Edward Duffy Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I just read Lyndon Ashmore's "Big Bang Blasted" He presents a very compelling case for a different, simpler and I believe, correct interpretation of Hubble's law and the cause of redshift over very large distances, as well as the source of the CMB. Of course it brings us back to square one as far as how the universe was created, but that's part of the fun of science right? In a nutshell, he first noticed that Hubble's constant as of the most recent measurement, happens to equal the electron density in intergallactic space. This seemed to coincidental to be happenstance, so he began to look into the issue further and although I wont go through the derivation here, revisited tired light, coming up with the mechanism by which a photon and an electron interact in space, reducing the energy and therefore the frequecy of the photon and releasing lesser energy in the form of heat, creating the CMB. Light is redshifted twice as much over twice the distance because it interacts with twice as many electrons. Hubble never referred to his findings as a measure of velocity. He referred to them as a measure of redshift. The notion that the redshift represented velocity was a misinterpretation, not an actual measurement.
[Tycho?] Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 But velocity does result in redshift. Also you had better provide a link, there isn't a lot to comment on here without more information.

Sisyphus Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 velocity of what, the earth, the solar system, the galaxy??? Yes....
