     Are you saying that galaxies are not really moving apart?  That a tape
measure connecting galaxies would not continually play out?  If so, I think
your view is in conflict with the big bang theory.  If not, then my
question stands: why does the space between galaxies expand at the Hubble
rate, but space in the solar system does not?  -|Tom|-
