I have my own crazy theory about the "Red" shift. I figure that the 2nd law of thermodynamics operates on light energy, the further it travels the lower the energy, the speed can't change so the wavelength has to!
Light we see is always the past. This includes sunlight.
This is also part of the puzzle as to why we can't see stuff coming in at us until it is rather close, astronomically speaking. If it is moving to one side, we can see it perfectly well.
"ALL GALAXIES ARE IN FREE FALL!"
Well... not really. "Fall" would be with respect to some reference point outside our universe, which of course we don't have.
"The Uniform Universe"
You sound kinda like Fred Hoyle there. Late in his career he abandoned the "steady state" model in favor of a cyclic one - bang, collapse, bang, collapse, over and over.
The HINDU model! Yes!
What "steady state" are you yapping about? Or like "thar she blows" steady state? Did you look at my illustrations?
Like the one showing possible matter/antimatter galaxies on a collision course? Hm?
heh.
Antimatter galaxies??
Have you been tokin' up again, Elaine?
"Steady state" was Hoyle's response to the theory of the Big Bang, back in the Sixties. He didn't buy it - thought that the universe had always been, and always would be, pretty much the same. In college astronomy this was cited as a prime example of a "crank".
Your mom and dad were astronomers, and you're telling me you've never heard of Fred Hoyle? What did Mom and Dad talk about at dinner - politics?
Can you read, Smith? I never said I didn't know WHO the guy is.
Gads. Next time hook your brain to an energy system before posting.
