    In cosmologies unhindered by the shackles of the Big-Bang,
    one can consider galactic structures over scales previously unimaged.

    IMHO, there are better explanations for the Hubble red shift and
    cosmic background radation than the Big Bang. But I am no physicist
    [although I like to think I know what matters]...and I don't know
    if 20% of physicists can be placed in the camp of any one BB
    alternative.

    However, in the past many scientific theories have failed after being
    held as true by almost all the "experts."

    is not worth a spark of reason in one man." -Galileo
