Default Time relative to the observer

Hi Snowflake,
Thanx for your reply,without guile or arrogance,much
appreciate.Am somewhat in contention with your evaluation of what
amounts to perception in our understanding of expansion,you mentioned
the balloon idea,don't accept that for a minute,feel you don't either.
Searches for 'dark matter' have come up zilch after 30 years.
My reasoning is,we have to look at things in a different way.Spent almost
a year,trying to get respected astronomers to visualise the light we see
from a pulsar is not a 'searchlight beam' traversing the heavens,but is
a spiral to the independent observer.
On the subject of expansion,expanding into what?Comes to mind,
if the 'what' is an attractor,and we have no knowledge of it,how can we
be so certain our description of expansion is correct.I know we can only
relate to science as we grasp it,and formulate our theories relating to our
current understanding of science.
Much enjoy your posts Snowflake,reasoned,erudite,persuasive.
Look forward to more.
