Photons do not behave like rubber cars.

Don't just jump in here and make silly statements Bob, without thinking
a bit more about this.
I have a new theory that appears to fit in with all aspects of variable
star observations. Let's examine it, not throw it out without even
looking.

I do not throw cold water on people that are 'brain storming', that is
trying to think of as many ideas as possible, no matter how wild they may
be. But, in science, there comes a point when one weeds out those ideas
that do not pass the test of 'does this agree with current data'.

Well bob, there has never been a proper test of Einstein's second postulate.
The only known way to do it is to use variable stars. That's what I have done
and the results show that Einstein was wrong.

There is no way that light pulses from a remote orbiting source can all be
emitted at exactly c relative to little planet Earth. The idea is ridiculous.

The idea that 'photon pressure' would cause photons to get shorter is a
cool idea, as a brain storming idea. But it fails to pass the first test of
practicallity.

Don't make stupid comments bob, just because the theory conflicts with your
beliefs.

There are many places that photons travel together in large groups, photons
in those groups would suffer from the same compression as the photons from
stars. We don't see photons compressing and shifting in frequency and
wavelength.

How do you know?

On the otherhand, if there were experments showing just such a phenomina,
they would support your idea.

Bob, the effect I'm proposing is one that occurs when a group of photons
experiences an acceleration, either during emission or during flight.
George claims, probably rightly, that when photons are emitted by an
accelerating source the ones emitted later will move up on the earlier ones,
causing bunching. In the case of pulsars, both the gaps between pulses and the
pulse widths will change in the same proportion.

My theory states that individual photons also change in proportion to the
acceleration but by a much smaller amount than the 'bunching factor'.

This is perfectly feasible theory.

Note: if the acceleration is not constant, an important additional effect
occurs.
