O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive! - Walter Scott
Before contacting Miles Mathis I did a little research on him, and on what other people thought about him. From brilliant analytical thinker to absolute delusional crackpot. I certainly believe he has managed to show the errors and inconsistencies and even outright fraud put forth by the mainstream sources on some topics.
This one I did have to agree with, pretty well in its entirety.

I kept my inquiry to him short and to the point, referred him to Websters theory, pointed out the lack of a decent photograph of even our own Sun from outside of Earths atmosphere, and asked if he thought Websters theory tenable, considering the accepted science involving attenuation, starting with Gamma-rays and working on down through the various processes known to exist and that result in the eventual reducing of the energies to microwave noise. With the conservation of energy law, the Gamma-ray energy can never just disappear, little packets of high energy end up as large amounts of low energy.
His prompt and brief reply was that the name Webster is a red flag, and that they were one of the families. Otherwise he was not currently that interested in this problem.
Non-commital as to the validity of an ALT model, a safe move given that he really would be in for some abuse were he ever to even hint of the possibility of our Sun not being visible from clear space.
Not currently that interested. I'll take that as a positive, perhaps in time he will be more interested, and I believe that if he is really the great thinker and questioner of authority that he professes to be, that the seed of the idea may eventually grow. This I think is how epiphanies come about. When we have learned though various means for a sufficient time, the knowledge, even though we may not be conscious of it happening, is being processed in many and complex ways, and eventually there is reached a synergetic threshold, the whole 'picture' becomes greater than the sum of all the individual pieces or pixelspixels of the accumulated information and knowledge.
Along the way, I came by some youtube videos that show some of the explanations that the mainstream uses to answer certain questions about what is happening out there.

What this does is confirm Hubbles expanding universe theory. And Penzias and Wilson, what a joke. ALT to the rescue!.
What does Space really look like?

Andromeda is not visible from outside of Earths atmosphere. Detectable in the UV though. Think ALT
Looked at another way, the supposed stars visible to us from within our local bubble are so far away, even the closest ones, are seen by Hubble as just one pixel, though they really take up much less than one pixel when you consider their (conventional) size and the field of view of Hubble. We see stars from Earth, even though they are well below the limits of detection, let alone resolution, by the human eye. We see them because of their intensity. But, if there is visible light coming from this point source, then by another reasoning, the wavefront of those stars would be flat, planar, by the time they reach Earth, and it would not be possible for our eyes to focus the light in order that it excites a rod or cone and trigger the vision circuits of the brain. Even the wavefronts from our Sun would have a large enough radius to be considered flat at Earths distance, and therefore non-focusable to our eyes.

From dark matter, of course! ALT has a different solution.
So, maybe I am every bit as crazy as Miles appears to others, and everyone else to everyone else whos ideas and beliefs clash. I'm with Kevin here, "to Me it's water off a ducks back, as I am quackers to most."
But only empirical science is ever going to convince me I am the quackers one.
