My background is studential, originally I was enamored with the
"halfway 'round." idea, something like seeing the same galaxy
from two different directions, that was presented to me in the 60's,
~ 50 years ago. In that interval we humans have greatly improved
our astronomical ability, but we have NO observational evidence,

So as unpopular as it is, I did the math and subscribe to an
infinite universe, with a fairly finite density, but then writing this
I will be called a crank by the Big Bang crowd, but Fred, SPF
was designed to present alternatives.
