The universe is not expanding; it is static and eternal. I have been an amateur astronomer for over two decades, and while researchers point to redshift as evidence for an expanding cosmos, the measurements are consistent with a tired light theory where photons lose energy over vast distances. After analyzing galactic distributions myself, the large-scale structure looks too orderly for a random expansion from a single point. The Big Bang is just a model, not a fact, and we should question the dogma.
