COSMOLOGY CRISIS AND REDSHIFT
Cosmology is in deep crisis (some say it is dead) so it is time for
cosmologists to try various salvation approaches, including the following one. All interpretations of the redshift are based on the assumption that in the formula: (frequency) = (speed of light)/(wavelength) the frequency and the wavelength vary while the speed of light is constant because the hymn "Divine Einstein" is perfect and "we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" etc. However Divine Albert allegedly thought in terms of hypotheses and there is no reason why cosmologists should not do so from time to time. That is, those of them who know well the established interpretations of, say, accelerating expansion observations, suddenly change direction and reinterpret everything based on the assumtion that frequency and speed of light vary while the wavelength is constant. No need to stop singing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" - after all, Divine Albert himself, in one of his metamorphoses, pleeded for variable speed of light: http://www.blazelabs.com/f-g-gcont.asp "So, faced with this evidence most readers must be wondering why we learn about the importance of the constancy of speed of light. Did Einstein miss this? Sometimes I find out that what's written in our textbooks is just a biased version taken from the original work, so after searching within the original text of the theory of GR by Einstein, I found this quote:"In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position. Now we might think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the case. We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity ; its results hold only so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational fields on the phenomena (e.g. of light)." - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) - The General Theory of Relativity: Chapter 22 - A Few Inferences from the General Principle of Relativity-. Today we find that since the Special Theory of Relativity unfortunately became part of the so called mainstream science, it is considered a sacrilege to even suggest that the speed of light be anything other than a constant. This is somewhat surprising since even Einstein himself suggested in a paper "On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light," Annalen der Physik, 35, 1911, that the speed of light might vary with the gravitational potential. Indeed, the variation of the speed of light in a vacuum or space is explicitly shown in Einstein's calculation for the angle at which light should bend upon the influence of gravity. One can find his calculation in his paper. The result is c'=c(1+V/c^2) where V is the gravitational potential relative to the point where the measurement is taken. 1+V/ c^2 is also known as the gravitational redshift factor." Pentcho Valev |
