I expect this will be my only posting to this topic, for I have no personal interest in getting into cosmological relativistic effects.
My question is, even if Humphreys' hypothesis was to hold up, does it in any way effect the earthly evidence of a 4.6 billion year old planet? It certainly doesn't work to plug a very old earth into a very young cosmos.

I also think we should cut off humphreys hands and sew his mouth shut so no one will ever hear of his "crazy talk" ever again. its pretty bad when the people hes trying to support think hes a moron.

In the context of scientific use, make that "theoretical" into "hypothetical".
