It's just as I suspected - there are NO coincidences.

I don't think Elon has any malice towards his own species. I tend to agree with the first comment on the article, re: p(dystopia), where almost all LLM services are currently in play, mostly due to the actions of third party clients.

It would be fantastic to add two simple features: 1) task groups (for example, a project) and 2) drag-and-drop reordering of tasks. Then it would be the only task manager one would need.

What if the universe doesn't expand at all? What if we're completely wrong and redshift is caused by something else entirely, like some yet-undiscovered phenomenon that occurs to spacetime or electromagnetic waves? How can we be so sure it's space that's expanding, not time?

The more I read about this, the more it feels like phlogiston theory[1]. Works great for describing observations at first, but as more observations are made, some contradict the theory, so exceptions are made for these cases (phlogiston must have negative mass sometimes/there must be extra matter or energy for galaxies to spin as fast as they do), and then finally someone discovers something (oxygen/???) that explains all observations much simpler and requires no weird exceptions.

I suspect, in a few decades, when the smoke clears and the very latest sub-infrared, stadium-sized space telescope finds fully formed galaxies several billion years "before" the alleged moment of creation, then the astronomical community will finally start to question the logic of prevailing cosmological theory, from the ground up.

The big bang was first postulated by an agent of the vatican, and scientists raised in any religious context tend to generate experiments that confirm their beliefs.

The opening sentence of this article is 100% wrong. Hubble was a good scientist and correctly made no assumptions regarding his observations that objects that are further away by parallax are more red shifted.

The assumption that these observations indicated an expanding universe was delivered to us by LeMaitre; if you believe in an expanding universe with a finite age, then give credit where it is due...
