Guess the force is with us?.
I am a 69 year old fitness trainer with a resting heart rate in the athletic range and perfect blood pressure. However, without exception when I go for a check up both figures are elevated to the level of a deconditioned female in my age range. I always insist that the tech retake the tests. Somehow, magically, they are accurate the second time around.
Sorry, I think I posted the above to the wrong thread
I definitely have “White Coat Syndrome” whenever I go to the doctor and they take my BP.
While somewhat intellectually interesting, how fast the universe is expanding (or not) is meaningless. I’m alive and having a great time of it. Otherwise, who cares?
G-d works in mysterious ways!
Hire a raft of lawyers and file a class action suit. That will slow the universe down to a near-stop.
Gives the astronomers something to do. Make work project.
Good. Put demonrats on those drones and send them out there.
Crisis!!! Universal Expansion is out of control!! Damn those SUVs.
The heavens show forth the glory of God. Scientists keep trying to set a limit on the size of the universe, as if to limit God’s glory. Can’t be done.

The study found that the Coma cluster is approximately 98.5 million light-years away, with a margin of error of about 2.2 million light-years. This measurement conflicts significantly with predictions based on cosmic microwave background observations, which suggest the cluster should be about 111.8 million light-years away.
So which is it:
1) 320 million light-years distant:
2) 93.5 million light-years distant:
3) 111.8 million light-years distant?
Very confusing.
You posted facts in most humourous way and got a big chuckle out of me. I will be 85 in 3 months. My resting heart rate is 66. Because I may skip meals but never skip 20 minutes of aerobic exercise everyday supplemented by yard work. I can still mow my suburban size lawn with a push mower. I am intolerant to sodium. As soon as I cook from scratch a few days, my BP drops to 120/80. Restaurant meals & prepared frozen foods jack it up to 145/90. One more thing, I can tell when BP is high or blood sugar is high. Body gives plenty signals, we just have to pay attention.
So, it proves one thing: your models are wrong.

I saw him do Willy The Pimp live with Frank.

It has been my theory that the Universe’s expansion is not linear nor equal in all directions.
The closer you get to the Big Bang, the slower it was as we observe it, due to Time Dilation.
As the outer edges of the Universe get farther away from that point, the force of Gravity holding it back gets weaker, so the expansion gets faster or at least appears to be.
Seems rather simple................
Liberals will order the universe to slow down to fit the models.
No, it means your understanding of science (and the scientific method) is crap (no shooting).
