I think it's because he did believe that (and he may be right, it is so far |
| 7 |
the best explanation we have despite it shortcommings). The words he uses on |
| 8 |
the book to describe it IIRC is "shape shifting mollusk", which probably |
| 9 |
sounds better in German. Most of the models built on it depend on it being a |
| 10 |
very real thing and it does explain a lot of things: expansion, red/blue |
| 11 |
shift, background radiation, etc. The big bang as we understand it today |
| 12 |
requires no only that space can bend but that it expanded faster than light. |
