Well, that’s a tall order.

Naturally, I am of the opinion that the the DEILE is best poised to fill that order, but so far, no one seems to understand what I am saying. As suggested, what’s needed is a paradigm-shift.

In the BB paradigm, space either expands or contacts; in the DEILE paradigm, it does both. In the BB paradigm, the question is: what did cause the expansion? In the DEILE paradigm, the question is: what is causing it?

If you accept the duality—that the universe is both expanding and contracting—and think in present-tense rather than past-tense, then everything falls into place.

Look at the observations another way, and they all add up.
