I know this isn't the first thread on this issue but I'm hoping some of you brainiacs can clear up something for me please.
I have been living under the understanding that light doesn't travel through glass but rather the glass itself replicates the emf. I learned this a many years back from...
Sorry to be cynical, your posts are most informative to an amateur like me so many many thanks for the work you and others put in on this site, but doesn't this link just state that the observations don't fit the theory so we add in X to balance the equation and X is called dark energy...
If space really does expand how do we know the expansion is uniform? If space expansion is variable then redshift readings cannot be relied on as an accurate measurement of distance/recessional velocity.
Perhaps things are different in the US to how it is in the UK. Political affiliation can get you sacked from any public office and any remark that does not come under the umbrella of the PC thought police can also get you the sack. The nightmare is the 'big brother' society as predicted by...
Obviously some people are experts on Julian assange and his methods of work. I am sure the US governkment would much like your help in trying to find what he has done other than receive and publish leaked information same as many other journalists do. Palin was all over the UK media making...
So it has nothing to do with source traveling towards or away from viewer then? Would it not be blue shifted if traveling towards us and redshifted if traveling away regardless of how long it took to reach us?
Maybe I misunderstand redshift. I was under the impression redshift occurs due to wavelengths stretching when spacetime expands and has nothing to do with age.
It is not the travel time, rather if space expansion occurred with light from a galaxy that redshifted the light and then a star developed after the expansion or the rate of expansion had changed, that would account for anomalous readings of stars to their inherent galaxy.
What got me thinking (sorry no link I cannot find it), was a set of blogs of astronomers debating redshift and some were advocating it as wrong given individual stars having totally different redshifts from their host galaxy. I wondered if this was possible due to the stars having developed long...
If there are 2 objects emitting light to each other and the light fills the spacetime between them and then that spacetime expands the waveform becomes stretched. However, if the middle of the spacetime between the 2 objects has yet to have light enter it from either object and that spacetime...
Are you not familiar with the journalist Julian Assange? It is a fact he published footage of atrocities committed by US servicemen and certain US politicians have called for him to be hunted down like Al Queda and executed. Even media freedom is under threat in the west.
The Us should be careful not to copy the UKs policy which has seen many indigenous people become minorities and live in places no longer recognisable as English and where English is a secondary language. Multiculturalism has resulted in the alientaion of the English in their own country and gang...
So anti matter isn't really anti matter at all. It is matter with opposite charge. Still matter in my view. I wish science would not have such ambiguous misleading terms such as this.
I know this is a site mainly devoted to science, and I am very grateful for it. Your last paragraph supports part of my original assertion, that something can be very damaging to our society but cannot be discussed in case offense is caused. I did post this in politics and world affairs btw...
Fair comment. But having forums moderated means forums then become honed to what is acceptable in the view of the moderators. I wish I knew how to make my own website with forums. Sadly I don't. And I think having limits on what one can or cannot say just contributes to the big brother society...
