“…As it was mentioned in [1] in accordance to formula (1) the "Dimming effect" is negligible for light sources with low speed. Per example taken from [1], if 2 observers are located at diametrically opposite points of the earth's equator and attempt to measure the brightness of a distant object of light, located in the equatorial plane, the difference in brightness will only be 460 (m/s) *2/300,000,000 (m/s) = 3.06667E-06,…”

“…These light sources can possibly be simple mirrors that reflect the light of the static light sources. The exact shift in the number of detected photons is dependent on the speed of light source 1 and is determined by formula (1).…”

“…In another method of the experiment, the light source moves left and right along a straight line and the photon counters separately count the number of photons arriving from an approaching and receding source. Per [1] in non-relativistic systems the "Dimming effect" occurs due to moving away light sources the distance between the emitter and receiver constantly increases and photons require additional time to reach the receiver. This reduces the number of receiving photons per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons.…”

“…Illustration fig.3 below shows the portrayal of such an experiment. The photon counter (3) is located on the Earth's surface (1), and the light source (2) is located above the Earth's surface. In this configuration, light undergoes a blue shift as (as proven in [5]) on the Earth's surface (1) time is slightly dilated compared to the location of the source (2).…”

“…The Dimming effect and Z parameter Formula (1) for the calculation of the "Dimming Effect" was obtained in article [1] as Here 0 is the number of emitted photons, is the number of observed photons, is the speed of the light source and is the speed of light.…”

The hypothetical “Dimming Effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a moving light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems, the “Dimming effect” may occur due to the growing distance of light sources moving away from the receiver. This means that due to the growing distance, the photons continuously require more time to reach the receiver, which reduces the number of received photons per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons. Understandably, the proposed “Dimming effect” must be tested (confirmed or rejected) through observations. a. This article provides the formula for the calculation of “Dimming effect” values using the redshift parameter Z widely used in astronomy. b. The “Dimming effect” can possibly be detected utilizing the orbital movement of the Earth around the Sun. In accordance to the “Dimming effect”, observers on Earth will view 1.0001 more photons per time unit emitted by stars located near the ecliptic plane in the direction of the Earth orbiting the Sun. And, in contrast, observers will view only 0.9999 photons per time unit emitted by stars located near the ecliptic plane in the direction opposite to the Earth orbiting the Sun. Calculating precise measurements of the same stars within a 6-month period can possibly detect this difference. These changes in brightness are not only for specific stars, as the change in brightness takes place for all stars near the ecliptic in the direction of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun and in the opposite direction. c. The “Dimming effect” can possibly be detected in a physics laboratory using a moving light source (or mirror) and photon counters located in the direction of travel and in the opposite direction. d. In theory, Dilation of time can also be used for testing the existence of the “Dimming effect.” However, in experiments on Earth this effect appears in only the 14th digit after the decimal point and testing does not appear to be feasible. e. Why is it important to test the “Dimming effect?” If confirmed, it would allow astronomers to adjust values of "Standard Candles" used in astronomy. Since “Standard Candles” are critical in various cosmological models, the “Dimming effect” can correct models and/or reveal and support new models. If it is proved that the “Dimming effect” does not exist, it will mean that the number of photons arriving per unit of time does not depend on the speed of the light source and observer, which is not so apparent.

The hypothetical “Dimming effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a receding light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems,the "Dimming effect" occurs due to the fact that as light sources move away, the distance between the emitter and the receiver constantly increases, and the photons always take longer to reach the receiver. This reduces the number of photons received per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons per time unit. Negligible for speeds incomparable with the speed of light c, the "Dimming effect" can be very significant for speeds above 0.1c. “Dimming effect” can possibly be tested in a physics labor-atory using a moving light source (or mirror) and photon counters located in the travel direction and in opposite direction. It can possibly also be tested utilizing the orbital movement of the Earth around the Sun. If confirmed, “Dimming effect” would allow astronomers to adjust values of the "Standard Candles", which are critical in cosmological models. Absence of “Dimming effect” will mean that the number of photons arriving per time unit does not depend on the relative speed of light source and observer,which is not so apparent
