It's both sad and rather telling that sjastro and crew are still harping on Olber's paradox even *after* I showed them how utterly pathetic of an argument that is.

The inverse square law, dust and distance are the reason Olber's claims are absurd, and you can check it with your own eyes at night. It turns out that Thomas Digges solved Olber's paradox before Olber was even born. The human eye can see around 10,000 stars in the night sky out of a over 250 *billion* stars in our own galaxy. Likewise we can observe less than 10 (including our own) galaxy in the night sky out of approximately 100,000 galaxies in our own local supercluster. That is due to the inverse square law, and 'surface brightness" is a meaningless argument. The night sky isn't "dark" because the universe is expanding, it's dark because of the inverse square laws, dust and distant. Period.

I also pointed out to them that they are still 268,770 AU shells in the hole with respect to their ridiculous "shell" claim.
There's absolutely nothing left standing about Olber's paradox in relationship to *any* cosmology model, expanding or not, infinite or not.
