Based on the measured red-shifts of far away stars and galaxies It has been determined that these stars and galaxies are moving away from us. The further away they are, the larger the red-shift, and the faster the stars are moving. The conclusion is that the whole universe is expanding. However, looking far out into the universe is like looking back in time. We may be able to see the faint light of a quasar as far away as 13 billion light years, but this information is 13 billion years old. The red-shift is huge, and the object is moving fast, but that was 13 billion years ago.
Near by stars are moving slower, and they are further away in time from the big bang event, believed to be about 13.7 years ago. My conclusion is that the universe was expanding rapidly
in the past, but is now slowing down, the exact opposite of the prevailing view. Who is right?
