At the end of this link which states, "Edwin Hubble did not favor the expanding universe hypothesis" _http://www.etheric.com/Cosmology/redshift.html I found a link to a short book called "The Farce of Physics" which I found to have a lot of interesting information. The link below is to a page that has the book plus some other stuff about the author, Bryan Wallace.

I cut and pasted some of the quotes I found surprising from the book below. The author makes reference to work he did that showed that the speed of propagation of light in the Solar System is v + c not c as the Theory of Relativity postulates. He makes reference to Petr Beckmann . He speculates and provides pretty good circumstantial evidence that the v + c nature of light has been withheld from general knowledge via the national security processes. He makes surprising references to Einstein and the Michelson-Morley experiment . Finally, he tells of his experiences with the scientific publication world's prejudices for orthodox views to the exclusion of any questioning of "established science", which in his case was the questioning of the validity of Einstein's theories of relativity. I found the book interesting.
Einstein: "The aether of the general theory of relativity is a medium without mechanical and kinematic properties, but which codetermines mechanical and electromagnetic events."
Einstein: "I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based on the field concept,i.e., on continuous structures. In that case, nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics."
Einstein: "...On the other hand, the problem of devising the mechanical model of ether seemed to become less and less interesting and the result, in view of the forced and artificial character of the assumptions, more and more discouraging. Our only way out seems to be to take for granted the fact that space has the physical property of transmitting electromagnetic waves, and not to bother too much about the meaning of this statement. We may still use the word ether, but only to express some physical property of space. This word ether has changed its meaning many times in the development of science. At the moment it no longer stands for a medium built up of particles. Its story, by no means finished, is continued by the relativity theory."
Einstein: "Light propagates through the sea of ether, in which the Earth is moving. In other words, the ether is moving with respect to the Earth...."
Wallace states: "The above information gives us insight into the nature of Einstein's relativity theory. He believes that the sea of ether exists, but he also believes that it cannot be detected by experiments, in other words, he believes it is invisible."
Prof. R. S. Shankland states: "The several statements which Einstein made to me in Princeton concerning the Michelson-Morley experiment are not entirely consistent, as mentioned above and in my earlier publication. His statements and attitudes towards the Michelson-Morley experiment underwent a progressive change during the course of our several conversations. I wrote down within a few minutes after each meeting exactly what I recalled that he had said. On 4 February 1950 he said,"...that he had become aware of it through the writings of H. A. Lorentz, but only after 1905 had it come to his attention." But at a later meeting on 24 October, 1952 he said, "I am not sure when I first heard of the Michelson experiment. I was not conscious that it had influenced me directly during the seven years that relativity had been my life. I guess I just took it for granted that it was true." However, in the years 1905-1909 (he told me) he thought a great deal about Michelson's result in his discussions with Lorentz and others, and then he realized (so he told me) that he "had been conscious of Michelson's result before 1905 partly through his reading of the papers of Lorentz and more because he had simply assumed this result of Michelson to be true."..."
