I have no faith in but no argument either with the theories involved with astronomy.. But their dependence on red shifts for distance etc makes this Russian viewpoint relativistically interesting..

Maxwell had a concept of the aether as vortices, but concepts are like dreams, more than a theory that can be tested. http://bourabai.narod.ru:80/redshifts-e.htm Philip.
