[QUOTE="Ibix, post: 6867097, member: 365269"] I was still at primary school in 1985 so I can't speak to common beliefs, but I [i]think[/i] Schutz isn't intending to be quite so emphatic as he sounds. I think he's criticising his cheap'n'cheerful derivation of the Hubble Law as being based on kinda-sorta Newtonian thinking. He expands a bit on it in a later paragraph. In the 2nd edition it's just before the section titled "The universe is accelerating!", but I suspect it might be the end of section 2.2 in your edition. It says "...in the attempt to translate the nonrelativistic formula ##v=Hd## into relativistic language, we were forced to re-think the meaning of all the terms in the equations and go back to the quantities we can directly measure."
