Did I not say that the universe is expanding? Enough with the metaphor and go to facts. The universe is expanding. Could there be a dimensional distortion that makes time go much faster toward the edge? Well the video explains about that. You say it is obvious from your example that it should be flatter as it gets bigger. But the universe isn't so simple as comparing it to a balloon. On top of that there could be a force creating distortion. Because we don't know what causes it we should discard it? In that case we should discard gravity because we dont know exactly what causes that force. The theory explains the pioneer effect. And Phil you failed to answer my question so I'll ask it again. Why do all the galaxies we see look the same in development? Shouldn't we see an evolution of galexies?
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
