Doug,

I'm still really confused.  However, I don't want to clutter the Physics
mailing list with this stuff if everyone else understands it.  I guess
the best bet is for us to continue this discussion on the mailing list
until someone asks us to stop.  Sound fair?

Anyway, Hubble constant stuff aside...I don't understand this locality
principle.  I know a little bit about special relativity, but I don't
recall anything about locality.  What determines what is "local" & what
is not?  In particular, I'd like to know a little more about
extrapolation away from the local environment.  Help.

[By the way: can you suggest some good books covering this stuff?]
