From: Archimedes Plutonium on 2 May 2010 04:24 Alright I re-did the experiment. It is going to be more difficult to do this experiment during the tree growing seasons since all those leaves on trees will block my view of the eastbound headlights from Yankton going east. But I redid the experiment tonight, waiting for someone with their "bright lights turned on". I found that if the interior of the house is total dark, that the headlight is redshifted, with a caveat. That the angle of tilt of the fiberglass panels is important as to whether you see a redshift or not. One of my panels is not tilted properly and it appears white light from the headlight. But two of my panels are tilted enough that the redshift occurrs. Now when I turn on an interior light of a perpendicular directed lamp from the fiberglass panels there appears a permanent redshift in the fiberglass as a result of this interior light turned on. And in earlier posts where I described the redshift of distant cars with a cm measure, that was inaccurate because that redshift was due to the interior light source being on, not to the far away car headlights. So when I have an interior light perpendicular to the fiberglass, I have a permanent redshift of that light appearing in the fiberglass. If I have no interior lighting then the cars headlights are redshifted if the panels are tilted properly. I would guess a 10 degree tilt from normal or a 80 degree when it should be 90 degrees. So the redshift occurs and is due to geometry and some complex refraction of light. Sorry if I said "diffraction" for I meant refraction to yield the redshift. This is mighty important to physics and cosmology because until now we have assumed the redshift of galaxies, or Hubble's law was due to the expansion of the universe from a Big Bang explosion. But in this experiment, we can see that simply geometry of the Cosmos yields the redshift and that no explosion is needed. Why impose a explosion with galaxies moving or carried by Space at speeds greater than the speed of light, whereas a far more simple explanation is that the Cosmos has some geometrical arrangement that matches the fiberglass panels of my window.
