  • Re: If Light Can Slow Down in Vacuum, What Then?

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 25 18:16:17 2023
    "The CMB is a perfect example of redshift. Originally, CMB photons had much shorter wavelengths with high associated energy, corresponding to a temperature of about 3,000 K (nearly 5,000° F). As the universe expanded, the light was stretched into longer
    and less energetic wavelengths. By the time the light reaches us, 14 billion years later, we observe it as low-energy microwaves at a frigid 2.7 K (-450° F). This is why CMB is so cold now." https://www.universeadventure.org/big_bang/cmb-origins.htm

    No. This stretching of light is one of the most preposterous concepts in the history of science. The wavelength of light is invariable. Frequency and speed vary proportionally, in accordance with the formula

    (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength)

    The so called Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is extremely cold because the speed of its photons is extremely slow.

    The fundamental axiom of future, Einstein-free physics will be

    The wavelength of light is constant (depends only on the nature of the emitting substance and is constant otherwise).

    Corollaries of "The wavelength of light is constant":

    Corollary 1: Any frequency shift entails (is caused by) a proportional speed-of-light shift.

    Corollary 2: If the emitter and the observer travel towards each other with relative speed v, the speed of light relative to the observer is c' = c+v, as posited by Newton's theory.

    Corollary 3: Spacetime and gravitational waves (ripples in spacetime) don't exist. LIGO's "discoveries" are fakes.

    Corollary 4: Light falls in a gravitational field with the same acceleration as ordinary falling bodies - near Earth's surface the accelerations of falling photons is g = 9.8 m/s^2. Accordingly, there is no gravitational time dilation.

    Corollary 5: The so-called cosmological (Hubble) redshift is due to the speed of light gradually slowing down as light travels through vacuum, in a non-expanding universe.

    Corollary 6: The dark sky in the Olbers' paradox can be explained by two facts. 1. Low-speed, high-redshifted light (known as CMB), coming from very distant sources, is invisible. 2. Beyond a certain distance, the star light does not reach us at all (its
    speed relative to us is reduced to zero).

    No Pentcho. You have made a fundamental mistake. You say the reason
    for the redshift is because photons are slowing down.
    Where did you get this ridiculous idea about light being a photon?
