Unfortunately, for you, I can't get you to look at the evidence. You would rather be defiant and live in your ignorance.

Basic mistake, Michael, indicating a lack of understanding of how to make measurements. The half-life of U235 is a *measured* 704 million years. Now, care to guess how that measurement is done, since it obviously wasn't done by waiting around for 704 million years? > > Hubble redshift on the other hand is a directly measured phenomena in > light that was actually emitted millions of years ago. > > I say in Hubble Redshift we are looking directly at a loss of > frequency, loss of energy, and a loss of speed over the millions of > years. > > You say we are looking at a loss of frequency and energy, and an > increase in wavelength. > > I say the wavelength is increased when the speed is restored after the > light is absorbed and re-emitted. > > My conclusions are the necessary result of this formula, v = c - Ht. > > When the light is absorbed and re-emitted, t goes back to 0 because t > represents how long light has been traveling since being emitted. > > What my formula demands is confirmed by direct observations. > > > >> Physics FAQ: What is the experimental basis of special relativity? > > >> http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html > > Show me an experiment that last for millions of years, and I'll accept > that we directly measure the speed of light after millions of years. > > In the meantime, it might be worth preparing yourself for the > realization that SR does not have a Universal domain. > > Hubble redshift is direct evidence that the light cone of an observer > doesn't not stretch indefinitely out like a martini glass: > > \ / > \ / > \/ > > Instead it curves out, producing Hubble redshift, like a wine glass > > | | > \ / > | | > \ / > \ / > \/ > > This means at huge distances, some light cones may never intersect > (which is true whether the expansion of space is act work or if the > light simply has a finite range).

My hypothesis is that the light loses speed at cosmological distances between interactions. Whatever device one sets up to measure light, it will be interacting with the light at the beginning and the light at the end. And this distance in between isn't cosmological. Hubble redshift is direct empirical evidence that the light slows down.

You don't know what you are talking about, Mike. Find a new hobby.

When the light passes through that device, at the quantum level it is absorbed and re-emitted by the electrons in the device. The hypothesis dictates the light only travels slower than c as cosmological scales between interactions. Since the electrons in the prism are not separated by a cosmological, the light travels at c, according the formula. Since the redshifted frequency and energy isn't magically recovered, the wavelength (which requires no energy) does match up to c = f * w. That is exactly what we observe from light coming out of the prism. Again, not the accepted theory, but in agreement with observation none- the-less. > Reflect the sunlight with a mirror before the diffraction grating > and on gets identical spectra. > > The same is true for any other star or galaxy.
