And light does scatter off the dust it interacts with on the way. That, however, is accounted for and does not account for the red-shift observed. You perhaps also know that stars in the same galaxy show differential redshift that corresponds to their motion in the galaxy. Now perhaps you'd argue that the light from the stars on one side of the galaxy are obviously more tired than the light from the other side of the galaxy. > > > > > > >> Currently, religious fanatics of all persuasions are united behind Einstein > >> because he alone has provided the vital link between science and their various > >> belief systems, ie., that their various imaginary gods 'made the earth in seven > >> days'. > > >> No doubt all conventional religions would be now struggling to survive had > >> Einstein not concocted his famous second postulate. > > >> The question arises, WAS...or more precisely """IS""" EINSTEIN himself the > >> actual one and only illusive GOD?

Internal 'tired light' redshifts are pretty negligible. More important are the distances of source and observer from the galactic centre. We lie on the ourtskirts of the Milky Way. Average cosmic light is emitted from near the centres of galaxies and arrives at Earth at <c. It is further redshifted for that reason. >> >> Currently, religious fanatics of all persuasions are united behind Einstein >> >> because he alone has provided the vital link between science and their various >> >> belief systems, ie., that their various imaginary gods 'made the earth in seven >> >> days'. >> Henry Wilson... ........Einstein's Relativity...The religion that worships negative space.

So if you multiple the wavelength of light obtained by a diffraction grating times the frequency of light obtained via a waveguide / bolometer, you think it will show more than, less than, or exactly c?
