I think we have to accept that both effects are real ,Godfree wrote:If every star is red shifted then only a one way street is being observed, so where are all those stars that are closing? One could look at this and believe that earth is the center of the universe, but it is a falsehood to juxtapose two unknowns and then say they prove one another, those two being the location of the center of the universe and the expansion of the universe as indicated by a red shift. In addition one has to consider supernovas where a stars remains and thus it's shock wave is dispersed omnidirectionally, such that it could be considered curious that we don't see visible light being shifted towards the ultra violet, as surly, a supernova sets things in motion.
And lets not forget that electromagnetic radiation can be either reflected, scattered, or absorbed, and how this might present itself within the theory of dark matter, dark energy and dark flow.[/color]
Michael Lewis accepts that within a non expanding universe ,
we would still see the doppler effect from the rotation of galaxies ,etc
so both are creating the same effect , which is yet to be determined ,
for any one example ,
I don't think Chaz or anyone else can prove the bbt is any more real ,
than my Cosmic Rainbow model ,
and I suppose that pisses off the old die hards clinging to their precious ,
they worked hard to know what they do ,
how dare I come along and turn it all on it's head , without proof ,,!!![/quote]
Yes I should have added the fact that from our perspective a rotating galaxy, that can be rotating on any variable particular plane should give rise to an ultra violet shift or a variable infrared shift depending upon the supposed universe expansion relative to both our movement and that of the spiral universe being observed.
