Assuming that observer and light source are not in motion with respect to each other, there are really only two possibilities; " It sounds better to say : "Somewhere along the line you have observer and light source, and the observer is seeing redshifted light. Assuming that observer and light source are both stationary with respect to their local neighborhoods, there are really only two possibilities; " [1] Space is expanding in a neighborhood around the light source, or [2] Space is contracting locally in a neighborhood about the observer

This is a dictum error. the crystalization of language to country borders and the resulting wars are all based around the 'standardization' of language. Which although a fine objective, has the problem of multiple standard authorities. It also opens abuse of understanding, by say detatching people from the meaning of words, by the process of assuming that no questions have to be passed to get the point spoken, and also by the process of purposefully hiding the origin of words for a population control gain by 'respelling' to the authorities request a.k.a. NewSpeak of the modern politician. Yes just 1 isomorphic form for the equations (containing the logic of the common goal) but words are as free as the birds, until shot that is. Cheers Jacko
