it feels good to read something that is not centred around the middle east occasionaly,<br>i for one have always thought our ideas of the size of space and the constants, and dark matter and the big bang were ridiculous,<br>here may be some evidence in support,<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://space.com/scienceastronomy/060807_mm_huble_revise.html">space.com/scienceastronom...evise.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"A project aiming to create an easier way to measure cosmic distances has instead turned up surprising evidence that our large and ancient universe might be even bigger and older than previously thought.<br><br>If accurate, the finding would be difficult to mesh with current thinking about how the universe evolved, one scientist said.<br><br>A research team led by Alceste Bonanos at the Carnegie Institution of Washington has found that the Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M33, is about 15 percent farther away from our own Milky Way than previously calculated.<br><br>The finding, which will be detailed in an upcoming issue of Astrophysical Journal, suggests that the Hubble constant, a number that measures the expansion rate and age of the universe, is actually 15 percent smaller than other studies have found." <p></p><i></i>

Smithtalk: you're right. Your thread was here last night. I remember because I was chuckling about the self-deprecating tone of one of your posts.<br><br>So I'll vouch for you if they come for you. <p></p><i></i>
