mitchgrav@hotmail.com - 12 Apr 2008 22:23 GMT
Atronomers observe the most distant objects to be 13 billion light
years away. The universe had to expand first to get those objects out
to that distance. I call it distance motion of spatial expansion. Then
we have to wait for light to traverse expanding space on its way back.
Because space is growing it is going to take longer.

Mitch, you know even less than I do.  And I did not qualify to get
into high school physic, only "modern science", ie "how soap bubbles
work, etc.
But you see I am here only as a troll, and a very successful one.  I
nonsense that sounds good enough to make the regulars here, especially
Uncle Al, feel they have to refute it.
You sound like your trying to do stuff like me, but your serious and
I'm just kidding.  And your posts are very superficial like the above
post.  They remind me of Donald Sutherland (as a pot smoking
professor)  regaling a bunch of freshman about how atoms might be
little solar systems with inhabited planets.

What is the effect of light travelling in a space that is expanding?

It is red shifted or expanded as it moves through the expanding space
- expanding with it. This is identical to the red shift that it would
have if it were moving away (into preexisting space)

The galaxies are not moving away. Instead space is expanding. But the
effect of red shift must be identical or we do not have any means of
knowing where anything is at. In other words expanding light redshift
has to be exactly equivalent to motions red shift in order for us to
have any map.

I call this an Equivalence Principle: Expanding space red shifts light
in an identical way to a motion red shift that would come from
distance/speed.

It gets stretched or red shifted by expanding space so slow that it
takes 13 billion years for the largest expansion shift.

Take one BB ( Quantum Point conversion) convert a portion of the QP
into Physical Particles of Anti Matter and Matter, run those into each other
causing short inflation phase, Note the remaining energy not converted
continues to exist as a Inverse Tensor between all Physical Particles and
you have an ever expanding universe expanding at an ever increasing rate
of expansion. To model mathematically you must make up stuff to fit what
is observed like UGC, Hubble Constant, Infinity and Multi-Dimensions and
the like... Its all much simpler than many conceive.

The only thing that makes any sense to me is modelling length
probabilistically.  I just cant visualize spacebending very easily
using the standard methods. Using probability really simplifies things
IMO.

 I prefer travelers shrinking local universes under 'constant boost'
(constant power) propulsion. Contracting a local universe, or any number of
local universes, gets them where they are going quicker (actually gets them
there, period). Of course when they decelerate -- slow down -- toward
arrival, the local universe expands up from the prior contraction of space
and time, as does their destination point in it (be it galaxy, solar system,
world, gas station....) expand up as well.

Imagine a plane. Ordinarily, all of the points exist with probability
1.

But if you allow this probability to vary from place to place, then
the "expected length" must be either compressed or contracted.

You can model _everything_ this way, and even incorporate this view
with some dynamics without too much difficulty.

You can very easily:
[1] conclude that space is "indeterminately either continuous or
discrete".
[2] easily explain anomalous precession of perihelion of Mercury.
[3] should be able to reconcile Bohr and deBroigle atoms
[4] explains dark matter
[5] explains redshifting
[6] explains spacebending
etc etc etc

I think b is more accurate.

Disproven by simple experiment.  Use the Moon as a shutter for high z
sources.  If they become eclipsed later than they should, then light
is slowed down.

Even more stringent was Kopeikin's "speed of gravity" experiment,
where Jupiter was used as a shutter, a pulsar was used as the light
source, an nanosecond timers were applied.

E = hf

Have we considered the possibility that not only would light lose
velocity, but how it acted under gravity would be pretty different
too?

I'm guess anything moving slow enough would crash into the back of the
moon if it came anywhere in the local vicinity of the moon..

Or, just pass right through it and show up as the CMB.

This one simple mechanism eliminates expansion, inflation, dark
energy, and adjustable parameters and other mechanisms

It's overwhelmingly elegant compared to the Big Bang.

And all if have to accept is one simple little fact:

FACT: Like Newtonian physics, Relativistic physics has limits.

We'll soon acknowledge that distances of about 650,000,000 light years
are where it starts to break down.

The point is, there is no anomalous eclipse.  High z, low z, they
all eclipse on schedule... including the CMBR (most likely).
(Hard to look for a 3K hole in a ~273K background)

Doesn't help.  Expansion is not a problem for GR, nor
uniformly-distributed Dark Energy, but Dark Matter and Dark
Energy only at certain scales is.

No, it breaks down below the scale of a molecule, and much beyond
our solar system.  Dark Matter lets it cover all the observed
galaxies, but not superclusters.

Waving a hand and saying "well it is all approximation anyway"
just doesn't help.

Keep in mind that redshift agrees with expansion, duration of
supernovae agrees with expansion, intensity agrees with
expansion.

1) z of up to 3 and change, no anomaly.  With the Moon, 1.3
seconds is normal one-way time.  A z of 3 could make that trip
(1+z) * 1.3 = 5.2 seconds.  We could essentially "see through"
the Moon for 3.9 seconds, while other objects would be blanked
out.
2) Hard to look for a 3K hole in a ~273K background.  The CMBR is
only 3K and the Moon is much hotter than this.  It wipes out the
CMBR's signal.  Unfortunate, because with a z of over 1000...
3) Even more stringent was Kopeikin's "speed of gravity"
experiment, where Jupiter was used as a shutter, a pulsar was
used as the light source, and nanosecond timers were applied.

The 1/r^2 intensity (number of photons per unit area, per unit
time) agrees with the distance arrived at by red shift alone.
They are as far away as we see them to be.  They "expanded" that
far away up until now.

In that case, the steady state universe was one model that has been
falsified.

Does that mean all other candidates and possibilities for non-
expansionary models are falsified?

No.

That's stupid.

NO, what is stupid is repeatedly bringing up the same idiocies over

wish, you aren't going to make the big bang theory go away with your
nonexistent knowledge of the subject.

You mean like posting Ned Wright's arguments against an old Tired
Light model, and assuming no Tired Light model can be made to fit.

The Big Bang model is falsified all the time, and adjustable
parameters like inflation are used to save it.

The problem is there is no tolerance for suggesting that expansion is
just an illusion.

It's an optical effect: space appears to expand, because light takes
longer to reach us. It could just slow down.

Nope - the basic hypothesis of the big bang model hasn't changed.

Nope - just no tolerance for discredited models.

Nope - read the tired light cosmology faq. Try to read it this time.

Or an unwavering belief in constancy of the speed of light even after
a billion light years.

I did. The supernovae argument could be addressed by adjusting for a
"Malmquist Type II" bias.

I *think* that means the supernova we witness far away are actually
bigger and stronger than we think they are because the weaker ones
fall off the observations. Or something like that.

The only argument on Ned's FAQ that I don't understand the Tolman
Surface Brightness test.

However, since that's allegedly much like the Light curve evidence
argument, the same bias in the data could exist there.

It fits the data. There would be obvious spectral broadening of
supernova light curves otherwise.

Bullshit. You have no idea what a Malmquist bias is or how it is
relevant. You still haven't figured out the Tolman surface brightness
test.

supposition from someone who needs to be *repeatedly* pointed to a FAQ

The only thing obvious to scientists is what they are looking for.

If they're looking for confirmation of the Big Bang, that's usually
what they'll find.

Let's find out if you can read for comprehension.

The original big bang hypothesis hasn't changed. At all. The inflation
hypothesis was added on to explain the extreme smallness of the
anisotropies in the background radiation as well as why the matter in
the universe appears to be pretty much isotropic.

Bzzt - wrong. That isn't how it works, as a casual read of the
literature would show.

Oh wait - you don't read the literature. Ever.

OTOH I feel like pretending to be a scientist and that means testing
the hypothesis. What was the last peer reviewed paper you read
pertaining to cosmology?

> If they're looking for confirmation of the Big Bang, that's usually

Yea, that microwave background that appears to permeate the universe
was Penzias' and Wilson's way of getting out of not wanting to clean
the pigeon sh.t out of the microwave antenna. They had friends on the
Nobel committee who helped cover their a.s, and the fraud has
perpetuated ever since.

Thank god you are the only one who knows the truth.

If scientists find only what they are looking for, the steady state
universe would be the current doctrine. Since you have zero influence
on the scientific community - much less this newsgroup - I encourage
you to continue repeating obvious stupidities for the entertainment
value it provides.

Would now be a bad time to remind you that you have no grasp of either
the current state of the field or any of its' history?

No comment?

Still can't explain how a Malmquist bias is relevant to this? I mean
sh.t, the Tolman surface brightness test is conceptually simpler than
the Malmquist bias and you couldn't get /that/ even with some intense
hand holding. Do you actually expect me to believe you haven't figured
out the Tolman test while having a firm grasp on the Malmquist bias?

"longcat is long" is a meme.
"lulz" is a meme.

Ok. You can organize names in all sorts of configurations that make
sense.

Bottom line:

The hypothesis for the history of the Universe has changed to conform
to observations.

I never said "only". I said they "usually".

As in commonly.

Rare exceptions become legends, as you have pointed out.

I never said I had a firm grasp on any physics concept.

I said "I think that means" and then provided what I think.

It's certainly open for a discussion.

Which you haven't expanded on at all, while setting your sights on my
personal shortcomings.

Thank you for your expert contribution.

The idea that science is not a meme is also a meme.

The scientific method is a process of conjecture and refutation based
on solving problems by conjecturing a variety of solutions and
selecting them through criticism and experiment.

Mutation and selection.

It's Darwinian. It's evolution.

Coincidentally, memetics is the Darwinian mutation and selection of
ideas.

See the connection?

Science isn't just a meme.

It's a bonafide memeplex.

Sure.

Are you aware that Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts
that the universe should collapse under the attraction of gravity, yet
those calculations took place before we discovered or even considered
other galaxies beyond the Milky Way?

That discovery would confirm that for the most part those galaxies are
in fact collapsing in on themselves.

This is all fairly secondary to the issues at hand.

OK, do you have a Tired Light model that DOES fit?
Do you have a TL model that doesn't need any /ANY/ any ad-hoc
modifications and fits ALL the evidence?

Including the evidence that Alpha (the Fine Structure Constant) has been
constant to <1 part in 10E-4 over the last 12 billion years.
The speed of light and Alpha are linked - so if Alpha hes not changed
over cosmological timescales, it is unlikely that the speed of light has
changed either.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but if you are right, you will need to
provide real hard specific arguments to explain why the Alpha constant
(and by corollary the speed of light) has shown no evidence of systemic
change over moderately long periods of time.

Einstein's equation is wrong. h is such a tiny quantity as to reduce
the energy of light to something impossibly small. This is cleaqrly
wrong.

SO they set H-bar to One.

You're talking about the energy of a single photon.

A single photon doesn't have enough energy to excite the rods and
cones in the eye.

On the surface, that doesn't seem like a problem to me.

Yes, by the eye, I meant the average human eye.

The frog's eye, unlike ours, can generate an electrical impulse from
just one photon.

We are assuming, given the difficulty (impossibility) of knowing it's
conscious experience for sure, that if its brain receives an
electrical impulse, it sees it.

Before the supposed singular BB, there was supposedly just our one and

exist.  Each of these galaxies has a fairly horrific gravity/tidal
radius of several thousand light years (perhaps at least as great as
64r, if not 128r), not to mention the mutual attraction of whatever a
pair or more of these bad boys has to work with, whereas you might
like to further reconsider the mutual gravity/tidal binding grasp of
two or more such encounters is perhaps worth 4X the individual tidal
radius. (hard to avoid gravity, especially when it’s the only game in

"The basic aspect of this writing is simple. We exist within the

such any device we build, every piece of material we dig from the
ground, every thing we use to observer the universe is connected from
the observer to that which is being observed and attempted to be

The problem here is that a box sequestered mindset does us little if
any good.

I too accept the BB and perceived expansion, although not necessarily
via the singular BB, because God or whatever may have had multiple
stored farts to get rid of.

I think there are other universes out there, at least an opposite
dipole other version of our universe to behold, of which might greatly
if not entirely explain the required balance that the laws of physics
typically demands.

I see it a bit differently..  It does you no good if you do not
recognize your in a box. But if you recognize you May be in a
box, even though you cannot observe it you can Theorize the
construct of the box by the effect of the box on what you observe.
All I am suggesting is that we may very well be in a box and not
recognize it so we and any models we build of what we do know
May be Intrinsically Biased.

The Box analogy only goes a little of the way as being inside the
universe and connected via the Quantum State the Box, so to speak,
is in Us and around us and an integral part of us, what we observe
and any device we attempt to use to observe.

>I too accept the BB and perceived expansion,

I very well know my postulate is considered out of left field
to most but if you except the construct of a BB then if you
look closely you will not that the postulate gives logical explanation
for not only expansion by inflation and that the expansion rate will
increase as it expands, explains a different mind set on the basic
nature of observable matter that contends that existing physical
laws remain intact, All this while giving a very simple structure with
an elegant design that would self organize.

>although not necessarily

Again no need for gods and farts in the postulate it follows energy/matter
conversion that was the basic concept of Einstein's E=mc^2

I point to the Intrinsic Bias concept, using it there is no balance required
as all laws can be simple EM wave interactions across a connected
quantum state and matter can be understood as a Primal Particle that
produces a EM wave through the connected inverse tensor of the QS.

I have little doubt that our universe has us boxed in, perhaps in much
thje same as a black hole has its event horizon that's keeping all of
whatever within.  Even the box like containment of our own galaxy is
likely going to keep us from ever looking back at ourselves.

If there's less than one atom/ly3 and perhaps no other dark matter or
dark energy outside of our universe, I can fully understand and
appreciate the ongoing expansion.

Don't be so certain or absolute as to what a great deal of ET
intelligent design couldn't pull off, especially if they were as
Einstein smart and given unlimited space, energy and matter to work
with.

I still like to think there's a radial clone of another universe
that's somewhat tethered to us by a quantum string of dark energy and
dark matter, somewhat like a mutual graviton/tidal radial link, of
which this conjecture shouldn't bother your postulate because each
universe is still fully independent and unavoidably expanding as based
upon your postulate, that is unless there's a cosmic reset by way of
recombining everything back into that SMBH, only to eventually implode
and restart by giving birth to creating two or more universes.

Of course, this still leaves us forever sequestered within a Einstein
or God box, so to speak.

Expansion is imaginary.

That makes big bang, inflation, dark matter, dark energy guilty by
association.

Then perhaps it's just us shrinking ???

It seems that at least once upon a time there was as least one BB, if
not many.

It equally seems deductive enough, to consider that external to our
Universe there's less than one atom/ly3.

So, why wouldn't or shouldn't cosmic stuff expand?

OK, is there something special or trick worthy about that
announcement?

Obviously, even a very little bang represents inflation, however not
sustained unless it's expanding by way of being sucked out into less
than nothing.

If all of the original SMBH of all matter is converted into energy,
thus expanding or rather radiating as pure energy out into the
nothingness at the velocity of 'c', inflating into where only other
universes coexist, perhaps only then can we consider a forever
expansion possible.

However, even if you discover the holy grail of "space expansion", in
another couple thousand years (if the human species is still any part
of Earth), it isn't going to matter either way.
