That's no change for AlwaysWrong. He's *always* wrong.

Which leads to my favorite hypothesis; that there was no big bang, but
rather a big bubble which came about much like a bubble appears in a
cavitating medium.

If that were the case, then the medium surrounding our bubble would be
the Universe, while what was bounded by the walls of our bubble would be
our universe.

Looking at it from the point of view that matter is accelerating away
from us as its distance from us increases makes no sense in a big bang
universe since, after the initial acceleration, nothing would be driving
the mass and one would expect that matter would either recede at a
constant velocity if the universe was open, stop if the universe was
static, or accrete if the universe was closed.

Such is not the case however, and for matter to accelerate as it gets
farther way from us requires that some force be attracting it.

If that force is gravitational and our universe is bubble-like, then the
tug must be exerted by something external to our universe: the mass
peculiar to that part of the Universe which is attracting it, causing
matter on this side of the wall to hurtle toward it.

As you say, there are, interestingly, blue shifts in our local group
which indicate that some of our members are being attracted to each
other.

Even as that happens, though, we're _all_ accelerating toward the wall,
sort of like people walking toward each other on a train accelerating
toward a mountain.

I listen to the expanding Universe people but can't figure out how we are going
to bang into Andromeda.

I have a theory of gravity. Its not being pulled but being pushed by
black energy .

Andromeda is being pulled toward the wall by the mutual gravitation
between the wall and Andromeda, and we're being pulled toward Andromeda
and the wall by our mutual gravitation.

Then, since we're being affected by Andromeda's field as well as the
wall's, our speed toward the wall will be greater than Andromeda's and
we'll eventually run into Andromeda on our way to the wall.

That's just repulsive!
