why did hubble only observe the galaxies further than those in a super cluster to call it a red shift. Isnt it more logical to say some thing about the closer galaxies first? and especially with the old telescopes. i know galaxies in a super cluster looked eventually colliding one day, because i saw some NASA youtube video about it. but they didnt say anything about their blueshift, or colliding.

where does the blue shift stop and the red shift begin? are galaxies in local cluster(10's of million light years) blue shifted?
are all galaxies in super cluster(100's of million light years) blue shifted? -
at about 55:00, there's an error - minus gradient of potential is actually force, not acceleration. So to get the acceleration the gradient of the potential should be divided by mass which is accelerated.

in a spherical universe , Newton`s theory wouldn't be valid that way we can have a perfect symmetry in all sides
-
if in the parsec definition we have AU , how we can explain it in other galaxy
light speed ok
hidrogen atom ok
but AU ? -
If we are moving in the cosmic microwave background , can It be used to calculate where we were ? and so with it a center ?

My understanding is that the greater the distance between 2 galaxies, the higher the recession rate. I have a question about the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy. They are on a collision course due to motion. Question: Is the space between the 2 galaxies stretching, but only at a low rate which does not sufficiently cause the 2 galaxies to recede away from each other dramatically enough to avoid a motion-caused collision ?
