UV Galaxy Surface brightness says no expansion

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on claims that the universe is not expanding, referencing Eric J. Lerner's paper which argues that redshift measurements and surface brightness observations contradict the expanding universe model. Participants highlight the long-standing anomalous redshift problem, noting that statistical correlations among galaxies with differing redshifts remain unexplained. Some express skepticism about Lerner's findings, emphasizing the need for rigorous analysis and validation against established cosmological models. Others point out that the scientific community often dismisses alternative views without thorough examination, suggesting a need for more observational research on redshift and galaxy distance measurements. The conversation reflects a growing interest in reevaluating foundational cosmological concepts.

I dont' see the point in talking about what happened to photons before the last surface of scattering of CMB photons. They have no effect on CMBR studies, aside from contributing to the power spectrum.
