From: Archimedes Plutonium on
Tonight I repeated the experiment with a corrugated blue tinted
fiberglass sheet. This
is the type of sheet one uses for patio roofing or shed roofing that
lets in the light. It
is translucent and opaque.

So on the bright white street lights there was no shifting involved
but I could see
some violet color.

Onto the highway with oncoming white light headlights. They were white
with some
blue color. On the red taillight it was red throughout. And it did
vanish about 1 or 2 km
away.

Which got me to thinking about redshift of very distant galaxies.
Seems to me that theory
would say that there is a point at which a redshift luminosity makes
the light source
vanish. Speculate with me on this. Consider a very bright white light
flashlight and seen
from a distance. But if far enough away, that white light has not the
brightness and the
flashlight cannot be seen at all because of the distance.

So if these far away galaxies are redshifted lights, would not their
luminosity be so weak
that they never reach Earth to observe? So that there comes a distance
and a redshift
of the galaxies where we cannot observe them due to the attenuation of
the light source
itself.

So what I am arguing is a case of my previous post where I said that
the ring in the third

Is perhaps the edge of the Cosmos and all the layers thereafter are
really closer to us
than the ring in the 3rd layer.

Just as the oncoming white lights are redshifted by the fiberglass
greenhouse panel, that
the 4th, 5th, 6th and beyond layers of Jarrett's mapping are actually
closer to Earth than
is the 3rd layer.

So, has any physicist, has any astronomer ever asked themselves the
question, can we
really be seeing such distant galaxies and quasars so immensely
redshifted, that would not
their light have vanished due to the drop in light intensity.

I guess some physicists and astronomers feel that light intensity goes
on infinitely far without
and loss in luminosity and that we should always see it.

And here we raise the issue of Quasars. They are supposedly very far
away because of
their redshift. But for my panel fiberglass experiment, the worst
redshift is the closest
white light headlight coming towards me.

So with my experiment on fiberglass, I would say the Quasars are some
of the closest
galaxies to Earth and instead of being beyond the Sloan Great Wall,
the Quasars are
probably in the vicinity of the Local Group of galaxies since their
luminosity is so bright
yet their redshift is so large.

So, I stumbled tonight on the very best supporting evidence that the
Cosmic redshift is
due to Refraction and not due to a alleged Expansion with Doppler.
