Ruling out an expanding universe with conventional proofs

Well I have no skin in this game and no comprehension of the subject but I've been reading this thread with interest.I suppose it's possible that a genius can come out of nowhere and show all contemporary physics to be wrong - and there are obvious precedents, or at at least one - but i really can't imagine why someone who is seemingly capable of proving modern physics wrong would try to do it here.Surely some part of this mighty work is worthy of it's own publication? Is it necessary to attempt the proof in one bite? As we all seem to be saying, it strikes me that better tactics would be to win a few battles before claiming victory.

Well there was a fairly famous patent clerk who managed to come up with an idea or two.

His profession - his paid work - was his clerking. He couldn't get a job in academia. I suppose that makes his physics stuff a hobby - he was a mere amateur. It was a sad day for the world of patents when his hobby got out of hand. Still, they got over him.
