Wait a minute! The Big Bang was based upon an observation (many actually)? Then how can it be fabricated?

Actually, the Premeival fireball idea did come from Hubble's work, but it wasn't until the CMB was discovered in 1965 that the Big Bang really took hold as the favored theory. If you'll recall there was also the Steady State cosmology.

The expansion of the light waves by an intrinsic repulsion is the most logical conclusion.
The "expansion of light waves" concept would need to be put on firm mathematical grounds consistent with known physics and then shown to be consistent with the observations before it could be considered a "logical" conclusion.

This conclusion answers four questions.

1 - It makes us appear to be in the center of the Universe.
Einstein's relativity allows for that reference frame so I'm not sure what the problem is.

2 - It explains the 'Olbers parradox' adaquately.
3 - It explains Arp's redshift anomoly.
4 - It explains the 'dark energy' problem.
Can you explain how?
