Re: Cosmological Horizon
I wonder if that means that we can meet halfway the creationist point of view that the Earth is at the centre of the expanding universe. It's at the centre of the limit of our perception of the expanding universe.
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: Cosmological Horizon
Oh, I wasn't intending to support the looney's point - I was wondering if we could re-frame the looney's terms of reference, so that the looney's opinion more closely resembled reality.

(Still, if I pursue this, it'll be off-topic, so I'll leave it for the time being).
