Yes, Eric, but is the rest of what he said of merit? If light loses energy as it leaves its star's/galaxy's gravity well, and then regains energy as it enters our gravity well, is this -energy/+energy pretty much a balanced effect? Does one cancel out the other? Or is there an offset, an imbalance, to some degree? happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.
