pantheory Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Thankyou man. So being that they have less energy, are the photons more spread out? Having a lower frequency and lesser energy, does not necessarily mean photons are more spread out, but the more redshifted the light, the farther away its origin therefore the more spread out the light will be and the less dense the photons. The photons are spread out to the extent of the inverse square law of light. // Edited September 14, 2012 by pantheory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantheory Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Still theoretically the wave would travel forever if their was nothing in its way right? Yes. According to present mainstream consensus, waves travel until they are broken up by other waves or matter in all of its possible locations. This would accordingly include the full extent of the observable universe, with the knowledge that we cannot know the full extent or form of the entire universe. Conceivably the remnants of such a wave might at some distance finally come to an end. // Edited September 14, 2012 by pantheory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnStu Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Still theoretically the wave would travel forever if their was nothing in its way right? Yes, for a very very long time, but not forever if nothing get in its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in my opinion probably not forever, but the present consensus might say forever. // Edited September 16, 2012 by pantheory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
