    I saw a show at the planetarium which explained a little about our expanding universe. It showed in special effects how the galaxies are all moving away from earth, but also that from the point of view of any other planet or star, the galaxies seem to be moving away from it as the center. And that the detectable circumference is different in size depending on the size of the star and shows different parts of the universe.

    It was exactly like Liber AL 2:3
    "In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found."
    Not sure how 2:4 applies or not:
    "Yet she shall be known & I never."

    Did they know about the expanding universe in Crowley's day?

    This is how the wiki entry on expanding universe explains it:
    The metric expansion of space is of a kind completely different from the expansions and explosions seen in daily life. It also seems to be a property of the universe as a whole rather than a phenomenon that applies just to one part of the universe or can be observed from "outside" it.

    I don't understand it thoroughly, but I was just fascinated.

    Actually, my understanding of the expanding universe has evolved over time, and as it is now I believe it is also new to astrophysicists to think of it in these terms. Before, the conception of the Big Bang presented a center outward method to us, and even our popular culture references like Science Digest magazine and so on seemed to believe in a "center of the universe" notion that showed us distant galaxies rushing outward from a lone, distant spot - but then the redshift theory took up and the next thing we know, Stephen Hawkings is explaining to us that everywhere is the center and the circumference for each center point is uniquely found. Yeah. So I think the answer you seek is that this is all new to science and Liber Legis got it right back in 1904.

    Chalk another prophecy up to Aiwass.
