![]() ![]() So this hinges on older models of the speed of light, independent of the space-time itself. The assumptions made by theory of relativity make this even more crazy - in relativity, speed of light is basically the maximum speed of propagation of information. ![]() Combined with the proposed age of ~6000 years for the universe, with humans from the very beginning, this is just absurd. Slowing of light would have huge effects on every interaction in the universe - which would mean that even things like water wouldn't be stable over time, they would change their behaviour rather a lot. Interacting photons would not explain why the red-shift is correlated with distance either. Even though there is a certain preference for photons to fill in similar states, this mostly manifests as a tendency for self-collimation. ![]() Yes, photons are losing energy, that's why they're red-shifted. With the exception of - the expansion of space itself. Photon interaction - never been observed, doesn't really play well with accepted theories of electro-magnetism and photons. And of course, the effect is only at work when you're in the gravitational well - this would imply that the Sun is again at the center of everything, with everything else orbitting around it. Gravitation of course does have effect on wavelength, but it's by far not enough for common stars, much less planets. stars in our galaxy orbit around its center, including us. That's extremely Sun-centric, and doesn't really work if you accept that e.g. I can see how this would be a worthwile explanation for a creationist, but it doesn't really make much sense building just on physics.ĭoppler Effect has the same issue - it assumes that every star we can see moves in a speed proportional to distance with respect to us. Stellar motion would imply we're in the place where the Big Bang occurred while everything else is speeding away from us. ![]()
