Exclamation Issues with my issues?

This is why galaxies spiral inward.
That's debatable for a number of reasons. First, it turns out that spiral galaxies are rarer than it was once thought so they should be considered local events. Second, continual references to comparisons of the expanding Universe to the surface of an expanding balloon describes exactly how it is expanding. Compare it to a rubber band that is snipped and has points of reference drawn on it where the center point is one inch to the right of the left point and three inches to the left of the right point stretched uniformly to twice its size and which will then have the first point two inches from the center point and the other point six inches from the center point. Any where you stand in the Universe the analogy applies, that the expansion acellerates faster the farther you are away from a point of reference. Think farther away from the box that is this Universe.

Without quantification, it is just a guess. The guess might be right, but there cannot be any proof
Nonsense. If there isn't any proof then we're both wrong. The proof is in the logic.

Quote:
It is not a "slight" drift.
It is a slight drift, relatively speaking considering that extremely far objects are acellerating away at near light propagation speeds. Also this value would depend on what point in the Universe you are using for a frame of reference.

Philosophy is what science would be without the math
Math is what the science would be without the philosophy. When we understand the truth, philosophy and science merge. Math can be as far from the truth as the farthest shoots from the spreading branches of the trunk of true knowledge of that tree. You know, that tree?

It is likely that the Universe has always existed and will continue to do so through eternity
.

Very unlikely since that is an untenable and a wholly impractical and shamefully unscientific concept.

Quote:
Einstein's equation is not an equation at all, it is a formula
It's an equation. A formula leads to a product. A baby formula is the finished product of some ingredients. A recipe is a formula. The product of E=mc˛ is the atom bomb. We're arguing semantics anyway but I won't stop if you won't.

This is fun.
