Fair enough. Then you're only wrong for believing what is wrong on that website - or is that your website?

In any case, the way you present this in the six different threads you've posted it is so matter-of-fact, its like you're hoping no one will notice that what you are saying is not what is currently known about the structure of the universe: Your idea is fundamentally flawed. Beyond the reasons such as the one I posted why expansion does not and cannot work that way (your proposal is quite simply geometrically flawed), telescopic EVIDENCE also says it does not work that way. For example, there would be no cosmological redshift with your proposal. Also, objects observed at great distances would look different as the scale changes.

Your last paragrah also indicates that you don't understand the geometry of such an expansion. Plug 2^100 into a calculator and see what you get - maybe that will help you understand the effects of scale.

More later - I have to go somewhere.
