Untired Light Theory and Regressive Attempts to Support It

PSI Blog 20201026 Untired Light Theory and Regressive Attempts to Support It

 

The reason the Big Bang Theory is hanging on so long is not because of any data the regressives have accumulated. It is entirely how those data are interpreted. Thanks to Jesse Witwer for asking my opinion on this enduring use of Einstein’s Untired Light Theory:

 

"Tired-Light" Hypothesis Gets Re-Tired

 

Whether light was a particle, a wave, or an idiotic combination of both, it would be impossible for it to travel over cosmic distances without losing energy. The only way that could happen is for space to be perfectly empty, as assumed by Einstein and his idealistic followers.

 

They claim: “For the tired-light theory to be correct, young galaxies would have to be dimmer, rather than brighter, than old ones.” Ask yourself: How much sense does that make? Furthermore, how much sense does perfectly empty space make?

 

As usual, regressives hold fast to their religiously based assumptions and are wont to emit borderline insults to nonbelievers: ‘Even so, "I don't think it's possible to convince people who are holding on to tired light," says Ned Wright, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Los Angeles. "I would say it is more a problem for a psychological journal than for Science."’

 

Maybe they should publish their Untired Light Theory stuff in religious journals.

And how, pray tell, is the age of a galaxy determined?

Pierre: Thanks for the comment. Like I mentioned in the post, that quote (« For the tired-light theory to be correct, young galaxies would have to be dimmer, rather than brighter, than old ones ») makes no sense. Cosmogonists assume distant galaxies to be younger than proximal galaxies. The Infinite Universe, however, must have galaxies of all ages and dimness. Therefore, What we see at the limit of observation is a 13-Ga picture of what that part of the universe was like 13 billion years ago. Whether dim or bright, whether old or young, all would have the same cosmological redshift. Energy losses produced by that 13-Ga trip would be the same for all.

Also remember that the "Elderly Galaxy" contradiction falsifies the Big Bang Theory outright. Just search the Blog for the word "elderly" to see the evidence that has been accumulating during the last decade without a mea culpa from the cosmogonists. The Big Bang prediction that cosmological objects get younger and younger with distance has been completely disproven.
