Why would a finitely sized Universe have an infinite force?

Wouldn't that mean that part of the Universe is more Universal than
the Universe itself?

Here's a better solution:

Because light with infinite wavelength fits into a match box.

Why do we observe a finite number of stars in a finitely sized space,
and never question the infinite range of electromagnetic force?

Electricity doesn't have an infinite range maybe not magnetism either.
The range of gravity depends on mass though it may be universal. We
never hear of electric force going very far. I think it must dwinndle
to infinitely small rather quickly.

We can't have a big enough charge for the electric charge to go really
macroscopic.

You do realize the light (which we see coming from billions of light

But for all we know, that could be all the we can see
and there could be bbillions of yrs further out there.
We have no proof that lightwaves go on infinitely.a
and of course, we can't actually prove that because we would
have to travel an infinite amount of distance to do such.

The EM field for matter has poles and charges. Light does not.

If you can come up with a model of the EM that has finite range and
can agree with all observations about nature, you're welcome to do
so.  Inverse square fields suggest a massless gauge particle (photon).
Even if the photon had a mass, the range would still be theoretically
infinite, but would fall off fast enough to have an effective finite
range.  Such deviations from Maxwell's equations have yet to be
detected, but it's certainly not for lack of trying.

Hubble redshift is one such deviation.

We step around it by inventing extra space for the light to travel
through.

But that's not really what's going on.

Actually we do question it. It is, of course, intimately connected
with the 1/r^2 dependence of the law. This is the same 1/r^2
dependence that appears in Newton's law of gravity, and the power of r
is the ONLY part of the law that isn't an immediate implication of
other laws. And in fact, Newton and Coulomb both ascertained that
power via experimental evidence.

However, precisely because the power is not obvious, this number 2 has
been thoroughly tested to very high precision. While we still to this
day do not have sound reason for it to be *exactly* 2, we have done
enough tests to know that it is darn close to 2. And in fact it is
closer to 2 than what would be suggested by the finite range of the
observable universe.

Some additional familiarity with the experimental evidence is in
order.

Science is good at answering "What would happen if" types of
scenarios. Hypotheticals.

Use your imagination and tell me, what would happen if the EM force
had a finite range?

It actually died out there in the cosmos.

What would the Universe look like?

We'd see a finite number of stars in a space of a finite size.

Mike science is not and never ever will be an exercise of imagination.
It makes no difference what you imagine unless it matches observation.
This is just further proof you have no right to post in physics
groups. Especially when we combine this with you inability to solve
Calculus 1 problems.

Now please go away until you learn something or decide to grow even an
infantile intellect.

Clue: in a Universe where light has a finite range, we would observe a
finite number of galaxies in finite space.

Light bulb: a finite range for the EM force does match observation!

  No!

  Gravitation and the electromagnetic force have no range limits. Whether
  the Universe if infinite or not is unobservable. The observable universe
  has finite momentum-energy (i.e., a finite number of atoms, stars and
  galaxies).

  The WMAP data give the most precise values for the density of ordinary
  [baryonic] matter made of protons and neutrons: 0.4 yoctograms per cubic
  meter, and for the total of dark and baryonic matter: 2.5 yoctograms per
  cubic meter. These correspond to omega_b = 0.0224 +/- 0.0009 and
  omega_m = 0.135 +/- 0.009.

you give it a try.

X^2+4x+4

Please Mike factor that expression for me.

Or maybe you can provide me with the quadratic formula.
Lets see if you can do basic algebra.

If you can do that you'll be moving in the right direction with a long

Or try this:

Is the form of what type of equation? Hint: the answer words begin

Of course since Calc 1 is beyond you. You really have no room to talk

Forget about modeling a finite range EM force and trying to make it
jibe with observation of the universe.  It contradicts the results of
practically any tabletop experiment you could perform already.  No
fantasies are required.

If the range begins to die out after a few hundred million light
years, it would require a pretty big table top to falsify the new
model.

How would you know? You can't ascribe anything to your "model" past
qualitative details that mean whatever you want them to mean.

I realize you're only authorized to think about what has been
published in a peer review journal.

But sometimes others ideas can make sense too.

Have you thought enough about calculus to understand the basic

an integral of trig functions?

But Maxwell's equations pass every test you can put to them on a
fairly small table top.  Deviations corresponding to finite photon
mass do not seem to occur.  And even though they may be there, it
would probably only require stronger fields to detect them, providing
they were there.  Galactic sized table tops need not be necessary.

Cue Mike claiming he accepts the massless photon, then repeats his
nonsense. Com-f.cking-pletely oblivious to everything.

For fun, ask him if he has ever solved Maxwell's equations. Or learned
what spherical harmonics are. Or done an integral.

What I find to be amazing is that he claims to be a programmer and yet
he has no idea of how to do basic calculus. Nor can he write a program
to solve a basic calculus problem. It makes me think he really isn't a
programmer, he's more of a pseudo programmer. Even so the fact that he
is so lazy so as not to notice that there are websites that will solve
that problem for you, it astounds me. Yet here is posting.

And Newton's equations pass every test within its domain of
applicability.

My claim is that Hubble redshift is not just a loss in frequency and
energy, it's a loss in velocity.

Hubble redshift doesn't appear locally.

Local tests aren't enough to falsify cosmological models.

In my model photon's don't have mass.

That doesn't mean they have a mass of 0.

It means mass doesn't apply to them.

Here's my rough model:

define class absolutePhoton as Custom

    x = 0
    c = 10
    totalEnergy    = 10^5

    function move

        this.x = this.x + this.c

        * As the photon moves it loses energy
        this.totalEnergy =  this.totalEnergy - this.c

        if mod(this.totalEnergy, 10^4) = 0  and this.c > 0
            this.c = this.c - 1
        endif

    return

enddefine

As you can see, I've completely re-written the concepts of energy,
inertia, space, time, and abandoned Newton's laws of physics.

The above code not only describes the photon in a completely non-
Newtonian framework (something no one else has done) but it predicts
Hubble redshift (loss in the energy being delivered).

It's not only the best quantum and relativistic model, it's the best
cosmological model.

The model suggests a deeper unification than what we previously
anticipated.

Dear Micheal,
If the photon has a loss of energy, it is actually what a
newtonian theory would predict.
The medium required in a newtonian theory would slow it down
at one point after all energy is distributed non linearly over the travel
distance.
(the -1)
Just like sound loses it's "sound energy".
and radio, lose it's energy over distance also.
:)
so... sorry.
It is basically Newtonian still in your model also.

That's hardly a model.  It's a program.  And trust me, as a subroutine
in real nature, your program would crash every time.

What I cannot see is what exists in apace that could slow down a
photon.  Besides, photons are defined as moving at c.  A massless
particle has no choice.

Apparently, what you fail to understand is that photons are already
non-Newtonian.  They're artifacts of quantum mechanics.

I'm saying that Hubble's redshift, despite our best efforts to avoid
admitting it, are observations that show the limits of the EM force,
arguing that Maxwell and Einstein are good theories but not Universal.

False. Tired Light models argue light loses energy through some form
of interaction in the cosmos.

They never argue that light slows down.

My suggestion is novel and leads to different consequences more
similar to expansion, such as a fall off in surface brightness.

In Einstein's physics.

But I'm arguing that, like Newton's laws of motions, space-time as it
stands is not Universally applicable.

Hubble redshift being the observational evidence.

Think of brane mechanics, and imagine the photon, like the graviton,
existing in a different brane than ours.

If "mass" is a measurement in our brane, and the photon's existence is
rooted in the boson brane, then mass doesn't apply to the photon.

This is a new framework for physical phenomena, better suited to hold
both QM and relativity.

As you can see below, there is a mathematical description for the
motion of a photon that uses energy and motion in a very
unconventional way, showing that inertia and conservation of energy of
appear initially, but aren't true throughout the entire evolution of
the algorithm.

I appeal to the Anthropic principle.

The Universe simply doesn't give us the tools to see all of infinity.

It's more concerned about having the tools to support the problems
that life encounters.

According to Einstein's physics.

I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm just saying that he's not Universal,
and Hubble redshift is an indication of a different physics.

Don't they obey the law of inertia?

That sounds Newtonian to me.

Except they are consistent with observation, regardless of whether
they evade your ability to understand or not.

Who the f.ck do you think you are kidding, Mike?

A few months ago when you started this latest wave of bullshit, I
asked you about the Tolman surface brightness test. For a month or
three, you admitted you didn't understand.

Then suddenly you find an arXiv article that a naive reading suggests
a (1+z)^-3 falloff in brightness. Then right around that time,
curiously enough, you started claiming your theory produces a
~(1+z)^-3 falloff. You were quick to claim a point in your favor,
since I was claiming that the falloff is as (1+z)^-4. But since you
didn't read the article, you didn't understand the context of what was
found.

I then pointed out to you why you were wrong and stupid as hell, and
you ran the hell away from that thread shortly after ignoring all my
points and then repeating your same stupidities uncorrected.

Then here you are again 3 weeks later claiming your model "predicts" a
falloff in brightness similar to expansion. Imagine that - your
"model" manages to "predict" whatever you want it to predict.

Isn't it odd that practically EVERYTHING you know about cosmology has
been taught to you by me?

Of course any /other/ evidence that disagrees with you and confirms
expansion will mysteriously either be ignored or will magically be
"passed" by your "model".

anymore because you are tired of me hammering home the fact that you

Those are so Newtonian.

Photons deserve to be something else.

I have a mathematical description of what that something else is:

define class absolutePhoton as Custom

    x = 0
    c = 10
    totalEnergy    = 10^5

    function move

        this.x = this.x + this.c

        * As the photon moves it loses energy
        this.totalEnergy =  this.totalEnergy - this.c

        if mod(this.totalEnergy, 10^4) = 0  and this.c > 0
            this.c = this.c - 1

False.

This is one of the primary Tired Light papers:

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/15/10/773.pdf

It describes some way besides expansion for light to lose energy.

It never mentions it loses velocity and dies.

Face it.

Slow Light is a new idea that I came up with.

There are an infinite number of galaxies out there, but their light
doesn't reach us because light has a finite range.

The infinitude of galaxies near the end of that range produces the
continuous smooth CMB, just above absolute 0 K.

The CMB is most elegantly described by new properties of light, not
the expansion of space which caused the Universe to grow out of a
cosmic egg.

I'm talking about Slow Light in a vacuum.

Since the code uses a constant value for c in distances less than a
Megaparsec, my Slow Light model reduces to SR exactly at distances
where Hubble Redshift is not observed.

That paper uses a reference to Zwicky's Tired Light paper that I
cited:

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/15/10/773.pdf

It demolishes the hypothesis.

But Zwicky suggests light loses energy through an interaction in the
cosmos, and *never* considers that it has a finite range or loses
velocity, the two innovations I've put forward.

Slow Light is a *novel* hypothesis.

When you read Zwicky's paper, acknowledge that he never suggests that

Of course this doesn't help you since you have admitted photons are
massless. And this paper is not verified.

http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/tiredlit.htm

If photons are massless there is no reason for them to lose energy
without interaction hence why light slows going through air. In space
this is not the case, so until you can explain how the light looses
energy, you've got nothing.

Your idea suffers from the same pitfalls as tiered light theory yours

Anthropic principle.

Light exists for the Universe to produce life.

Life needs to interact with its environment, and that happens through
light (not to mention light also helping to hold atoms and molecules
together).

Life doesn't need to interact with all infinity, so the Universe rules
those interactions out, almost as if its prioritizing its resources.

Light doesn't travel forever, space-time is an approximation of the
Universe at distances where Hubble redshift is not observed, but not
the Universe itself.

> Your idea suffers from the same pitfalls as tiered light theory yours
> is even more poorly thought out. So congrats on that.

No, the difference between Slow Light and Tired Light is decelerating
light causes a delay in the time it takes for the light to travel the
cosmological distances.

That delay is not predicted by Tired Light, but is observed as a
stronger falloff in surface area, and in light curves from supernova.

Wow way to miss the point. Of course not having a clue about cosmology

example of limited range EM force, which you claim is your pioneering

Which is not observed this deceleration or energy loss, sorry no. Not

Do you even know what that means, that little regurgitated nugget
there. Tired light is an alternated explanation for Red Shift. And any
theory that makes claims as to energy loss likes yours runs into the
issue that unless light is interacting with something such energy loss
is not observed. Of course you can't seem to grasp the idea of
massless. Nor provide me with why light loses velocity, besides to say
it does.

If old light differs from newly and locally emitted light in that the
product of the old light's frequency and wavelength is less than c,
until it's absorbed and re-emitted again, there must be some way to
detect it.

I haven't thought of it yet.

Because a photon energy and velocity is not classical, ie, doesn't
follow any of Newton's laws of motion.

This is how they work, confirmed by Hubble redshift:

define class absolutePhoton as Custom

    x = 0
    c = 10
    totalEnergy    = 10^5

    function move

        this.x = this.x + this.c

        * As the photon moves it loses energy
        this.totalEnergy =  this.totalEnergy - this.c

        if mod(this.totalEnergy, 10^4) = 0  and this.c > 0
            this.c = this.c - 1
        endif

    return

enddefine

Before the photon hits the threshold, it travels at the same speed and
delivers the same amount of energy consistently.

Which means this definition is consistent with SR and the conservation
of energy in that domain.

Beyond those thresholds the behavior of light changes, therefore our
observations of space and time or, we can say the properties of space-
time will have to change.

You continually refuse to either understand or believe that there is
no "mainstream" in physics that is above reproach.

Cosmology has been in upheaval since day-f.cking-one when Galileo
looked up at the sky and saw the moons of Jupiter. Eighty years ago
people thought nebulae were confined to our galaxy, sixty years ago we
had just figured out that fusion was the energy source of the sun,
forty years ago the CMB was discovered, twenty years ago the
anisotropies in the CMB were discovered, ten years ago gravitational
lensing was finally being used as a mass probe, five years ago there
was the WMAP data release that finally pinned down the major
cosmological parameters, two years ago we had the bullet cluster
royally piss off everyone who thought dark matter was bullshit.

The ENTIRE SUM of humanity's knowledge is at your fingertips. You
could teach yourself everything there is to know about cosmology from
the information accessible on the internet and a reasonably stocked
research library. Or just the internet if you are willing to pay for
journal access. There is no excuse for you to be this ignorant except
through laziness or stupidity.

Everything I know about cosmology I have taught myself in the last few
years, including general relativity. My physics education has made it
much easier but that's not even close to a requirement. There is no
reason you cannot do the same except for some personal reasons
intrinsic to yourself and probably family.

He is certainly trying to re-write the rules of electromagnetism.

But not the big bang or expansion of the Universe.

Finite Range of Light = Hubble Redshift

your ridiculous slowing down and finite range may work, you apparently

Well that's clever. You can't understand much less refute the

"mass" is a classical concept. Nevermind that photons are quantum

Great, so I don't need to repeat myself again after this. You predict
a (1+z)^-3 dependence on luminosity - observation for the Tolman test
shows the (1+z)^-4 dependence is the correct representation in
reality. The question is now either "Why do you continue to promote a
model that is explicitly disproved by observation" or "Were you making
sh.t up when I was giving you the references needed to understand the
Tolman test?".

I'm guessing the latter. You thought that the series of papers I gave
you regarding the Tolman test showed that the fall off in luminosity
goes as (1+z)^-3, and mysteriously enough your model manages to
"predict" that much.

What will your excuse be for why your model is correct even though
observation says it isn't?

> Tired light predicts the wrong fall off in surface brightness.

Tired light?

Who said anything about tired light?

How many times have you whined that your theory isn't tired light?

Explain the Tolman test and why your theory passes it in your own
words. Do remember I have you quoted saying that the falloff in
luminosity goes as (1+z)^-3.

Because the time it takes for decelerating light in steady space to
reach its destination is a linear approximation to the time it takes
for steady light in expanding space to reach its destination.

The wikipedia suggested that the observable evidence is an exponent of
-3.

"The exponent found is not 4 as expected in the simplest expanding
model, but 2.6 or 3.4, depending on the frequency band."

Does my theory predict that?

I don't know.

But I do know that expansion models have been retrofitted to match any
evidence that shows up, and that retrofitting models to match the
evidence is not a unique quality of the big bang.

The author of that article - like you - didn't even read the f.cking
paper. There is exactly ONE reference on that page - Lubin & Sandage -
which makes the process explicitly clear. Measuring surface brightness
in a consistent manner across different galaxies at different
redshifts is hard...etc. I'd explain it but I've already done it for
you once before and it did no good. Plus it is explained IN THE PAPER.
Unfortunately the paper requires a fair degree of technical knowledge,
which means you won't understand it.

"Deceleration predicts the third power (because it's lacking one of
the effects of an expanding Universe)"

You reference Wikipedia again - yet never actually read the article.

Have you even downloaded the original source material off arXiv?

Liar.

You have clearly not read any of the primary source material. Instead
you rely on the clearly incorrect blather of the article author. The
series of papers that do this are LONG, very technical, and assume a
lot of knowledge. There are four of them - and I have only read the
first and last in anything approaching a comprehensive fashion.

These papers are difficult for me, so hearing you speak bullshit about
"retrofitting" or any crap like that just irritates me. Not just
because of the sheer hubris and chutzpah, but because a cursory
understanding of the history and evidence blows this "retrofitting"
bullshit so f.cking far out of the water that it surpasses that
picture of the nuclear test that launched a navy cruiser into the
air.

You are clearly out of your depth, Mike. It shows every time you try
to discuss this stuff with me - and my knowledge has gaps you could
float an aircraft carrier through.

  "decelerating light" and "steady space" are either wrong or

Mike try reading this paper. It relates Expansion and Surface
brightness test along with more recent tests of expansion. It goes
through much of what people have been telling you in technical detail.
I have not gotten a chance to read it but from skimming it, I think it
should serve the purpose.

This is the paper Mike is ignoring.

Its' actually one of four papers - I gave them all to Mike over a
month ago. He still has not even downloaded them.

The expansion of the universe is the expansion of an Hypersphere.

Yeah I thought it might be, but I figure what the hell, maybe the
second time will be a charm and he'll maybe read it. Though if the
past is a guide he'll look for keywords and try to say the paper
either proves him or doesn't disprove him.

No reasoning with fools like Mike.

On page 4 the paper uses Zwicky's Tired Light hypothesis from 1929 as
the alternative.

In Zwicky's papers, he never considers light that loses velocity, just
energy.

Turns out the idea of photon's that lose speed with energy (proposed
be me, not Zwicky or any other tired light model) has some theoretical
basis in loop quantum gravity, as Lee Smolin has been discussing
photon's whose velocity are energy dependent:

<quote>
But there is another possibility. This is that the principle of
relativity is preserved, but Einstein's special theory of relativity
requires modification so as to allow photons to have a speed that
depends on energy. The most shocking thing I have learned in the last
year is that this is a real possibility.

Mike try reading the whole paper for once. Instead of these keyword
searches and platitudinous statements of utter ignorance, that you
foist on me. Since you have no idea what quantum gravity is, you can
make no claim of support form quantum gravity for your "theory". Not
to mention I am sure that whatever argument Smolin makes would not be
stumped and destroyed by simple questions like yours is. And I am sure
Tolman Surface Brightness test would not be a problem for him. Oh and
he knows basic calculus did you catch that?

> http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/smolin03/smolin03_print.html

Of course lest we forget this is a theory loop quantum gravity has a
long way to go. Not to mention your theory is not constructed in a way
to take advantage of this possibility. Since you can't even solve
differential equations which would be part of any unification theory.
Nor do you understand the basics of quantum mechanics. For example you
have no clue what 1D harmonic oscillator is.

So did you read the papers written on it (that Smolin mentions
writing)? No, you just like to find anything you can twist into
support for your idea not matter how silly, ridiculous and idiotic it
is.

Mike your model has no basis what so ever in Loop quantum gravity. You
obiously never read the paper I gave you since you failed to grok what
it said. You still haven't shown how you deal with Tolman Surface
Brightness Test, the paper in question goes through in detail a proof
for expansion. If you can disprove the paper fine, as it is you can't.
Now I suggest you read the paper instead of trying to spew this at me.

http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0406276
http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0306134

Please summarize these papers in your own words not leaving out the
math (It being integral to the papers). Then please tell me what
relation your theory has to this real science albeit unproven theory,
but still a real scientific theory.

No, /a/ alternative. There's a difference.

Do we care? We both know your position by this point.

Oh please - you don't know f.ck-all about LQG, especially since you
don't know any fundamental physics at any level.

What you suggest is not new and not interesting - energy dependent
dispersion relations [the actual term for what you are describing] are
horribly inconsistent with reality.

So did you even read the paper under discussion yet, or will you
continue to ignore it in pursuit of more things you do not understand?

On which page does the paper consider my alternative, deceleration?

It doesn't.

There is no paper that consider such an alternative, either for or
against.

Except this:

I can't wait for the next round of insults and put downs.

That really makes me feel good.
