that Newton's First Law of Motion is violated; that is, a body put into motion in empty space, will NOT continue to move at a constant velocity forever? AG

If photons lose energy as the universe expands, resulting in longer wave lengths, it's reasonable to suppose that material bodies do the same. Since the wavelength of a material body is h/p, as the wavelength increases, p must decease, eventually coming to rest, and violating Newton's First Law of Motion. AG

This implies the expansion of the universe is generally slowing down, and will eventually stop. AG
