walking on the beach.

[maddog55]

The more we know the more don’t know.... The big bang is theory to begin with because no one knows how the universe began.

[GreenHornet]

By linking a dozen different cosmic distance measurement methods into a single “Distance Network,” they confirmed the universe is currently expanding at about 73.5 kilometers per second per 3.26 million light-years.

I came up with 70.3 kilometers per 3.26 million light years. Man, I was way off!

Our universe is on a slide on a microscope and we are expanding until the alien scientist puts the slide on a window sill and we start to contract...
