From: Archimedes Plutonium on
Well I repeated the experiment tonight, only outside of my house. For
I took a
single panel 127 cm by 34 cm and about a thickness of 1 to 1.5
millimeters.

Now I do not know how science of optics describes these panels.
Whether they
are translucent for they are not clear, and whether they are opaque
and the difference
between opaque and translucent. They are fiberglass and you can see
white streaks
inside. And if I held a sheet of paper with handwriting on it, if held
up close to the
panel, one can read the writing but at a tiny distance away, the
writing is too blurred
to read.

The panel comes from a small greenhouse, much like a small shed bought
in
Lowes lumber yard. The greenhouse could not stand up to the South
Dakota
winds so I cut it and use it inside the house. It is this use that I
began to notice
redshifting of auto headlights.

So I took this panel outside the house for I was getting too much in
house reflections
that was creating a redshift. So to eliminate the in house reflection
and refraction
causing redshift, I went to the side of the road and to conduct the
experiment directly
on the autos and headlights.

Immediately I spotted all the white light headlights were redshifted
coming towards me.
Only when the autos were close by, could I see any white light from
their headlights.
When they were at a far distance these white lights were redshifted,
and their was
a maximum redshift at a specific distance. This is the same distance
at which the
opposite traffic exposing their taillights of red vanished from view
in the panel.

So in other words, when a car's taillights of red are in view of my
panel, I see a
bright red in the panel but at a select distance away, the auto red
light vanishes
in the panel and is black, but removing the panel, I still see the red
light.
And it is this distance at which is the maximum redshifting of the
oncoming white
light.

Now the tilting of the panel has some role in the lateral spreading
out of the redshift
but not of the intensity of the redshift. Now if I tilted the panel to
becoming more and
more parallel to the road itself, there was a point at which the
whitelight was able to
be seen instead of the predominant redshift.

So now, this is proof that the Cosmic Redshift, need not be a Doppler
Effect of an
expanding Universe wherein Space is moving at the speed of light or
greater and carrying
along with it the galaxies.

In fact, this experiment points out that the speed of an object is
immaterial in causing a
redshift, because the white headlights should be blueshifted, yet none
were blueshifted.
All were redshifted.

So what this experiment implies is that the Geometry of the Cosmos, or
the curvature of the
Cosmos, or perhaps, the opaqueness of the Cosmos causes a redshift.

I returned inside my house to see to what extent that reflections off
walls plays in the redshift
and had a lamp near a white painted wall surface. The lamp itself was
white and not redshifted
but the reflection of the white light on the nearby surface was
redshifted. So to some extent,
reflected light can be redshifted and I do not know the physical
explanation of how the interior
walls can reflect the light so that the fiberglass panels cause a
redshift.

And I tried experimenting with obtaining a blueshift. I took a white
light lamp and I vigorously
waved the sheet back and forth, and I suspect I obtained a blueshift,
however it was
too small to be assured.

The implications of this experiment are grand, because it offers a
more simple explanation
of Cosmic Redshift of galaxies. An explanation that does not depend on
the speed of galaxies,
nor their distance, nor a convoluted concept of Space in motion.

In fact, we can probably decipher what the curvature of Space or the
opaqueness of space,
or the width of Space is from the redshift data. If we have enough
reliable redshifts and the
motion of those bodies derived not from Hubble's style law, but
derived from other tests of
motion, that we should be able to describe the geometry and curvature
of Space.


So what I suspect will happen is that we can gather the data of cosmic
redshift and gather the
data of the motion of astro bodies, without the reliance on redshift,
but the motion derived
by other means. And then we can compute what the curvature or width or
the geometry of
Space has to be in order to have the redshift that we currently have.
