    Crazy Old Coot says "Hello"

    Greetings, I am almost 70 years old now, and have retired from formal employment. This was no my decision, but Company policy. I've been making stuff since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Not everything worked out first time... I love hydraulics, and structures with triangulation. I have built...

    I Expansion-Collapse cycle in cosmological structures?

    Concerning cosmological structures (like galaxies, clusters of galaxies, gas bodies, superclusters...etc) if the elements that make them are close enough they will be attracted towards each other by gravity. Contrarily, if they are sufficiently far apart they will get further away following the...
