Update to the BALLOON ANALOGY web page

[phinds]

I have updated my web page on the balloon analogy by going carefully through all of the comments in the original thread and I THINK I have managed to eliminate all of the problems that the first one had by incorporating suggested changes (thanks everyone), although NOT all of the suggested additions/expansions because, as I now say on the page:

"There are many other aspects of cosmology that can get drawn into discussions of the balloon analogy, but I have for the most part resisted discussing any that are not immediately relevant to the anaolgy, lest I get carpal tunnel syndrome while having this page turn into a textbook on cosmology (which I am not qualified to write anyway)"

the updated page is at:

Perfect. Thanks for this Phinds. Maybe this can get stickied?

I agree with the statement that if dark matter and dark energy had been given different names, much confusion could have been avoided. I also wish that Fred Hoyle never gave the name 'big bang theory' to the cosmological model.
