That's a good article. I've often wondered about this very same problem, that of the misconceptions in modern literature about the expansion of space.

For sheer dark humor
that is the funniest sig I have seen for a long time

I believe what one says in these situations is LOL

However someone else at this board had a very good sig
recently which was an original adaptation of the famous
saying of Isaac Newton about why he believed he had seen
further than the rest of us. I will get it and be back.

Yeah, the Tammy Davis paper is pretty good. It will be useful
to a lot of people (not just for getting her her PhD)

this other sig I was remembering is by someone named holly
