1. Big Bang, v = HD, the light encounters expanding distances
2. Zwicky's Tired Light Model, the light loses energy
3. My model, v = c - Hd, light has a finite range and loses velocity

In model #2, if a galaxy is 50 million light years away, its light
will take 50 million years to get here.

In models #1 and #3, it will take the light longer than 50 million
years to get because it encounters expanding distances (#1) or slows
down (#3).

That increase in the duration of light's journey through cosmological
space is consistent between #1 and #3 and leads to a decrease in
frequency and time dilation in light curves.

While the duration of light's journey from deep space to Earth is
consistent between #1 and #3, the distance the light actually traveled
is going to be greater in model #1, which would lead to a decrease in
the force of gravity between celestial objects.

Other differences would between #1 and #3 is that in #3, without the
expansion of space, there is no rewind to the Big Bang 14ish billion
years ago, giving the Universe and indefinite age allowing for all the
large scale walls and voids we observe, and the CMB would simply be
light coming from the edge of the Hubble Sphere where light is facing
the end of its range

Sam, I will have to say, I am genuinely happy about your response.

But these days I'm leaning toward redshift being a function of the
duration of light's journey from a distant galaxy to our telescopes.

That might be inconsequential to the Big Bang theory, which presumes a
1 to 1 relationship between the duration of light's journey and a
distance of light's journey, but to my theory there are profoundly
different results, which seems to eliminate the need for
"acceleration" of expansion.

But I can't say more on that until I've worked out more of the
calculations required to justify such claims.

Look at the evidence!

That has been shown to be wrong--I've been meaning to write in this
newsgroup some detail as to the arguments and the evidence, but that's
going to have to wait till the rest of my classes finish up.

In the mean time look at the evidence for the big bang.
