My problem is this; the light from distant galaxies is highly red-shifted, 
indicating a huge recessional velocity, but at a much earlier time. But at 
that time, galaxies were fairly close to each other, so the model of 
recessional velocity being primarily an artifact of geometry and expansion 
seems in doubt. What's the resolution? AG
