Now you are saying light years and not years, so I will assume that
way a typo in your earlier posts.

Oops, there you go again... is it years or light years? Do you
know the difference?

Then it is wrong. Thanks for playing.

You understand neither the cosmic distance ladder cosmologists use or the
Tolman surface brightness test.

Yes.

The standard version of Hubble's law is v = H_0 * D.

H = 21 km/sec/Million Light Years

I'm suggesting a different version v = H_0 * t

H = 21 km/sec/Million Years

See how the standard view is to think of the expansion of the Universe
proportional to distance, but thinking of the Universe expanding
proportionally with time is mathematically equivalent?

Tired light fails the surface brightness test and light curve time
dilation because it fails to account for the duration of light's
journey increasing proportionally with the distance it has to travel.

The Big Bang model and my model both account for the increased
duration, (a cold hard prediction) which I suggest is what these tests
are detecting, and not necessarily the expansion of space
(speculation).

Again, recall that Hubble's Law is in terms of distance, but there is
a mathematical equivalent in terms of time.

Well, following that train of thought (dangerous, I know) is why can't
we think of the inverse square law as the duration squared, instead of
the distance?

There should be a mathematical equivalent.

Well, yes, that would be good and all, as long distance and duration
remain in lockstep, maintaining a constant speed.

And that is true in the Big Bang. As duration increases, so does
distance, and the inverse square law is equal whether you use duration
or distance.

But my model suggests that the duration increases while the distance
stays the same.

Now the inverse square law in terms of distance is going to give a
different answer than the inverse square law of the duration.

It seems entirely possible that when Hubble's Law and the Inverse
Square Law are written in terms of time, not distance, that because my
hypothesis and the expansion hypothesis yield the same durations (cold
hard prediction), they would predict the same surface brightness (yes,
I'm guessing).

And yet, what is accepted and what I am suggesting are mathematically
equivalent, are they not?
