This seems odd to me, in that the further one looks, the older one sees. Yet signals from the very edge were also observed a very long time ago. Do we not get a doubling, like the image in a curved mirror? If so, there presumably is a region of time that we see over a range of distances, like the focus of that mirror.... If not, why not? -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsrgv!dciem!mmt
