Just a small point here Silas, Tired light is still alive and kicking and doing very well thank you. In Tired light, we say that the Universe is static and that redshifts are caused by photons of light interacting with electrons in Intergalactic Space on the way.
In the Big bang Theory, the Hubble constant, H is the rate at which the Universe is expanding. An oft quoted value for H is
64 km/s per Mpc and this is found from supernova data.
However, these are strange units so let us change them to SI units;
64 km/s per Mpc is 2.06x10^-18 s^-1.
I show on my
site that this is just about exactly equal to ‘hr/m for the electron in each cubic metre of space’. (h = planck constant, r = classical radius of electron and m = rest mass of electron)
hr/m per cubic metre of space = 2.05x10^-18 s^-1.
Tired Light says that redshifts and the Hubble constant are due to photons interacting with electrons in intergalactic space.
Experiment shows that the value of H is ‘this much of an electron (hr/m) in each cubic metre of space.
What more do you want.
Tired Light.
The Universe is not expanding.
Cheers Lyndon
Ashmore’s paradox — ‘H = hr/m per cubic metre of space therefore the Universe is not expanding’.
