Wait. What? The primary data that spawned the “Big Bang Theory” might be flawed? Say it ain’t so! If that was true then just about every new observation made would cause an “adjustment” to the theory, or the data would have to be “adjusted” to fit the theory.
But I’ve always been told that a consensus of 97% of scientists agree that the theory is a true model…

It occurs frequently in cosmology when much theorizing rests on assumptions about data.

If our understanding of red shift is wrong, then all the assumptions of how old and how fast the universe is expanding are out the window. His books are available and are very interesting.
