How do we know the universe is expanding? I know we think we are observing the Doppler effect, but what if the red-shift is actually cause by something else? The cosmic background radiation also experiences this observable red-shift, right? I'm thinking that maybe when light (or any electromagnetic wave) travels such far distances, it is effected somehow. Shouldn't we experience a blue-shift for light sources moving towards us? Has such a blue shift been observed?

Science is pure fact, spirituality is speculation and believe. If they were combined its be a sweet symphony of awesome-sauce

Woo woo. That's what.

[HybridD91]

Good. You should be worried if you weren't annoyed by it.

Spiritual stuff... consciousness, subconscious/unconscious, dna, pineal gland, dreams, frequency and vibrations to conscious awareness, third eye, afterlife, energy and consciousness, etc

Combine this with science friend
