This is basically "The Case Against Cosmology" part 2. Mike Disney is a distinguished astronomer with a long history of being deliberately provocative, which sometimes has the salutory effect of making the rest of us ask very carefully how well we know what we think we know.

(This was also exhibited when a controversy came up about the dustiness of spiral galaxies - he coauthored a paper pointing out that data often interpreted as showing that spirals like ours are fairly transparent could also be interpreted as meaning they're so dusty that we don't see very deep into some of them at all. It took a whole new round of multiwavelength observations and analysis to satisfy pretty much everybody that we now understand when and where they're in one limit or the other. At least in today's Universe. Then he helped organize a meeting on the topic, at which he presented some of us with plates of a dish he swore was crow.)[1]







[1] For non-Anglophones: "eat crow" is a phrase meaning, more or less, to publicly admit to one's having been wrong. This is the only time I've seen it used so literally.
