  1. Alex, I've watched a couple dozen of your videos now and find that your use of "may" or "might" evokes a conspiracy vibe that isn't consistent with what is representative among the discussions of researchers in this field. It seems like you are fueling the anxiety of the ambiguity rather than addressing the data.

  6. Your choice of units for velocity are so disorienting that your descriptions are meaningless. I like the idea of what you are doing but you should take care to represent units in easily translatable forms, like km/s or fractions of light speed.
