In my 1st post on this I referred to the simplest (homogeneous &
isotropic) model universes. Humphreys' is _not_ of this type so what I
said about lack of time dilation doesn't apply. If other models
such as those of Hawking or Penrose accurately represent our
universe then that of Humphreys doesn't.
