SELFPROOF 0607 - GRAVITATIONAL COLOURSHIFTING

CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL

Gravitational redshift is the process by which electromagnetic radiation originating from a source that is in a gravitational field is reduced in frequency when observed in a region of a weaker gravitational field. There also exists a corresponding blueshift when electromagnetic radiation propagates from an area of a weaker gravitational field to an area of a stronger gravitational field. (Wikipedia 19 Mar 2012)


MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE
  • A photon converging on another object is blue gravityshifted.  (see Argument 0606)  
  • A photon diverging from another object is red gravityshifted.  (see Argument 0607)  
COMMENTARY
  • A photon moving toward an object counters the acceleration arising from their mutual gravitypull by increasing its mass and thus blueshifting its wavelength.
  • A photon moving away from an object counters the deceleration arising from their mutual gravitypull by decreasing its mass and thus redshifting its wavelength.
  • The gravitational colourshift of a photon is a multiprocess. The gravitypull of a photon's emitting object and the gravitypull of its receiving object are both acting on a photon for as long as the photon exists, each producing contrary effects, the former red and the latter blue. Nor are these the only components for all objects in the vicinity of the photon have a gravitypull and thus they likewise affect the photon's net gravitational colourshift. At the most fundamental of levels, every teel (and thus every object made of teels) is exerting a gravitypull on every other teel (and thus every object made of teels) in the Universe.
  • Consider the following:
    • If the masses of a photon emitting object and an adjacent photon receiving object are the same, a photon redshifts until it crosses the gravitysheath interface, blueshifts thereafter, reaching the receiving object with no colourshift.
    • If a photon emitting object is more massive than an adjacent photon receiving object, the colourshift at the receiving object is a net redshift.
    • If the emitting object is less massive than the absorbing object, the colourshift at the receiving object is a net blueshift.  
  • Now consider this example:  
    • Galaxy A and Galaxy B are adjacent and of equal mass, with each having a gravitysheath diameter of 200,000 lightyears.
    • The photon emitting object in Galaxy A is a star close to the galactic core.
    • The receiving object in Galaxy B is a planet in the galaxy's spiral arm, 25,000 lightyears from galactic centre and 75,000 lightyears from the galactic gravitysheath interface.
    • An emitted photon has 100,000 lightyears of net redshifting in leaving Galaxy A.
    • The same photon has 75,000 lightyears of net blueshifting on entering Galaxy B and going to the receiving planet.
    • As received at the planet, the photon has a net redshift.
