From: Archimedes Plutonium on 2 May 2010 23:52 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.
