New space distance is being created inbetween matter as the universe
expands. This we observe as apparent galactic motion. But it is not
motion. They are not moving away through space.

We can't know that. What we see is that:
- wavelengths are longer than they should be
- intensity is in agreement with red shift
- duration of characteristic events is redshifted similarly to
the wavelength

... No, Maxwell shows that the speed of light is a constant. And
try as we might, light is so smart that it remembers to reflect
in such a way that its two-way light speed is always c. So not
"because of relativity", but because it agrees with Nature *here*
and *now*.

It's not such a dumb idea. This can be modelled using probabilistic
methods, and would explain many things such as redshifting quite
nicely.

You can have an expanding universe "without" a big bang.

However, to attempt such a model without using probability theory -
now THAT would be d-u-m-b.

I am not denying the redshift.

I just agree with Hubble that expansion is not the cause.

The cause is a loss in velocity over such immense intergalactic
distances.

E = hf

c = fw

Redshift means a loss of energy. Which means a decrease in frequency.

Which is a decrease in c.

If space expands, then c decreases.

But it also fits that if c decreases, its not the distance that
increases, it's the time that increases.

I'm not denying the redshift.

It's just that the redshift is really light slowing down which gives
the illusion of space expanding.

But if light slows down from distant galaxies, during a lunar occultatation
their image would take longer to disappear than more local stars or
galaxies. This isn't observed.

Now consider that:
- intensity changes in agreement with redshift being expansion
- duration of events change in agreement with redshift being
expansion

Your "belief" fixes redshift, but now requires entirely new
physics:
1) we don't know any way to remove some energy from passing
photons and not scatter them.
2) we are not getting increasing levels of light scattered from
older objects
3) we now cannot find processes similar to ones we see occuring
locally.

No, it is not a decrease in c.

What happens if your clock runs faster, and c stays always the
same value? The meter is defined as c times time. Is more
distance created thereby?

You don't need to play with both.

The conjecture is that photons, after traveling far enough, slow down
naturally.

Because they lose energy without scattering.

Same with expansion.

The point is this doesn't occur locally.

The point is Relativity holds true, but has like the Newtonian physics
it replaced, it starts to break down after traveling through deep
space.

Right.

You need to play with one or the other.

Mainstream cosmology says play with the size of space.

I'm saying, and the above cite seems to support, that playing with the
speed of photons gives all the same results.

Maybe.

If the differences in speeds of local light and intergalactic light
are big enough, and the distance between the Earth and the Moon is big
enough.

But maybe it's not big enough.

So they travel at c at emission, but slower than c sometime
later? This is not observed in the laboratory, using starlight
from rapidly moving sources. Guess again.

There are *not enough photons*. So guess again.

Non sequitur.

A fellow duplicated "gamma ray bursters" in the lab, eliciting
high energy photons from empty space, using only rapidly changing
magnetic fields. Howeer cool that is, it also has nothing to do
with our discussion.

NOT the "same with expansion".

Your conjecture fixes one observation, and breaks two.

Why? Relativity has a way to handle this, but you do not.

No. It says that the distance between two distant bodies is not
constant. This leaves a locally constant c, and a *variable time
rate* based on the "global curvature" of the Universe at that
instant.

It doesn't. I was tricked by the words of Setterfield into

Supernovae Ia (SNe Ia) light curves have been used to prove the
universe is expanding. As standard candles, SNe Ia appear to indicate
the rate of expansion has increased in the past and is now decreasing.
This independent evaluation of SNe Ia light curves demonstrates a
Malmquist Type II bias exists in the body of supernova data. If this
bias is properly addressed, there is very little budget for time
dilation in the light curves of supernova.
<snip>
For most of the 20th century astronomical observations such as
galactic evolution, heavy metal abundance, supernovae light curves and
the cosmic microwave background have fallen within the constraints of
the Einstein - de Sitter Big Bang model. In the last two decades these
relationships have become severely strained. The universe is too big
and too old; the magnitudes of supernovae are dimming too fast. There
are too many radio point sources. The far infrared continuum emissions
imply a dusty past that is completely at odds with multi-colored
supernovae and quasar spectrums. There is too little anisotropy in the
cosmic microwave background to support the observed galaxy
super-cluster structure. Heavy metal ratios equal to solar
concentrations have been quantified in the most redshifted objects we
observe. Something is wrong with this mature theory: It has failed in
too many predictions.

Which one? The big bang theory has evolved many times since Guth and

For starters, the observed baryonic isotope ratios, the background
radiation power spectrum, and the isotropy in the background
radiation.

How many predictions has your non-theory successfully made? I'm
guessing zero.

Well, my non-theory says that what is observable in deep space may be
limited, but the universe is actually infinite in all directions.

The reason for the observation limit is after traveling long enough,
say, twice the width of the observable universe light naturally wears
out.

It shows up to us as what is called the CMB.

It's a vague vague shadow, much vaguer than usual, of deeper than deep
space.

That explains what it all looks the same in all directions.

We are looking at a finite representation of infinity.

Congratulations, you acknowledge that light has finite propagation

Stupid and wrong. The CMB is a perfect blackbody to parts per million
level, and the anisotropies are randomly distributed.

At the distances redshift expansion starts to appear, the propagation
speed of light lessens.


In the equation

v = d / t

In order to explain the redshift, we assume t takes longer because d
gets bigger.

Instead, what if t takes longer because v gets smaller?

What if at the point expansion starts to appear, we're really just
watching relativity break down (much like how Newtonian physics breaks
down where relativity starts to appear).

Add that the CMBR was hotter as we look back further in time.
Why is there no similar hot CMBR light now?

I think he was pointing out the lack of light curve evidence.

As in a prediction that the Big Bang gets wrong.

Only as refinements. But we have been able to use observations
of distant processes, and have seen the CMBR to be much hotter
"back then". For example, 1.1 billion years ago, the CMBR was
about 9 K.

To be honest I am surprised Mike even posted a reference albeit a poor
one normally he just spews so this is a marked improvement.

Although I am a little confused to what the point of some of these
google searches is.

Although as usual Mike unfailingly embarrases himself in the misuse of
ideas he has no notion of, and in fact Mike has even admitted that he
knows nothing of physics so him talking of physics is really a waste
of anyones time...

Saying relativity "breaks down" is meaningless without a quantitative

down.

Observations report the light comes in red-shifted.

E = hf

Loss in energy is a loss in frequency.

Plug that into this formula:

c = fw

f = c / w

And you'll see that c gets smaller.

The explanation can become quite long, so I'll try to be brief.


1] You have a piece of length which is composed of, or graduated by
individual Plancklengths.

2] The graduations are not fixed. They can slide around freely. Their
position along the length segment is indeterminate.

3] The best way to model [2] is with probability theory. This leads to
a very intuitive explanation of why calculus works perfectly
regardless of Plancklength.

4] Now you need 3 existential forms, not just 2. In physics you must
have these three forms :
a] That which exists
b] That which does not exist
c] That for which existence is indeterminate. Existential
indeterminacy is a boundary condition.

5] Length can now be described probabilistically in two distinct ways:
a] A given segment is composed of points, and to each point we assign
a probability that the point exists.
b] A given segment is composed of a nonrandom segment to which we add
a random segment.

6] It is indeterminate whether we have [5a] or [5b], and so the
continuity/discreteness of spacetime is indeterminate.

7] Waves in space are easily modelled as fluctuations in this
"existential potential" of [5a].

8] And so expansion of space can be characterized quite simply as an
overall increase of the probabilities in the existential potential of
[5a]. In a sense it really is expansion, but can be viewed as a purely
probabilistic phenoemena.

That's how I got there -

Huang

Good question.

Let's get the extreme case out of the question.

The CMB.

Can you see the CMB behind the moon while its still there?

If so, we're still in the water.

Now the other extreme.

In which near galaxies does expansion redshift begin to occur?

How many light years does light have to travel to us before we detect
the expansion of the universe?

Lets start with a group of galaxies such as the Hercules Cluster. It is
reckoned to be about 650 Mly distant. The red shift is about 0.036. What
would be the reduction in the speed of light for these galaxies?

How much expansion occurs during that journey?


Say it is X, or f(650)


v = 650 light years / 650 years

so

v = f(650) light years / f(650) years

That's an expanding universe, because the speed of light is constant.

But, if we accept that around 650 light years relativity hits its
limit (much like Newton hits its limits approaching c), then we can
allow the speed of light to change.


v_tired = 650 light years / f(650) years

That's how much the speed of light tires.

He has 4 criticisms.

1. No known interaction will cause tired light

response: I'm not suggesting an interaction causes it. I'm suggesting
it's the natural behavior of photon after 650 Mly.

2. Light curves.

response: Jensen casts some doubt on the evidence

3. The CMB

response: His diagrams clearly depict models based on different
assumptions. Keeping the Big Bang current with observations has been

behind.

4. "The tired light model fails the Tolman surface brightness test.
This is essentially the same effect as the CMB prefactor test, but
applied to the surface brightness of galaxies instead of to the
emissivities of blackbodies."

No, you will see that w gets larger. The wavelength is what is measured
for light. When you do this with microwaves, you measure frequency and
you see the frequency decrease. Since the frequency decreases and the
wavelength increases in the same ratio, it means that c is a constant.

No, that is the experimental result. Look up "tired light" and see the

You don't know why or how you think it happens, or even why you think

It gets worse than that. The "tired light" phenomenon is,
AFAICT, related to Gaussian wavepacket spreading.

Let's say you are a photon.

You are at 0,0.

You're friend is at 0, 650Mly

You want to see your friend.

You meet up with your friend.

He was 650 Mly away. Because of expansion you traveled a distance
greater than 650 Mly.

You traveled f(650) Mly.

I use the function because I don't know how to calculate the actual
number.

Yes, I'm that stupid.

If we were to assume that space is not expanding, then space stays the
same, yet time changes. Like so:

your_predicted_speed_of_light = 650 Mly / f(650) years

That's my answer.

And because:

c = fw

If we consider c variable and not constant, then

E = hf

Which means it's consistent with the observed redshifts.

In the Big Bang model, in order to explains some of its problems, an
"inflation" period occurred.

That's just shit happening.

If you posit the Big Bang, then you posit an "inflation" period.

That's essentially the same as positing a "tiring" period on a photon.

Occam's Razor isn't on your side.

The issue is, from his diagrams, he is assuming the observable
universe and universe are one in the same.

Under my assumptions, the observable universe is different from the
Universe.

The CMB is recovered in a much different manner.

Have you noticed I'm just here looking for conversation.

If someone was willing to explain the Tolman surface brightness test*
then I think the physics content in this group would probably go up .

You can stand in the way of that if you'd like.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolman_surface_brightness_test

First link. Worthless as an actual reference but a perfect place to
get started in your research.

http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0106566

Second link. Summarized: Tired light is crap, and observation is
consistent with an expanding universe. Read the paper, and you will
have it explained - again - why tired light is crap.

When you can't figure out something when its' name is given to you and
the first dozen links on google abundantly and clearly explain the

you clearly need to stop discussing tired light and cosmology in

I simply do not understand why you believe you can contribute to any

OK, so take your theory seriously, find out how it works and come up with a
test that gives one result for your theory and a different result for the
existing model.
That's one way that science works. But it really has to start with you
taking your own theory seriously. Until then, you can't expect anyone else
to take it seriously.

When it comes to the Big Bang vrs Tired Light idea, thinking about it
and talking about it is just for fun.

You're acting like I'm irreverent and blasphemous. Like you're
emotionally attached to ideas.

Anyways.

If someone would like to explain the Tolman Surface Brightness test,
that would be great.

I found those links earlier.

Needless to say, I am stupid, and as of yet, do not understand the
Tolman Surface Brightness test.

I didn't think you would explain it. You're more interested in putting
me down.

But someone else might.

If I thought there was a shred of hope that you'd learn, I'd take the
time to teach you what I have learned while reading about it.

Since there isn't, I don't go past the requisite effort of putting the

Posting here is my hobby. Occasionally I'll write a long post full of
physics in response to something, but those are few and far between
because folks like you won't appreciate it and doing it just isn't the
same when you know it won't be appreciated.

If you want more physics in here, make the effort to learn some
yourself. If you could demonstrate that you want to /learn/ instead of
just /talk/, then I'd be glad to talk more. Otherwise, carry on in
your whining.

Not sure I really understand your question but I might be able to
explain the part about space expanding and its relation to mass and
energy.
I have been posting about an alternative theory that looks at the idea
that because gravity slows time, that its this slowing of time that
expands space. Its testable and gives the same predictions for
expanding space that is now observed.One of my postings where I
describe 2 contracting cubes inside of a space ship falling towards a
black hole is review for you here.For example if time is only about
1/10 of our time the cubes would have also contracted by 10 time less
their original widths note how they would be farther apart yet never
have moved form their original locations.Its like you had 2 cubes of
jellow set beside each other and let them dry out and contract.Note
how they also get farther apart but yet never moved from their
centers.Note that on the space ship we have 2 observers the ones on
the ship and the externals.People on the ship will argue that the
cubes moved apart and never changed in volume but our external outside
observers will argue that the cubes never moved they only contracted
and so becomes a relative thing much the same way time is.Since you
need mass to make gravity,things go to extremes with black holes so
its more obvious and with that the relations where you need mass to
make space, start to become apparent.
Its too much to reprint it all here again except briefly so look for
all my posting as you will find more in them than on the web site
www.alttheories.com as its incomplete but enough is there now to get
you started.
