Apologies for my absence from the discussions and thank you for your interest in the ideas. I accept that time dilation is too small to have any practical affect on astronomical measurements. However, I still think that the concept of viewing an event from a different time frame is one which...

Thanks everyone for your information its been really useful.

As humans, we intuitively tend to interpret the things we see in our local time frame. However, the rate at which time flows at any point (or time) in the Universe is affected by the strength of the gravitational field at that point (or time). Hence when we see distant events through our...

Thanks everybody for your help. It has been very useful. I will get back to you when I have done some more thinking.

If you measure the red-shift of a star 10 million light years away, you measure the velocity of the star 10 million years ago when the stars were traveling faster (if we are willing to accept that the expansion of the universe is slowing down). This not such an outrageous idea since firstly it...
