I'm a college freshman at the moment, so perhaps I'm just missing something simple. But none of my professors can give me an actual answer.
If photons of light from distant galaxies undergo redshift because of the expanding universe.
Also since particles have a wavelength according to Debrolie's equation, then a particle's wavelength should change when it is coming from a distant galaxy.
that is a problem for me since that suggests that the debrolie wavelength changed which means that it should have changed its momentum.
But changing momentum is a violation of the law of conservation of momentum in this case.
Also where did that energy go?
speaking of which, were does the energy from the photons go in regular electromagnetic red shift?
another problem the debrolie wavelength gives me is, if a particle like a proton has a charge it should interact with its own electric field due to the hysterises of empty space.
please explain some of this to me
