Red shifts mean objects are moving further away, Shockers... school boy error...
AHHH!!! NO!!! BECAUSE, REDSHIFT IS SO REDSHIFTED THAT HE'S GONE RIGHT THE WAY ROUND THE UNIVERSE AND IS NOW COMING BACK TOWARDS US!!!
That could so happen...

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! THE REDSHIFT WAS RETURNED FROM HIS TRIP ROUND THE UNIVERSE!!! HE WILL TAKE OUR CLOTHES!!!

That could so happen... Possibly not in a flat universe. Like the one we live in.

I fear Ralph may not cope with the idea of a curve being used to describe flatness.
Come to it, I don't think I can either!

Just tell me the universe is actually expanding and I'll be happy. My head doesn't mind the flatness on a curve otherwise.
