For instance, what on earth are thy going on about with the cross shaped thing? I don't get what they're trying to prove.
If you are talking about "Einstein's Cross" phenomenon for seeing 'around' another heavenly body, then one of my ex-professors mathematically modeled and proved Einstein's theory in this regard. His computer modelling was skewed to the lower right quadrant for some reason that he is still working out, but the theory panned out!
This is the ability of gravity to "bend" light around an object. A star hidden behind another heavenly has a visual effect of a cross around the obstructing body. By modeling this and extrapolating backwards we can "see" the hidden source!
This has simplistic attributes in Astronomy, and more complicated attributes in Physics and Mathematics. Plus it is always a big bump on your resume to confirm any of Einstein's theories!

Time dilation kind of is frame dragging.

A computer can have rules observed from the sky imputed into itself.
Sorry, but a computer can be the universe if the rules are programmed.

Hod DID probe B not prove it?

You're going to have to explain what I'm looking at, how it disproves anything, and why you are right from it.

In order for you to be right, you have to explain this, and provide an alternative.
But I don't get out this disproves anything.

But not all of that is caused by that is solely from quasars.
Some come from eons in the early stages of the universe.
And others have no apparent source of bending the image.
Quasars are not the be all and end all on this phenomenon. Some display the affect over many galaxies, far enough to be out of the affect of any star.

I thought Big Bang was out the window years ago. I don't remember the details, but I read several popular opinions that it had failed in many aspects.
I remember an elementary observation I had years ago. If there was a Big Bang, shouldn't everything be moving "away" from everything else. How do we have things that are colliding, or accelerating towards one another?
