If gravity or some sort of attraction between masses is illusion, then what makes two bodies revolve about a common center of mass?
I feel this book was only written to make a name and money for the author and stir up controversy, (as so many other books). While he has certainly done some serious homework to explain away all great ideas before his as incorrect or flawed, he certainly hasn't convinced me of anything. The whole notion may not be wrong, but it is also untestable. Convenient. If every atom in the universe expanded at precisely the same rate, how would we ever be able to prove it?
Am I wrong about his error in explaining orbits, or did I miss something? I must admit, I skipped around a bit after discovering this fatal flaw in his reasoning. By the way, this is my first post here.

Hello! Welcome aboard!
Datalabs already mentioned this on the prior two pages. The orbits are not actual circle or elliptical paths. They just look like they are. Expansion dynamics do not work with Standard theory. The theories are two totally different ways of describing the universe. Expansion dynamics imply predictions and new math models utterly different than human experience. But Quantum Mechanics did the same thing, it utterly crushed classic views and took a generation to accept it. With hard work and patience, Expansion could possibly be a new theory that will bring down old thought and usher in a new. Remember Standard theory took decades to design and prove. Countless scientists refined it with time. Even now it is still about to altered yet again. Only time will tell if this new idea is the one we have all been waiting for.
The author has not earned a lot of money or reputation from the book. He simply printed it for lack of a better way to get into to public hands. Ideally he told me he would like to get it published on a larger and or more readily available scale. Recently he had a interview.
