There is no problem conving David or myself of this, but both Tony and dhw have expressed differing degrees of skepticism. (scepticism for our british friend, but then how do we pronounce "scepter?")-Quote:-" Light from objects so distant has been stretched toward longer wavelengths as it travels across the expanding universe, and astronomers and cosmologists use the degree of stretching, or redshift, as a measure of distance traveled. In the case of SXDF-NB1006-2, the redshift implies that the object existed nearly 13 billion years ago."- http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/06/07/astronomers-identify-very-d... the big bang never happened, then why does correcting for the rate of expansion allow us to find results such as this?
