"Originally proposed early in the development of general relativity in order to allow a static universe solution it was subsequently abandoned when the universe was found to be expanding" (re cosmological constant).
This phrase needs correction. Hubble observed red-hift proportional to...
Thanks for your reply. My consideration was red-shift=age, as it were, which boils down also to distance, and given the supposed age of the universe would be extremely difficult to measure and particularly so as it does not seem to have been considered as a possibility.
No doubt we can measure...
No; one would use the argument that anything blue-shifted was approaching us at a rate exceeding that of the "ageing" of light. The two interpretations are not mutally exclusive.
My main interest is to find out if anyone has argued along the lines I have suggested.
Thanks for your reply
I have long been curious as to the Big Bang. Our cosmology is based on Hubble's observation of the red-shift and its interpretation, and our observations are made to fit the interpretation of an expanding universe. What if simply the frequency of electromagnetic radiation decays (lengthens) with...
