An experimental method to test DET

Abstract: An experimental method is designed to test the Dispersive Extinction Theory (DET). It has been shown that the cosmic redshift is dependent not only on the distance, but also on the wavelength and the line width. Such dependence is fundamentally different from what was predicted by the Big Bang Theory (BBT) and can be used to test DET experimentally. It has also been shown that a new S-function, instead of the redshift, is solely dependent on distance and independent of wavelength and line width. The issue of l… Show more

“…1 Numerous other mechanisms have been attempted to explain the cosmological redshift, such as an energy loss of the photon when traversing a radiation field, 2 an inelastic scattering by gaseous atoms and molecules, 3 or a dispersive-extinction effect by the space medium. 4,5 Previously unconsidered by the principle of complementarity, a photon may also be viewed as a wave, interacting with intergalactic free electrons in a wave-particle fashion.…”

“…Such wavelength and linewidth dependence can be used to vindicate or falsify the two rival theories. 5 According to DET, different spectral lines from the same heavenly body could have different redshifts due to the differences in the line widths and the wavelength. According to the Big Bang theory, however, all spectral lines from the same heavenly body must have the same redshift except for the component ascribable to the rotational motion of the body.…”

“…Straightforward calculation shows that the redshift is related to the distance as (Wang, 2008): Equation (17) shows that saturated dispersive extinction is not linearly proportional to the distance, which differs from what indicated by the linear Hubble law. As the linearity of Hubble law is only loosely demonstrated and widely challenged by experimentalists (Segal & Nicoll, 1992), a non linearity is quite interesting.…”

“…The multitude of fundamental difficulties facing the Big Bang theory motivated physicists to propose alternative theories since the very early days of the Big Bang cosmologyy, the most noteworthy being the tired-light cosmology (Zwicky, 1929), the steady-state cosmology (Bondi & Gold, 1948;Bondi, 1960;Hoyle, 1948), the plasma universe (Alfven, 1966;Klein, 1971;Lerner, 1991), and the theory of discordant redshift association (Field et al, 1973;Arp, 1987;Arp et al, 1990;Arp, 2003), and the Dispersive Extinction Theory (DET) (Wang, 2005(Wang, , 2007(Wang, , 2008(Wang, , 2011.…”
