    Check out my VSL theory that all redshift is gravitational redshift. Basically if you assume no expansion and all redshift is from gravity then you get a variable speed of light, space time doesn’t warp, light bends because it travels different speeds in different gravitational fields, ie mediums. Great video, I made a top 5 reasons why the universe is not expanding and didn’t think of this one which is fantastic. Incidentally it was my least watched video and everyone thinks I’m crazy. We will know soon enough with AI

      Gravity is one likely cause of observed redshift. I suspect it is one of multiple causes producing the phenomena that cosmologist groupthink assumed was due to motion alone. You may be interested in Glenn Borchardt's learned blog on this issue, thescientificworldview.blogspot.com/search?q=redshift&max-results=20&by-date=true. He's a proponent of the infinite universe theory, with which I am in agreement. I'll watch your video too, thanks for mentioning it.

    I have always had this idea that space between objects is zero in the sense that the only thing separating two objects is time. In this universe, space is a 3D singularity. Moving forward in a space singularity loops back upon the original position and future self. This means that there are timelines extending out from the singularity in all directions. The thing that gives space depth is not space itself, but time. Space or the energy contained in it is simply interacting with its self at a given intersection of future timelines. Time itself is an emergent property of a 3D singularity.
    Imagine an electron in this 3D singularity at t=0. The electron moves forwards to t=1 and interacts with its self. The electron collides with itself. No collision actually occurs, instead the electrons repel each other in different directions/timelines. However, because the electrons were travelling in the same direction there is a net difference in energy. The electron AT t=1 gains energy while the electron FROM t=0 loses energy. The lesser energy electron is now moving backwards relative to its prior direction of movement. Therefore, the lesser energy electron will interact with a higher energy electron at t=2 that is moving forward. The net result is that the electrons will repel each other and there will be some energy exchanged.
    Replace the electron with a wave moving in all directions and we'll observe many complex wave interactions occurring as t increase. Many timelines will form branching out from the singularity and intersecting in all directions. This is the space we perceive and it is responsible for the red shift of light. As photons intersect through timelines, self-interacting destructive interference occurs. The net result is a loss of energy overtime that manifest as increased wavelength.
    Space being a singularity also makes quantum physics more intuitive. As we zoom in on the very small, t approaches 0. In this domain interactions occur faster than we can physical perceive and our interacting with these particles to perform science in anyway changes their timelines and obscures their physics.
    The double slit experiment is a perfect example of space being a singularity. A photon does not enter one slit, it propagates as a wave in all directions. From our emergent perspective, we perceive this as a wave of probability. But from the perspective of the singularity, the wave interactions are due to underlying physics we emergent beings cannot observe. When we attempt to observe the photon, timelines become entangled before the photon wave enters the slits and the photon can no longer interact with itself. Even if we observe which slit the photon comes out of, we have effectively erased all the timelines where the photon would self-interact beyond the slits.
    Photons themselves give strength to the idea that space is a singularity. How can a photon move at a constant speed and oscillate if it is not interacting with itself? Try to imagine how a photon can interact with itself which would result in an oscillating wave. Self-interference!

    I’m no physicist but could it be that when we look out, we still see the after effects of an expanding universe but is currently stopped or maybe even collapsing outside our “light” vision? Like the snap back of a stretched rubber band that hasn’t snapped back to where we are (but coming)? Or maybe the universe is so vast that the farthest our ability to see is still so minuscule in the comparison that we are unable to see whatever is going on (expansion, static, collapsing) with any real certainty? Like our ability to see through a very foggy morning that your entire community was scooped up (quietly of course) and moved 600 miles North/South/East or West and you would have no idea what’s going on past your ability to “see”, but your town looks the same. So nothing changes. You assume your home, neighborhood and town are the same? Anyway that’s what I was thinking.

    It could be that the frequency of light naturally shifts in the direction of red over time?

    • @InsertPhilosophyHere
      @InsertPhilosophyHere  2 місяці тому +1

      Some physicists theorize that light waves lose energy over time and distance and thus shift to the red. I don't believe that theory is widely held, but it would explain the observed redshifts. Some theorize an oscillating universe in which there is a period of expansion followed by a period of contraction, perhaps back into a singularity and then the cycle begins again. The reality remains, though, that no observed data supports an expanding universe. It was an assumption based on a misinterpretation of redshifts.

      We don't know what effects traveling billions of light years has on light. One theory is that being a wave, light loses energy and thus redshifts. Not sure I buy that conjecture. But again and again, these attempts to defend the expanding universe assumption (EUA) are avoiding the reality that we do not see galaxies flying apart form each other as required by the theory. The only support for EUA is redshift and other evidence defeats it, including that space is flat, so thinks for mentioning that.

      @@InsertPhilosophyHere I happen to completely reject the wave model of light, because a few colleagues and I have performed the double-slit experiment in a cloud chamber, or with the use of a smoke machine. What Young was interpreting as wave interference producing that fringe pattern, we have observed completely differently. The fringe pattern is not a result of wave interference, but rather individual reflected rays, rays simply reflecting off the separator, which is never a flat surface, at different angles, and off the opposite sides of both slits (four surfaces total). We were able to follow the path of light between the slits and the screen. This is also how we explain the supposed collapse of waves into particles. The detector is simply detecting individual reflected rays, and interpreting them as discrete particles, hence the HUGE confusion that led to quantum madness. That being said, what does this tell you about redshift? This, of course, completely contradicts quantum mechanics, and is why we have received a lot of hostility. We simply are unable to convince not only the scientific community, but the general public. The wave dogma is old and extremely hard to go against, especially with the enormous amount of technology humanity has been able to produce in the past 100 years or so. Many attribute that to quantum mechanics, of course. Quantum mechanics is nothing more than a probabilistic mathematical framework based on the misunderstanding and the misinterpretation of the nature of light, and the double-slit experiment. Maybe that's why it's "probabilistic"? The MATH may be useful for replicating technology and chemical reactions, but it has no bearing on reality itself, because the theory is founded on the fallacy of quantum state superposition.

The big bang is thought to have happened 13.8 billion years ago, but we can see stuff that is 47 billion light years away.

    When you were analysing those graphs did you account for the telescoping that happens because the universe is expanding? The red to blue graph look like a fan, but that’s not what the actual shape of the universe, the fan should constrict as it goes back in time because the universe was smaller. If you do that then yes the universe was more dense, at least it seems to be from eyeballing it. But that’s why it’s so important to label your axes.
    Did you also account for the fact that more stars are made as the universe goes on? So we would expect density to increase with time, but it at the very least stays the same.

      No one suggests that the "actual shape of the universe." However, it is the data of all the observations, and the observations do not show the density of galaxy distribution required for the expanding universe theory to be true. Creation of stars are irrelevant because stars are within galaxies and the issue is galaxy distribution not stellar distribution. Changing the subject doesn't solve the central issue. Distance equals time, and the labels in the maps of distance to galaxies means as those galaxies were that amount of time ago. That is an inescapable reality that no mental gymnastics can avoid.

    Yeah, need to look for myself at the data, but distance is not so simple, because yes, if light has travelled towards us for 8 billion years, the distance it travelled at the time for each little piece of space was 8 billion light years, but that is not the distance now, the earlier a distance was travelled the larger it is now. Still this error is not that important, we should see less density now than earlier. But there is some subtlety in this because the very close neighbourhood might be more or less dense than other regions, so you have to look at scales that are isotropic in density, and there is a problem because this measure can only tell you anything if that isotropy and uniformity is there, now thats kot a huge issue, it would be great to prove that either the density of galaxies has to have been non isotropic and unform or the expension is not there, but there are other issues, a simple one is the size of galaxies and the matter in gas, or conversions between dark matter and normal matter that might habe occoured, there is a huge amount of styff to consider, and these concerns are just off the cuff, first you have to make sure that 1 your arguments are sound, and 2 that your claim is true, that the prediction from the expanding model is not reflecting the densities over time.
