You get negative credit for continuing to talk about tired light as if it
were a viable theory.

Actually, I'm demonstrating that tired light is wrong and not part of
a general class of hypotheses that can show the increase in duration,
a general class of hypotheses that includes both the Big Bang and my
model.

The increase in duration is the reason behind the observed
cosmological redshift in frequency and the falloff in surface
brightness (if the intensity may be calculated inversely proportional
to the square of the duration).

Like I said, I can work up the models in any computer language you
prefer.

I have worked with graduate students that tried to convince me
that such and such was so... because the computer program said
it was!

Being a programmer does not make you a scientist.

Did you forget that the speed of light is a defined constant!

Look at the light spectra! Diffraction grating will do.

What ever gave you that the wavelength was shifted by a mirror?
You really need to take a freshman physics class.

Your computer algorithms are written by you and you don't
understand physics. The computer DID NOT correct your errors!

Wrong!

On cosmic scales space stretches increasing the wavelength.

What kind of nonsense is this!
