Letter: Time to abandon the big bang theory? (2)

Published 16 December 2020

From Nigel Tuersley, Tisbury, Wiltshire, UK

Could the conundrum about the universe’s faster-than-expected expansion be illusory? Since it is red-shifted objects on which we are relying as evidence for this acceleration, could it not be that the space-time in which the matter is embedded is shrinking with distance, producing the same effect through a different route?
