In all cosmological models, including expansion and tired-light, the
speed of light is a constant c.

Decelerating-Light is new and different.

It interprets the Hubble redshift as the simplest and most elegant
possibility:

redshift is light naturally decelerating in static space.

This is a rough implementation of Hubble's law through deceleration
rather than expansion for 9 photons emitted at different times:

photon_count = 0

do while photon_count < 10

photon_count = photon_count + 1
dimension photon_array[photon_count]

photon_array[photon_count] = createobject("photon", photon_count)

* go a while before creating another photon
for iii = 1 to 4.2 * 10^5

for jjj = 1 to photon_count
photon = photon_array[jjj]
photon.move()
endfor

endfor

?.t.
enddo

create cursor photons (n i, x n(20,5), c n(10,6))
for jjj = 1 to photon_count
photon = photon_array[jjj]
insert into photons (n, x, c) values (photon.n, photon.x, photon.c)
endfor
browse
copy to decelerated type csv


define class photon as custom
x = 0 && position in light years
c = 1 && speed in light years per year
i = 0 && iterations
n = 0 && identification

function move

this.i = this.i + 1
this.x = this.x + this.c

* We've been traveling for 1 million light years, slow down
if this.i = 10^6
this.i = 0
this.c = this.c - 0.00002
?this.c, this.x, this.n
endif
return

function init(tnPhotonCount)
this.n = tnPhotonCount
return

enddefine

That sends 10 photon's going around, and since they are emitted at
different times, they are traveling at different decelerated
velocities.

Here is the result in CSV format:

n,x,c
1,4199864.00020,0.999920
2,3779893.20022,0.999940
3,3359918.40022,0.999940
4,2939942.40020,0.999960
5,2519959.20014,0.999960
6,2099976.00007,0.999960
7,1679986.40005,0.999980
8,1259994.80002,0.999980
9,840000.00000,1.000000
10,420000.00000,1.000000


Because

E = hf

and

c = fw

It seems that this rule, unlike expansion, drops the frequency without
compensating in the wavelength.

So expansion predicts redshift frequency and stretched wavelength.

And deceleration predicts redshift frequency and static wavelength.


It seems that deceleration is dead on arrival if that's the case.

But, according to the code, every photon, upon emission, is traveling
at c.

Without a fuller QM model to work with, we would have to make some
assumptions about what happens when this light is measured.

It seems that the photons are absorbed, and re-transmitted in all
sorts of ways.

If that's the case, in the process of measuring the light, we're
dealing with fresh new photons recently emitted from electrons in the
measurement apparatus, and they would be traveling at c.


So, maybe there's some other way to tell.

The first point was that Tired Light uses a constant speed of light.

The second point was that deceleration of light in static space is a
valid interpretation of Hubble redshift.


It makes the prediction, essentially, that light with Hubble redshift
has its original wavelength despite the redshifted frequency.

My point was that it is not expanding.

That's what I meant by static.

The beginning of Newton's Principia defined time and space as being
both absolute and relative:

<quote>
I. Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own
nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by
another name is called duration:

relative, apparent, and common time, is some sensible and external
(whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of
motion, which is commonly used instead of true time; such as an hour,
a day, a month, a year.

II. Absolute space, in its own nature, without relation to anything
external, remains always similar and immovable.

Relative space is some movable dimension or measure of the absolute
spaces; which our senses determine by its position to bodies; and
which is commonly taken for immovable space; such is the dimension of
a subterraneous, an aerial, or celestial space, determined by its
position in respect of the earth.
</quote>


Furthermore, Einstein never disputed absolute/relative duality of
space and time.

He only pointed out that the subject of our equations and observations
are relative space and time.

He writes in Relativity Chapter 9:

<quote>
Now before the advent of the theory of relativity it had always
tacitly been assumed in physics that the statement of time had an
absolute significance, i.e. that it is independent of the state of
motion of the body of reference. But we have just seen that this
assumption is incompatible with the most natural definition of
simultaneity; if we discard this assumption, then the conflict between
the law of the propagation of light in vacuo and the principle of
relativity (developed in Section VII) disappears."
</quote>

The reason for the assumption could be Newton's description of
absolute time being mathematical rather than relative time.

In Chapter 8, Einstein gives his working definition for time:

<quote>
Under these conditions we understand by the 'time' of an event the
reading (position of the hands) of that one of these clocks which is
in the immediate vicinity (in space) of the event
</quote>

Einstein is defining time in terms of the moving hands of a clock,
which is nearly identical to how Newton defined relative time:

<quote>
Relative, apparent, and common time, is some sensible and external
(whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of
motion, which is commonly used instead of true time; such as an hour,
a day, a month, a year.
</quote>

Newton's definitions came from Descartes, and the ideas go back to the
Greek Monists.

So some light is travelling slower than other light; yet all light of a
particular (incident) frequency in a medium has the same refractive index .

Can you explain this?

Le commencement de Principia de Newton a défini le temps et l'espace
en tant qu'étant
absolu et parent :

<quote>
I. Temps absolu, vrai, et mathématique, de lui-même, et de ses propres
nature, écoulements régulier sans relation à n'importe quoi externe,
et près
un autre nom s'appelle durée :

le temps relatif, apparent, et commun, est un certains sensible et
externe
(si précis ou unequable) mesure de durée par les moyens de
mouvement, qui est utilisé généralement au lieu d'en temps réel ;
comme une heure,
un jour, un mois, une année.

II. L'espace absolu, en sa propre nature, sans relation à n'importe
quoi
l'external, demeure toujours semblable et immeuble.

L'espace relatif est une certaine dimension ou mesure mobile de
l'absolu
les espaces ; ce que nos sens déterminent par sa position aux corps ;
et
ce qui est généralement pris pour l'espace immeuble ; telle est la
dimension de
un subterraneous, une antenne, ou l'espace céleste, déterminé par son
position en ce qui concerne la terre.
</quote>

En outre, Einstein n'a jamais contesté dualité absolue/relative de
l'espace et temps.

Il a seulement précisé que le sujet de nos équations et observations
sont l'espace et le temps relatifs.

Il écrit en chapitre 9 de relativité :

<quote>
Maintenant avant l'arrivée de la théorie de relativité il a eu
toujours
tacitement assumé dans la physique que le rapport du temps a eu
signification absolue, c.-à-d. ce c'est indépendant de l'état de
mouvement du corps de la référence. Mais nous avons juste vu que ceci
la prétention est incompatible avec la définition la plus normale de
simultanéité ; si nous jetons cette prétention, alors le conflit entre
la loi de la propagation de la lumière sous vide et du principe de
la relativité (développée dans section VII) disparaît. «
</quote>

La raison de la prétention a pu être la description de Newton de
temps absolu étant mathématique plutôt que le temps relatif.

En chapitre 8, Einstein donne sa définition fonctionnante pendant le
temps :

<quote>
Dans ces conditions nous comprenons par la « période » d'un événement
lecture (position des mains) de celle-là de ces horloges qui sont
à proximité immédiate (dans l'espace) de l'événement
</quote>

Einstein définit le temps en termes de mains mobiles d'une horloge,
ce qui est presque identique à la façon dont Newton a défini le temps
relatif :

<quote>
Le temps relatif, apparent, et commun, est un certains sensible et
externe
(si précis ou unequable) mesure de durée par les moyens de
mouvement, qui est utilisé généralement au lieu d'en temps réel ;
comme une heure,
un jour, un mois, une année.
</quote>

Les définitions de Newton sont venues de Descartes, et les idées
retournent au

According to the code, a photon doesn't start to decelerate until it
travels a million light years.

Is there a medium 100 million light years long, to perform an
experiment in?

If so, it would take a few million years to perform the experiment.

So it seems the rule, with its constant velocity until 1 million light
years, is consistent with experiments.

And all locally emitted light is going to be traveling at c.

Nothing about that would change, and it'll be consistent with SR.

No it isn't. You ignore extensive evidence that is consistent with
expansion, eg time dilation of light curves, the proper fall off in
luminosity as a function of redshift...

[snip rest of crap]

Idiot. Fucking imbecile. How does the photon measure the distance?

Proper length and proper time are defined as the length of an object
and the amount of time that passes in a comoving frame.

A time-like vector in Minkowski space-time selects a preferred frame
(coordinate system) in which the t-axis points along the vector and
spatial coordinates are orthogonal to it. In this special coordinate
system, the t-component of the vector is called its proper length (or
proper mass-energy when talking of a 4-momentum vector).

OTOH, a light-like vector points along one of the directions contained
in the light cone. The light cone is unvariant under all Lorentz
transformations. Thus, a light-like vector is simply unable to pick a
preferred coordinate system. We cannot make any "proper"
measurements of a photon's 4-momentum.

Define "proper energy" as for any object: the length of the energy
momentum four-vector - that is, the mass-energy. EM waves(photons)
have no mass, so E = pc. The length of the four-vector is zero. In a
comoving frame (if such a thing could meaningfully exist) said light
would have no energy or frequency.

Yes, it does.

From the wikipedia:

"The concept was first proposed in 1929 by Fritz Zwicky, who suggested
that photons lose energy over time through collisions with other
particles"

The energy and frequency are lost.

But not velocity.

That makes deceleration an entirely novel alternative to the expansion
interpretation of Hubble's redshift.

E = hf

c = fw

f can drop and w can expand.

Or...

f can drop and c can drop.

All the mathematics are identical, except w stays constant instead of
w.

As opposed to in tired light, which is falsified, f drops but c and w
stay the same.

That doesn't add back up to the expansion model.

But dropping c does.

Speed of light is observed as c, therefore you "new model" is
discredited. It's wrong. It doesn't fit the observations. It
must be discarded.

It keeps track of how many iterations of the Move() function have been
called with the "i" property.

Assuming, for explanatory purposes, a photon is the mathematical
object below, then it should be easy, for a competent mathematician,
to see how each photon keeps track of how many times it has moved, and
that the speed is constant until 1 million light years.:

The speed of a photon is constant c for the first 1 million light
years of a journey.

So my rule is consistent with SR for every experiment that takes place
in less than 1 million years.

You are clearly over estimating your own competence, because you can't
tell the difference between Tired Light (which has a constant speed of
light) and Slow Light (where the speed actually changes).

I'd call you an idiot, but the world needs all strategies to go round.

Even though we're probably going to see the last generation of big
bang supporters soon, they are entertaining, coming up with an
accordian style expand and contract universe just to explain Hubble
redshift.

The beginning of Newton's Principia defined time and space as being
both absolute and relative:

<quote>
I. Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own
nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by
another name is called duration:

I. Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own
nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by
another name is called duration: relative, apparent, and common time,
is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure
of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of
true time; such as an hour, a day, a month, a year.

========================

I Le temps absolu, vrai et mathématique, sans relation à rien
d'extérieur, coule uniformément, & s'appelle durée. Le temps relatif,
apparent et vulgaire, est cette mesure sensible & externe d'une partie
de durée quelconque (égale ou inégale) prise du mouvement : telles
sont les mesures d'heures, de jours, de mois, &c, dont on se sert
ordinairement à la place du temps vrai.

II. Absolute space, in its own nature, without relation to anything
external, remains always similar and immovable. Relative space is some
movable dimension or measure of the absolute spaces; which our senses
determine by its position to bodies; and which is commonly taken for
immovable space; such is the dimension of a subterraneous, an aerial,
or celestial space, determined by its position in respect of the

earth. Absolute and relative space are the same in figure and
magnitude; but they do not remain always numerically the same. For if
the earth, for instance, moves, a space of our air, which relatively
and in respect of the earth remains always the same, will at one time
be one part of the absolute space into which the air passes; at
another time it will be another part of the same, and so, absolutely
understood, it will be continually changed.

http://site.voila.fr/monsyte/de/SCIENCES/scphys/textes_scientifiques_sources/Newton/Newton_Principia_original_et_Chatelet.htm

II. L'espace absolu, sans relation aux choses externes, demeure
toujours similaire & immobile. L'espace relatif est cette mesure ou
dimension mobile de l'espace absolu, laquelle tombe sous nos sens par
la relation aux corps, & que le vulgaire confond avec l'espace
immobile. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'un espace, pris en dedans de la
terre ou dans le ciel, est déterminé par la situation qu'il a à
l'égard de la terre. L'espace absolu & l'espace relatif sont les mêmes
d'espèce & de grandeur; mais ils ne le sont pas toujours de nombre;
car, par exemple, lorsque la terre change de place dans l'espace,
l'espace qui contient notre air demeure le même par rapport à la
terre, quoique l'air occupe nécessairement les différentes parties de
l'espace dans lesquelles il passe, & qu'il en change réellement sans
cesse.

Michal Helland erased the passage of Newton where this one explains
the exact significance CLEARLY by what precedes.
Isaac Newton explains us, before paragraph 3, that the air of the
office where we are goes, successively, to occupy of the absolute
places in empty space.
The air will move of an absolute place to another absolute place.
An absolute movement.
And thus this displacement will be done at an absolute velocity.

I want that the referees take note of the veracity of my quotation of
Newton.

Light after traveling 100 million light years is observed as having a
redshift, loss in f.

c = fw

We only "observe" c to be constant because we assume that's what it
must be, and go through great lengths such as inventing extra space
for it to travel around in, making it appear constant, hiding the fact
that it slowed down.

You are a joker !!!
6,3 billion inhabitants of the Earth can look at the sun by the
window.
They see the sun RELATIVE with THEIR window.
Each one his.

It is what Newton wrote.

(It also knows that the window advances, in the vacuum, of an absolute
place to another absolute place)

And you would have evidence that all that would be false?

We would like to know this “evidence”!!!!! To laugh!

Vous êtes un plaisantin !

6,3 milliards d'habitants de la Terre peuvent regarder le soleil par
la fenêtre.
Ils voient le soleil RELATIVEMENT à LEUR fenêtre.
Chacun la sienne.

C'est ce que Newton a écrit.

(Il sait aussi que la fenêtre avance, dans le vide, d'un lieu absolu à
un autre lieu absolu)

Et vous auriez des preuves que tout cela serait faux ?

Riddle me this, Sam.

Newton wrote:

spaces; which our senses determine by its position to bodies;"

It seems he is saying relative space is what makes up our measurements
and observations.

I'd love to know.

How do observations show that is wrong?

Doppler Effect
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/DopplerEffect.html

E decreases
Wavelength increases (gets longer)
Frequency decreases
c remains constant

This is observed in the laboratory
This is observed in satellite clocks
This is observed in the solar system
This is observed in the cosmos

This fits the data.

Through the properties of multiplication, a "w" that remains constant
will also fit the data.

You don't really "observe" space expanding.

You think you do because that's what you want to see.

Until you allow for the possibility of photons moving at less than c,
with a frequency and wavelength that don't fit on the traditional
spectrum, then you'll never see anything else.

Because of those assumptions, our optical instruments and techniques
aren't designed to show us what we're really looking at.

Which is obviously light slowing down.

That's one model of tired light. It isn't the only one, as you keep

Novel 80 years ago but not now. The theory is wrong because it makes

Elevate the argument past physics 101.

How the fuck would you know? I'm yet to see you write anything more
complicated than E = hf much less make a prediction.

You never make literature references or any kinds of references. You
simply start thread after thread explaining with some bullshit
pseudocode how you think the universe works. When challenged to
actually explain something, you are unable to use anything more
complicated than stuff taught in a physics 101 course.

Monsieur Sam Wormley
Vous ne semblez pas avoir remarqué clairement que vous êtes, ici, à
l'intérieur du débat secondaire que j'ai initié.
Ce débat est un sous-débat de celui initié par Michael Helland.

Le thème de ce sous-débat est :

La thèse présentée par Michael Helland est-elle (oui ou non) dans le
cadre du vide de Newton (static space) ou est-elle une thèse
antinewtoniste qui avancerait masquée avec de la fumée pour semer la
confusion ?
================================
Mr Sam Wormley
You do not seem to have noticed clearly that you are, here, inside the
secondary debate which I initiated.
This debate is a under-debate of that initiated by Michael Helland.

The topic of this under-debate is:

The thesis presented by Michael Helland is (yes or not) within is
the framework of the vacuum of Newton (static space) or a thesis
antinewtonist which would advance masked with smoke to sow confusion?

=================================
山姆・ Wormley先生
您不似乎明显地注意了您是,这里,在我创始的次要辩论里面。
这次辩论是迈克尔・创始的那的在之下辩论Helland。

这次在之下辩论题目是:

迈克尔・提出的命题的Helland是(是) 在之内牛顿(静态空间)或论文antinewtonist的真空的框架会前进掩没与烟播种混乱?
=================================
La première réponse de Michael Helland est un rideau de fumée.

J'ai fait appel à l'arbitrage des gens honnêtes du forum
"sci.logic" (ce qui exclut d'éventuels contributeurs provenant de
l'équipe de direction des sceptiques du Québec (ou de leurs alliés
relativistes) équipe qui, sans un seul mot d'explication ni publique
ni privée, a verrouillé le débat Newton que j'ai initié, effacé 3 de
mes textes et supprimé mon accès à leur forum.)
====================================
The first answer of Michael Helland is a smoke screen.

I called upon the arbitration of honest people of the forum
“sci.logic” (what excludes from possible contributors coming from the
leadership team from the skeptics from Quebec (or their relativistic
allies) team which, without only one word of explanation neither
public nor deprived, locked the Newton debate that I initiated, erased
3 of my texts and removed my access to their forum.)
=============================
迈克尔Helland第一个答复是烟幕。

我要求了论坛“sci.logic”的诚实的人的仲裁(什么从来自领导队的可能的贡献者排除自怀疑者自,没有仅公开和被剥夺,被锁牛顿辩论我创始,删掉
3我的文本和被取消我的对他们的论坛的通入的解释的一个词。)的魁北克(或他们相对论性的盟友)队


================================
Le cas échéant, je demanderais à des juges arbitres (d'instance

là-bas, de véritables matérialistes ayant étudié les textes hostiles à
la relativité qui ont été écrits par VI Oulianov - Lénine dans son
livre "Matérialisme et empiriocriticisme"
.================================
If necessary, I would ask judges referees (of higher authority) coming
from China, if it would remain, still, over there, of true
materialists having studied the hostile texts with relativity which
were written by VI Oulianov - Lénine in its book “Materialism and
empiriocriticism”

==================================
Votre réponse est donc complètement hors du sujet qui nous intéresse.
On ne vous a pas demandé si
- vous saviez recopier un link (on se doute que oui)
- vous connaissiez des textes en faveur de la relativité. (on se doute
aussi que oui)
===============================
Your answer is thus completely out of the subject which interests us.
It was not asked to you whether
- you could recopy a link (one suspects that yes)
- you knew texts in favour of relativity. (one also suspects that yes)
==================================
您的答复完全地因而是在感兴趣我们的主题外面。
是否未被要求给您
-您可能重复印链接(一个人是怀疑那)
-您知道文本倾向于相对。 (一个人是也怀疑那)

========================================

1° Lorsque vous regardez le soleil, faites vous cela RELATIVEMENT A

2° is This question EXACTLY what NEWTON IN ITS TEXT says?

Basically that says that space and time as they are studied in science
are relative.

Again, I point you to Newton's definition, which says that what we
observe is relative space:

"Relative space is some movable dimension or measure of the absolute
spaces; which our senses determine by its position to bodies;"

If, by definition, all observations of space are relative space, the
only way to prove Newton's definition wrong is to observe absolute
space.

Which your cite says is impossible.

Newton's definition of relative time and Einstein's definition of time
are identical.

No No, you don't really understand physics do you?

My point is that the light from the Moon (travelling at 'c' when it hits the
telescope optics) is refracted and brought to a focus at exactly the same
place as light from a distant galaxy ( travelling at << 'c' for sufficiently
distant galaxies)

So unless you can explain this, your theory is toast.

Did you read the code?

If a photon is emitted, it starts at c. It doesn't lose velocity until
1 million light years.

According to QED, refraction should be the absorbsion and reemission
of photons.

Since they're being re-emitted, the reemissions should be traveling at
c, like all normal light.

That's a direct consequence of the code I posted, and described in a
little detail toward the end of the original post.

Because that's how the rule works.

It starts out with c, and after traveling through 1 million light
years of space, then starts to decelerate.

If it gets reemitted, it'll start traveling at c again.

Expanding space expands the light wave.

Light slows down in the slower time of gravitation. You must wait on
it. It is still at c but in a different slower time metric.

OK, so you insist that refractive still depends on the ratio of the speed of
light in the two media.
So light from a distant galaxy (having a slower speed in vacuo) would have
be refracted in glass less than light from the moon
Can you see the problem yet?

NB Hubble - yes?

As I've shown, c = fw

Either c is constant, and when f drops, w expands to compensate.

Or w is constant, and when f drops c drops too.

No matter which way you calculate c and w, f should be consistent with
observations.

As to slow star light coming from around the moon, I would guess that
the change in c has an effect on how well light travels through a
strong gravitational field like the moon's.

The light might drop for each star by distance, but it's being sent
off in another direction, or landing in the back of the moon before we
see it.

Only if you are incredibly naive and refuse to actually think very
hard. You continue to refuse to elevate the discourse past "well it
expands to compensate...". Remember the Tolman surface brightness
test? I'm sure you do since you carefully ignore every mention of it

Tired Light fails the surface brightness test, because the galaxy is
not receding, and the light doesn't slow down.

However, when the light slows down (w is constant and c decreases) you
wind up with all the exact same frequencies as when space expands (c
is constant and w increases).

Decelerating light predicts all the same values as expansion, because
explaining redshift through deceleration or expansion are the same
mathematical trick, different only in the choice of which variable is
constant.

Since light doesn't decelerate until after 1 million years of a
journey, until then the speed of light is constant making the rule
consistent with SR for every experiment that takes less than 1 million
years to perform.

But decelerating light matches the same observable evidence as
expansion.

If there is more space for light to travel through, the journey takes
longer.

If light slows down, the journey takes longer.

f = 1 / t

Because t is the same regardless of what is going on wavelength or
speed, f matches the observations.

The problem is that we assume c must be constant, and that all light
has a proportional frequency and wavelength.

What I'm suggesting is that the f decreases, and w stays the same.

Therefore, Hubble redshift is actually an observation of light that is
unlike the light we find locally, in fact, it doesn't even fit on our
traditional spectrum because f and w aren't proportional like the
light we find around here.

Sorry mike no, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength...
this is an observed fact you can't just change the laws of physics to

And your evidence for that is what? Where is the observations to prove
it? Have you ever read anything on the theory of electromagnetism? No,

That's what you believe.

And no matter what I say, you won't change your mind.

But there is evidence that photons from deep space can be slower:

http://www.physorg.com/news110480559.html
The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope
found that high-energy photons of gamma radiation from a distant
galaxy arrived at Earth four minutes after lower-energy photons,
although they were apparently emitted at the same time. If correct,

Deceleration describes where SR down, not vice versa.

Sure. Have you noticed Hubble redshift?

That's deceleration.

That's what expansion does.

We imagine c = fw and c never changes, so we change the properties of
space (expansion) to match that.

There is nothing wrong with hypothesizing.

I'm suggesting that photons from deep space have properties that don't
line up exactly with the spectrum of light emitted locally.

Blasphemy?

If so, I consider that a good quality.

You're just going to have to live with it.

No violation of the constancy of the speed of light.

Helland should dig into this and see what's really going on. Perhaps
there is your 4 minute delay being created in the shock wave of the
leading edge of the blazer-jet. To wit, we don’t need to re-write
relativity from this one observation, Occam’s razor to the rescue...

Mysteries are always fun.

Occam would be on the side of decelerating light.

One simple little function for decelerating light could wipe away all
of expansion, big bang, inflation, dark matter, and dark energy off
the drafting table.

But Eric, Mike says he's not doing tired light its decelerating light,
and of course Mike would know that is completely different. Its a
completely different method of being wrong... To be honest I am
surprised he even bothered with the formula for this, he must really
be committed to making the biggest fool of himself he can.

I apologize for not responding satisfactorily.

I thought I responded to it.

The rule says that new light travels at c, and its velocity drops as
the millions and billions of years go by.

When light enters a lens, it hits electrons, and new photons are
emitted with the same energy.

But it is new light, so its traveling at c.

Once the light hits something and is re-emitted, it travels at c.
According to the rule.

The light in the lens matches that prediction.

And the refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light before and after
the light hits the glass. Agreed?

So - in typical glass (lab measurement of refractive index = 1.333) light
travels at 0.75 c Agreed?

And the kicker, for light that has travelled billions of light years and is
travelling at 0.8 c, the refractive index in the same glass is going to be
1.067.

Yet it is brought to focus at exactly the same place as the light from
nearby stars that is travelling at 1.0 c.

Can you see the problem with your theory? Yet?

The speed of light before doesn't matter. It would c and the speed of
light in the medium.

The code shows that even though light decelerates after a few hundred
million light years, it is emitted at c.

In QED, when light enters a lens, it is absorbed by electrons in the
atoms and emitted elsewhere.

So the photons in the lens are traveling at c, but they are spending
some time as energy in the atoms between short little journeys.

Curve fitting is not physics. Make a quantitative prediction - maybe
show that your "theory" gives the proper falloff for luminosity so it
passes the Tolman surface brightness test.

Oh wait, didn't you tell me it doesn't? Why are you still talking like
it is a viable theory?

THe code is wrong -- the speed of light is constant.

In QED light is absorbed by charged particle... the energy may
be re-emitted in the form of a photon.

The speed of the photons in the medium is c.

They do spend time inside atoms between absorption and emission, so it
takes longer to get from point a to b.

That's what is observed, and that's consistent with the rule where all
photons are emitted at c.

Great!

Show how it predicts the correct luminosity as a function of distance,
re: Tolman surface brightness test. Or ignore the question.

Show how it predicts that the CMBR _exists_.

Show how it predicts that the CMBR obeys a Planckian distribution.

Show how it predicts the 2.73 Kelvin temperature of the CMBR.

Show how it predicts the Gaussian distribution of inhomogeneities in
the CMBR.

Show how it explains how the inhomogeneities remain consistent even
across the casual horizon.

Show me that you know what a casual horizon /is/.

Show how it predicts the relative abundances of the light elements.

Show how it predicts the time dilation of supernova light curves.

Show how it predicts how galaxies form not only themselves and the
large scale structure of the universe.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head. I'll be
flabbergasted if you can do two of those.

ROFL is this your attempt at a Feynman Diagram? Tell me what do the

Your diagram implies the absorption of a photon of one
wavelength and the emission of a second photon of a
different wavelength.
