If photons get redshifted on their way to the Earth by transferring
energy to the dark energy of the cosmos their momenta would not be
changed and cause blurring of objects because dark energy may not have momentum itself and so classical behaviour that would cause blurring would not necessarily occur.
Redshifted photons would still exhibit time dilation over large
distances.
Any thoughts on this?

To procede in funny :smile: :biggrin: tone:Than the dark energy of the cosmos is nothing else than the gravitational energy of the same. :-p
 
photons can only be emitted and absorbed in their entirety [re: Plancks quanta theory]. the doppler effect is the simplest and most obvious explanation for red [or blue] shift.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
