Great quote from the article: "A useful analogy is with early models of the Solar System. With the Earth at the centre of the Solar System, it gradually became harder and harder to fit the observational data to this model. But astronomers found ways to do it by introducing ever more complex systems, the wheels-within-wheels model of the solar system. We know now that this approach was entirely wrong. One worry for cosmologists is that a similar process is going on now with models of the Universe." -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Troy Davidson Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 3:19 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Univers 250+ Times Larger Interesting read: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26333/ Universe could be MUCH bigger than we think it is.
