Suppose the universe was NOT expanding and that distances in the universe stayed constant. Also, suppose the X on your balloon represents a distant galaxy. Would radiation from that galaxy look the same today as it did 1,000 years ago if the universe was NOT expanding? Explain your answer.

Yes and No, I think that because the radiation still travels the disctance it could be different. Given that the universe does no expand it would still change the galaxy would still "evolve" and that could make its radiation change.

If the Universe is only 14 billion years old, why isn't the most distant ... Is the Universe expanding or is it just that our definitions of length and time ... None of these prove the Big Bang, since scientific theories are not proven. .... constant, which is the ratio of the radial velocity of a distant galaxy to its distance. Yes!
