This is simply nonsense.
Lightspeed has posted this extensively with many meaningless diagrams on other forums, and can never seem to understand why there's nothing to it. I'm surpised that by moving one foot back and forth with respect to his other foot, he actually manages to walk.
The light from the 13 billion ly object started traveling towards us when it was only about 400 million lys away. As it traveled toward us, the expansion of space streatched it into a 13 billion year trip.
This is an argument from incredulity.
No, everything started receeding from everything else at the same time. There is no 'outward travel'. Just continuing spatial expansion.
No, because from the pov of the 13 billion ly galaxy, the closer you get to our galaxy, the faster everything is receeding.
This is not about objects moving through spacetime, this is about more space continually appearing between all (non-gravitationally bound) objects. The further apart two points in space are, the more new space appears between them , and so the faster the objects appears to be receeding.
The earth rotating, and a stationary earth with the universe rotating around it, are not equivalent frames. The rotating earth is an accelerated frame, and the stationary earth is a non-accelerated frame. Since in the physical universe, the earth is a rotating frame, the premise in the OP is faulty.
I said objective observational evidence.
Show me a photograph of air.
Show me a photograph of an oxygen molecule.
Show me a photograph of an atom.
I'll show you, (in fact, it was just earlier in this thread) a photograph of a black hole.
You are linking to 'Lifeslittilemysteries.com' as though it was a legitimate source?
I have a hard time beliving that. OTOH, if your internet studying has been on crank sites, without any background or educational background which would allow you to discriminate between fact and woo-woo, I can see how you would be confused.
WMAP, and COBE measured the temperature and distribution of the CMBR. The results tell us that the expansion is accelerating, and gives us the energy requirements for that expansion. You measure energy by it's effects. In this case, we see the effects of what is probably negative pressure generated by a non-zero vacuum energy.
But not having any background in the subject, on what basis do you make any judgments?
They knew very well what they were measuring, and the results provided more evidence for Dark Energy.
Are you really that clueless about developments in astronomy and cosmology? That's certainly the way you appear.
Do you have any substantiation for this claim? While I am aware of cases of falsifying research, they have been detected and corrected. "Happens all the time in science" is a big claim.
Once measured, it's no longer hypothetical.
