Forgive me for this brief interruption, Richard:
Latest observations indicate expansion of the universe is `accelerating!' It
is easy enough to check out; all major news sources carried the story.
The first effect of this information is the resurrection, wholly intact, of
Einstein's long deceased `cosmological constant' and the possibility of that
`UNlooked for' and `UNexpected' spectre of the mythological `5th force.'
How is your preferred cosmological view coping, with this new information? I
realise, of course, the new data is only a week old.
