There would be no need for an expanding universe or big bang. I don't know why you would worry about what relativity would REQUIRE. The question is what observations it explains well, and whether there are a lot of them that it doesn't explain well. The very same issue is what tired-light models have faced.

Obviously, Henri, you have no idea what I posted, or any understanding of relativity theory. You are relegated to belittling what you cannot understand. |
