Just out of curiosity, have you read Dr. Humphreys book entitled “Starlight and Time.”

No.

...and all the rebuttals, and all his rebuttals to the rebuttals, and have concluded that his book can stand on its own two feet...

I am an acknowledged layman in physics and astronomy, and have only a B.S. in mathematics. My sense is that I'm not the best person to evaluate an apparent radical departure from current astrophysical models. Even if he is right on the money, and I take the time to verify and convince myself of this, I'm not sure what weight that would carry.

Even so, being a curious sort of person, I *might* take a look at it. Currently I'm reading some classical C.S. Lewis, specifically "The Abolition of Man".

Have you gotten to his SF 'Perelanda' trilogy, especially the final book, 'That Hideous Strength' -- very powerful condemnation of over-industrialized modern society with it's loss of traditional moral values.

Excellent book. I refer to it often and re-read it every couple of years.

Here’s a short video on “Starlight and Time” presented by the author...and a short piece on the rubuttles and the rebuttles to the rebuttles I was talking about, in case you’re interested—GGG
