"Astronomers Say Universe May Be Bigger and Older
By John Johnson Jr., Times Staff Writer
August 5, 2006
New findings from an Ohio State University team of astronomers are raising
the possibility that the universe is larger than previously thought.
Using new measurement methods, the team found that the Triangulum Galaxy is
3 million light-years away, not the 2.6 million that had been accepted in
the past.
If the method proves reliable for other distant objects, the results could
force a readjustment of one of the building blocks of modern cosmology: the
Hubble constant..."

The foreground rotation of the solar system around the galactic axis
can look like acceleration to those who do not recognise the greater
cycle that the Earth participates in .The problem with celestial sphere
observing is that the inability to grasp and use foreground rotation
and hinge everything on axial orientation of the Earth is that you get
a celestial sphere every-valid-point-is-the
-center-of-a-rotating-universe and not an expanding one.It looks like
this ridiculous affair -

I am prepared to allow people to genuinely make an attempt to call a
halt as quickely as possible to this nonsense of people who are
genuinely losing the run of themselves.It is back at the original
Newtonian mutation which created the AU by using the celestial sphere
as a gauge for axial rotation.
Understand that this situation supersedes any contemporary event by
many degrees of magnitude in terms of importance for it represents a
particular intellectual and intuitive nadir that has been reached
