Good point. I said something similar, because it is inherently obvious. There's massive common sense "evidence" to dispute a single universal big bang. If you crunch the numbers with an open mind and enough common sense the big bang is laughable. Unfortunately common sense (or even intellect) are not requisites in university, what is requisite is that people learn and agree with all the mumbojumbo and fashion spouted by every scientist previous. And there are penalties in terms of reputation and funding for anyone daring to put common sense and intellect first and the mumbo second....
on the topic of purposeful distraction, I have still yet to see even a weak gesture towards an answer to my questions of "Where was all the mass/matter, and how long was it there, before it bacame the universe?". That must be accounted for if you're going to say that the universe "began".

And Einstein also had something to say about space being curved too if I remember. All three of those are reasonably smart guys.Thatoneguy said:I believe Hawking and Sagan both agreed that space is like a 3 dimensional mobius strip. Head in any direction for long enough, and you will end up back where you started, provided you moved in a straight line and didn't bump in to any stars.

So Occam's razor suits me too, it is quite a simple theory that if something (even light?) travelling far enough would be affected by the curved space. Some symptom looking like doppler shift from very far light would be understandable, or even expected.
