I wish BA would send all these guys who say that space is expanding and that the galaxies are not moving to the "against the mainstream" board. That is such a stupid, ridiculous idea and misconception. If space is expanding to explain the red shift, then why does it expand so much more for radio waves than for x rays? A radio wave at z = 1 expands to twice its wavelength which is several meters, but an x-ray at z = 1 only expands a few nanometers. If the red shift is doppler, of course more distant galaxies are moving away faster than more nearby ones.
