Did you forget that is a scientific postulate, possibly with a limited
domain of applicability, not a Universal and Absolute truth protected
by taboo!

And you are reinventing electromagnetic theory to support your latest
uneducated guess about how the universe works, all the while demonstrating
your complete ignorance of basic observational astronomy.

One can measure the spectra of a light source directly and then
reflected by a mirror and see that the spectra are identical.

Do the experiment Mike! It doesn't matter if the light source is
cosmic or in the lab. The mirror doesn't change the spectra.

I can see the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with my naked eye, at 2.5 Mly.
What's another 20 times that?

Don't forget other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. We have
gamma, x-ray, UV, visible IR, microwave and radio telescopes. None
of them alter the wavelength of the "light" they collect.

Did you forget it is a measured constant! I hate to say this Mike,
but you really put up a resistance to credible information and
learning. Why is that? Did you fail some classes?
