I've seen some of George's math and have no doubts as to his mathematical prowess. The point is, if physicist are able to determine that space is expanding in three dimensions with curved space time in between, as they claim, then they must have a way of accounting for the curvature of said space time. If they do not, then they can not say that space is expanding in three dimensions with curved space time in between.

Either they can account for it, and thus their assertions about expanding space are true, or they can not account for it and their assertions about expanding space are, while perhaps true, based on unprovable assumptions.-No. The curvature is based on objects in the way such as galaxy lensing which is used all the time to make observations that would otherwise not be available. Mass bends space and light. In looking at the CBWR 300,000 years after the Big Bang, there are all sorts of bodies between us and the point you want to fix. So, over that distance, there would be left-handed and right-handed curves that need not cancel out. One would hae to account for each one to have a valid fixed point, which would be moving all the time. George is right. Euclidian geometry doesn't work out there. Everyone accepts that, and you need to.
