Personally I find Cosmology a crock. It's a nice philosophical debate - but nothing more. Einstein made the mistake of 'fitting' his theory to the dogma of the time. At the time of Hubble (and even now) the theory of an expanding universe is just theory. There is no direct evidence for it other than measuring light and the light indicates that more distant objects are moving away from us faster than nearer objects. BUT - we have based this premise on an assumption that the nature of light is unchanged over such vast differences without any means of actually proving it!

What do you mean by the "nature of light" in this context.
