Default Vacuum Friction Means Static, Not Expanding, Universe

http://www.newscientist.com/article/...after-all.html
"Vacuum has friction after all [...] But what if the vacuum itself creates a type of friction that puts the brakes on spinning objects? [...] Now, Alejandro Manjavacas and F. Javier GarcĂ*a de Abajo of the Institute of Optics at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid say these forces should slow down spinning objects. Just as a head-on collision packs a bigger punch than a tap between two cars one behind the other, a virtual photon hitting an object in the direction opposite to its spin collides with greater force than if it hits in the same direction. So over time, a spinning object will gradually slow down, even if equal numbers of virtual photons bombard it from all sides."

It takes crimestop to discuss slowing down of spinning objects and not even think of slowing down of photons that are Hubble redshfted:

"Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity."
