To Steve Puetz, my co-author on "Universal Cycle
Theory: Neomechanics of the Hierarchically Infinite Universe":
Congratulations! Our gravitational redshift
interpretation from the book (Puetz and Borchardt, 2011) that we summarized at
NPA last year (Borchardt and Puetz, 2012) has just received confirmation from
this paper:
A quote from the intro:
"An optical approach begins by interpreting the
gravitational redshift resulting to a change in the relative velocity of
light due to the medium of propagation in the gravitational field. From
the optical point of view it is natural to think of the effect as due to
the velocity change of light in the medium of propagation. In such a
thought, the redshift effect has nothing to do with relativity but rather
is of a purely optical phenomenon."
Note that in this paper “Optical Approach to
Gravitational Redshift,” all Korean physicist, Yong Gwan Yi, had to do was to
give up aether denial.
