I love being a parent & grandparent, though it's never easy, and there's no instruction manual:

A smooth galaxy, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS survey.
It is at redshift 0.42 (lookback time 4.59 billion years) with coordinates (150.29543, 2.82500).
54 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.

My updated paper on MRET (Mass Redistribution Expansion Theory) is now available for download. I've seperated into 2 parts, 1 more technical, and a layperson friendly explainer. I'd love to know what you think! zenodo.org/records/1740...

Mass Redistribution Expansion Theory (MRET) v4.2 — The Geometric Universe That Balances Itself
MRET v4.2 presents a one-parameter, horizon-coupled account of late-time cosmic acceleration with no new exotic fluids and no modified gravity. The dark sector is reframed as one spacetime fabric in t...

I’ve spent the last two years building an alternative to dark energy from scratch.
It’s called the Mass Redistribution Expansion Theory (MRET):
Black holes and galaxy clusters don’t just bend spacetime—they stretch it. That stretch drives expansion.
