2 UNIVERSES

The community of astrophysicists see the universe in two different way s. Most of them believe that the evidence points to a hot big bang uni verse. The minority, largely represented at this meeting, believe that if proper weight is given to all of the observational evidence, rathe r than only a part of it, a very different model of the universe is in dicated. Here I summarize that part of the evidence ignored by the maj ority, which shows (a) that not all redshifts are due to expansion, an d (b) that galaxies and other coherent objects probably did not form f rom the condensation of diffuse gas.
