Dr. Alan Guth, Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is best known for the "inflationary" theory of cosmology in which many features of our universe, including how it came to be so uniform and why it began so close to the critical density can be explained by. Dr. Guth is the author of The Inflationary Universe, the Quest for a New Theory of Cosmic Origins, Alan Guth, A Golden Age of Cosmology and other publications. He will be presenting a talk entitled "Inflationary Cosmology."

Maybe if the Universe is not really expanding, It would explain the "mystery" about the vacuum density energy !! :)
The Galaxy NGC 7603 with its two Quasar-like objects sharing the same filament but all the four objects have different Redshift calculations 8700 Km/Sec - 17000 Km/sec. - 72.000 Km/sec. - 117.000 Km/sec.
So the expanding Universe is maybe not expanding at all !! :)
