Cosmic Redshift in the Nonexpanding Cellular Universe: Velocity-Differential Theory of Cosmic Redshift

Abstract

A review of the traditional possible causes of cosmic redshift -namely Doppler, expanding vacuum, gravitational, and tired light-is presented along with a discussion of why they failed. A new cosmic redshift mechanism is constructed based on a non-mass, non-energy, space medium (which serves as the luminiferous substrate) and the DSSU cellular cosmology (a remarkably natural problem-free cosmology). The cosmic redshift is shown to be a velocity-differential effect caused by a flow differential of the space medium. Furthermore, the velocity-differential redshift/effect is shown to be part of a much broader unification, since the very mechanism that causes the gravitation effect and sustains the Universe's gravity-cell structure is also the mechanism that causes the λ elongation manifesting as the cosmic redshift. Agreement with the verifiable portion of the redshift-distance graph (z ≤ 5) is outstanding. The main point is that intrinsic spectral shift occurs with a transit across/through any gravity well (sink). It is caused by the difference in propagation velocity between the axial ends of the photon or wave packet. Which, in turn, is caused by the difference in velocity of the aether flow, the flow differential of the aether, that occurs throughout a gravity well. And here the causal chain is linked to gravity: the change in velocity of the aether flow is what produces the effect of gravitation. The acceleration of the aether flow is the manifestation of gravity.

Olbers’ Paradox Resolved for the Infinite Nonexpanding Universe

“…the velocity-differential mechanism agrees with the redshift-versus-distance curve based on astronomical observations [14]. Moreover, the redshift mechanism and the agreement with observation-based cosmic-distance scale do not require any new physics.…”

“…It changed radically and permanently. As detailed in [14], the Expanding universe lost its main supporting pillar. Furthermore, with the unparalleled match between theory prediction and observed cosmic structure as presented in the DSSU Validation paper the concept of an expanding universe becomes untenable.…”

“…And to find that function we start with the expression for approximating the aether-flow velocity (its simple derivation may be found in the article Cosmic Redshift in the Nonexpanding Cellular Universe: Velocity-Differential Theory of Cosmic Redshift [14]): ,…”

“…The equation for distance in the cellular universe, expressed in terms of the number of cosmic cells, is [23]:…”

“…Why? And as of 2014 there is another factor to consider; there is now a realization that light waves stretch in both expanding and contracting regions of a gravity well, as detailed in reference [14]. It means, the Big Bang employs an incomplete interpretation of the cosmic redshift.…”
