- Expansion theory.
One of the things I have yet to come across in the explanation for the expansion of the universe is the effect of light...
Most all of the matter we observe out there are stars - fusing nuclei and radiating EM energy in incomprehensible quantities... And this has been happening since the dawn of time, right? We can only see very small fragments of that emitted light that make it's way to us.. But how much energy is being emitted? How much has been emitted?
If I am not mistaken, for the most part, by and far, these stars are just churning out the conversion of mass into energy. Everywhere you look, the dominating change that occurs everywhere is the conversion of mass into energy. Sure, fusion creates more complex forms of matter, supernovae make all the stuff more complex than iron which, yes, is an endothermic process, however, requires all of the mass->energy fusions of lighter nuclei to run it's course until G kicks into make all the heavier stuff... Even at the chemical level, entropy prevails...
SO, Kepler recognized way back when that EM radiation exerts a pressure on matter - a force that pushes..
Following that logic, at cosmological scales, can this EM pressure be responsible for the observed expansion of the universe? In whole? In part? How is this phenomenon integrated into the model?
