\section{The Horizon Problem}
In cosmology, it is believed that regions of space on `opposite' sides
of the universe are too far apart to have ever been causally connected.
That is, they are outside each other's `particle horizon'. Consequently,
it is difficult to explain the apparent similarities in their
characteristics as evidenced by COBE results. Inflation theory has been
offered as a way to overcome this `Horizon Problem'. However, it is my
intention, here, to show that it is not necessary to postulate Inflation
in order to insure that \emph{all} regions of spacetime are now, and
have always been, causally connected.

If they are more than 15 billion lightyears apart you have some
serious explaining to do.
