If the speed of light is constant,

It isn't, so you can forget that.

Hubble's Law says a galaxy's apparent recessional velocity is
proportional to the distance it's light traveled to reach us:

v = H * D.
H = 21 km/sec/Million Light Years

If a galaxy's apparent recessional velocity is 2100 km/sec, we can
figure out that its light traveled a distance of 100 million light
years to reach us.

We also know that light traveled a duration of 100 million years.

Follow the pattern, and you'll see that it also must be true that a
galaxy's apparent recessional velocity is proportional to the duration
of light's journey across the cosmos to our telescopes, which is given
by the following equation:

v = H * t
H = 21 km/sec/Million Years
t = the time light has been traveling since emitted in units of
millions of years

As far as I'm concerned, Mike, you haven't shown anything. No
publications, no work that is self consistent and holds together,
nothing of substance on USENET. Further more, almost everything
you post is wrong.

There are a number of poster's who have attempted to get you
to examine your ideas, but you are resistant to learning any
real physics. You are not alone, at least on USENET.

Treat yourself to a physics course at a university near you this
fall. Go at it with the intent of really learning something new.
Put your cosmology "models" on hold and learn some fundamentals.

To first order... a galaxy's apparent recessional velocity is
proportional to the distance!

Take a look at the more rigorous calculations behind Ned Wright's
cosmological calculator.
http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html

There are similar in the for of apps for the iPod/iPad/iPhone.
As distances increase... well play with the calculator and see
for yourself.

I gave 3 mathematical models that calculated the duration of light's
journey from a distant galaxy to our telescopes for my model, tired
light, and the Big Bang.

Tired Light didn't predict any increase in that duration (t=5000),
where my model and the Big Bang showed equal increases (t=5009).

Can I least get credit for demonstrating that?

Explaining the significance of those predictions is going to be pretty
tough if you deny that I've made them.
