Redshift isn’t a measure of recession speed
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
(Proverbs 20:15) KJV
In Matty’s Paradigm we believe that the universe is enclosed in a crystalline sphere called the firmament, so it can’t be expanding. Obviously there’s some other explanation for the apparent redshift of stellar objects.
Predictive Testable Hypothesis 6
- IF gravity is a field emitted from the center of the Earth,
- and time is a function of gravity
- time passes more slowly the closer you are to the center of the Earth
- time passes more quickly at the distance of the stars,
- and time is a function of gravity
- THEN time slows down as light approaches Earth and this causes the apparent elongation of wavelengths,
- THEREFORE redshift is a measurement of relative distance to the stars,
- not recession speed.
