SELFPROOF 0610 - COSMOLOGICAL COLOURSHIFTING

CURRENT PARADIGM
  • Hubble's law (COSMOLOGICAL COLOURSHIFTING) is the name for the observation in physical cosmology that: (1) Objects observed in deep space (extragalactic space, 10 megaparsecs (Mpc) or more) are found to have a Doppler shift interpretable as relative velocity away from Earth; (2) This Doppler-shift-measured velocity, of various galaxies receding from the Earth, is approximately proportional to their distance from the Earth for galaxies up to a few hundred megaparsecs away. Hubble's law is considered the first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as one of the pieces of evidence most often cited in support of the Big Bang model. (Wikipedia - 18 Jul 2012)

COMMENTARY

The wavelength of a photon can be subject to four forms of colourshifting:
  • Gravitational colourshifting - moving the photon toward or away from a gravity source.
  • Gravitonstream colourshifting - moving the photon between gravitonstreams that have different dynamic masses.
  • Doppler colourshifting - moving the photon toward or away from the observer.
  • Cosmological colourshifting - moving the photon toward or away from the Ucentre.
The mechanics of cosmological colourshifting are:
  • The gravitational centre of the Universe is at or near the Ucentre (for simplicity, assume it hereafter to be at the Ucentre).
  • Every photon, be it a cosmic photon or a stabilisation photon, stabilises at a specific wavelength and at a specific distance from the Ucentre.
  • Thereafter it moves toward or away from the Ucentre (perhaps changing from one to the other during its lifetime, perhaps doing so many times).
  • In moving toward the Ucentre is it cosmologically blueshifted.
  • In moving away from the Ucentre it is cosmologically redshifted. 
Cosmological colourshifting is perceived on Earth as follows:
  • Planet Earth is a specific distance from the Ucentre.
  • Extend that distance to be a sphere surrounding the Ucentre.
  • Call that sphere "Envelope E".
  • Some photon emitting objects are inside Envelope E and others are outside.
  • Photons emitted inside Envelope E are cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth. 
  • Photons emitted outside Envelope E are cosmologically blueshifted when they reach Earth. 
  • Moment Zero was a notional 13 billion years ago.
  • The diameter of the Universe at Moment Zero was a notional 1 billion lightyears.
  • Since Moment Zero the Universe has been expanding.
  • Going back in time, the proportion of photon emitting objects that are inside Envelope E increases. 
  • Before a specific moment back in time, all photon emitting objects are inside Envelope E - and thus all such emitted photons are cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth.
  • Going progressively backward in time, photon emitting objects are progressively farther inside Envelope E - and thus the cosmological redshift of such emitted photons is progressively greater. 
To summarise:
  • Young extraterrestrial photons can be cosmologically blueshifted or cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth.
  • The older an extraterrestrial photon is, the more likely it is to be cosmologically redshifted when it reaches Earth.
  • Beyond a certain age, all extraterrestrial photons are cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth. 
  • Going progressively beyond that certain age, extraterrestrial photons are progressively more cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth. 
Before photon emitting objects evolved, the Universe was itself, for a brief time, a photon creating object. It created the cosmic photons that reach the Earth today as the Cosmic Background Radiation. The Universe at that time was relatively small so the photons all stabilised well inside Envelope E. Consequently all cosmic photons are markedly cosmologically redshifted when they reach Earth.

Cosmological colourshifting results from the relationship between the point within the Universe sphere where a photon is emitted, the point where it is received, and the Ucentre. All our receiving is done at Envelope E - but receive photons at a different location and the degree of their cosmological colourshift will be different. This is at its most evident with cosmic photons. Receive a cosmic photon close to the Ucentre and it will show little or not cosmological redshift. Receive one at the Ucentre and it may well be cosmologically blueshifted.
