For years now I have had this notion that using the "red shift" to prove the Big Bang theory doesn't seem like such a good idea. I mean, what if someone came up with another explanation for the decrease in observed frequency of distant light sources, distant stars and distant galaxies? You know? Like what if...?
So this morning I was scouting around with Google and came across an interesting formula for the amount of energy in a single photon. It would appear that the energy of a photon is directly proportional to the photon's frequency. The frequency of visible light is directly observed as color with red being at the lower end and up through orange, yellow, green, blue, and what, violet? When the frequency of the light from a light source appears to be lower than what it should be, that frequency shift is called "red shift" and the only explanation for it in mainstream science is that the object emitting the light is moving away from the person observing it. It's the train whistle effect. The sound of the whistle on a train moving away from the person hearing it is lower than its actual source frequency. You've all heard this. A train or an airplane approaches you and you hear the sound it makes and then it passes by and the sound becomes lower in pitch. Same with light, so they say, and that "red shift" proves that everything distant in the universe is moving away from us, thus the universe is expanding and of course expanding from what? From a single source of course, a single point in which all matter originated some 13.8 billion years ago, "The Big Bang".
Science becomes religion when absolute truths are derived from theory and the "Big Bang" is theory taken as near absolute truth, so it is "scientific" heresy to suggest maybe it never happened. But maybe it never happened.
In my reading this morning I came across the formula E=hf where h is a constant, f is the frequency of any particular single photon, and E is the energy of that photon. So the energy of any particular photon is directly proportional to its frequency and only to its frequency since h is a constant, never changes. There's no way for the energy of a photon to decay other than for the photon's frequency to decrease. In other words (mine) if a photon loses energy for any reason its frequency will undergo "red shift". You don't need an expanding universe or a big bang or the mysterious increase in red shift relative to distance or anything else related to the atheistic "Big Bang" to explain red shift. All you need is for photons to be able to lose energy as they age.
But you know, I'm not an educated man so what do I know about anything, right? This is so simple that it must be me that has it all wrong, right? I mean if I'm right about this, there's no need for the Big Bang, there's no need to imagine that the size of the universe is limited in any way, there's certainly no need to think the universe has a specific age, there's no need to puzzle about how the universe got as big as we have seen that it is in such a short amount of time, there's not even any reason to speculate on how long ago it originated since for all we know it's been around virtually forever. There's no reason to puzzle about how no mass or energy can escape from a black hole but the entire universe escaped from the mother of all black holes. There's no reason or excuse to maintain all that ignorance!
