I believe there are three independent dynamics that may form cosmic redshift. The first is a very strange kind of duty cycle. This duty cycle is unlike any other duty cycle you have heard about. This is the first dynamic. This dynamic is always first and always the primary dynamic.
The second dynamic is distance. Distance alone can shift light. This is because of that strange un-known duty cycle. Just distance can increase the shift. That is with a moving emitter.
And the third dynamic is cosmic rotation. Cosmic rotation effects the length of old light. The older, the more effect.
These three dynamics are independent of each other.
It’s necessary to explain the first dynamic to understand the second. Please imagine an old fashion stage coach wagon wheel. Take the rim off and save it. Replace the 6-8 wooden spokes with thousands of straw size spokes. Now take that rim, and place LEDs and photo detectors on the inside of that rim. So that anything passing thru that rim can be timed. A spoke detector, a spoke length detector.
Are you with me so far? We are going to spin the hub with those spokes. And then we are going to release all those spokes at the same time. Notice, that no matter at what speed the hub is spinning, the released spokes have the same length. And also notice that no matter how fast the hub is moving down the road, the released spokes have the same length. So now, no matter the spin rate, or the hub velocity, the released spokes remain the same length. And if the hub speed is constant, the spoke velocity is constant. Spoke velocity is set with hub rotation speed only, NOT hub velocity. Hub velocity can not be added to spoke velocity because, the spokes are emitted in an instant. CHUNK emission.
Now we take the rim, release the spokes, and TIME the duration of the spokes going thru that distant rim. The rim is a catcher of the spokes, and we time the duration of the spoke thru that rim.
Are you with me? Keeping the hub rotation constant, no matter the distance, no matter the velocity of that hub(not rotation), the duration of the spoke thru the rim remains constant. Do you see that?
The velocity of the spoke comes ONLY from the hub rotation, NOT hub velocity. Do you see that?
I am trying to use matter objects to show how fields work, and it is not easy. Bear with me.
Let’s go back to the hub. The hub is naked. As we turn the hub, spokes start to grow. All the spokes grow at same time. After the hub turns ½ turn, 180 degrees, the spokes have grown to maximum. And are released at 180. Immediately after that the hub starts growing another set of spokes. During every 180 degrees of growing they are released. TWO releases of spokes for every one turn of hub.
The emission, or hub waveform would be one straight vertical line every 180. That line is the instant of release. One single skinny line. Every 180.
Now let’s look at the rim waveform. It’s catching the spokes. It will have the spoke duration, which is a square wave. That square wave will have 180 degrees of duration. THEN… it has 180 degrees of nothing. This is the time when the spokes are growing back at the hub. Dead time. No emission during this time.
The wave form at the rim is a 50% duty cycle. There is the same duration of growing time as to the spoke time. So the spoke rim time and the growing(waiting) hub time are equal. IF, IF there is no relative motion.
Are you still with me? But look what happens to that 50% duty cycle with the emitter moves. If the emitter moves away, the spoke time remains the same, but the time(and distance) between the spokes increases, because the distant increase, during the growth time. BUT only the dead time between the constant spoke length changes. The dead time shifts.
Now is when the second dynamic, takes place, the distance dynamic. Take a stationary detector(rim).
Place an emitter(hub) one light year away, and have it in motion moving away at 100 km/sec.
This will give you a certain redshift. Now place another hub 10 light years away and have it move at 100 km/sec. The shift from this will be more than the first shift, due to just distance. Can you see this?
This is because of this strange duty cycle. Where the on time is constant and only the off time between the spokes changes, not he spoke time. Distance alone causes the shift. But it has to be moving distance, not static distance.
And finally, cosmic rotation. The longest path to a star is the light path. Let’s say our spacecraft has a gun-sight. We center our destination star at the center of that sight. As time goes by, we notice that the star moved a little from the center, and we have to correct our path, We will have to do that all the time on the way to the star. Because long light is bowed, because of the cosmic rotation. This makes the path of light longer, and remember, some shift comes from distance alone. With cosmic rotation there are two separate distance effects. One is linear distance with relative motion and one is distance effect is angular, cosmic rotation. Linear distance, and angular distance. TWO distances. TWO moving distances.
So depending on distance and relative motion, all three dynamics can be in play for redshift.
The outer stars and galaxies have the same velocities as the stars and galaxies close by, and a lot of redshift is due to distance and flight time, flight path, and not velocity.
Space is empty and square. That is the very first rule of physics. The ratio of time and length are quantum and can not be changed.
This is a quantum cosmos.
