Red shift, gravity, and dark energy.

[Sci1]

When matter is transformed into light energy within a star, the gravity associated with the matter is now associated with the light's energy. As space expands, the redshift is dilluting the light's energy and reducing the gravity associated with that energy. Would the energy dillution further weaken the gravitational bonds between galaxies in addition to the expansion itself, giving the appearence of dark energy acceleration?

No. Dark Energy acceleration is not weaker gravity, it's antigravity. Have a look at https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=415607".

Nope, doesn't work this way. The energy emitted as light from a star stems directly from the nuclear reaction at its core. Except for brown dwarfs, stars are stable objects which do not collapse under gravity for the majority of their life cycle. The gravity of a star is entirely separate.

Nope.

This is a result of frame-dependence in the measurement which leads to the appearance of energy attenuation, right?

Ich, thank you for thread.

Chal, I am going to post another topic on this to better understand.
