<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Hey guys, don't abandon me so soon! My knowledge in this field is limited to a few specific areas of cosmology so I can only really argue from those angles.I focussed on the first prediction, that galaxies reach c at the edge of the universe and then disintegrate into GRBs, as that is within my "comfort zone", but I have no means to addess some of the other points...... the question is, can this theory clear the first hurdle, eh?The first prediction implies that we cannot see any galaxy that has an apparent recession speed faster than light, and yet, in the mainstream cosmological model, we do see galaxies with apparently superluminal recession speeds. How do we reconcile this difference?If the mainstream model is wrong, how does bechcubes model explain the high redshifts we measure?We observe that dim and highly redshifted galaxies have a spectrum where the lines have a similar pattern to much closer galaxies, but the lines are shifted across the spectrum. The mainstream view is that having a similar set of absorption lines means the dim and distant galaxies are similar to brighter and closer galaxies, and that the difference in the wavelength represents difference in the cosmic scale factor between emission and detection.Now bechcubes model allows expansion, and so therefore presumably also attributes redshift to that expansion. So how come the models predict such different apparent recession velocities? How does bechcubes model account for a galaxies with redshifts above z=2? The mainstream model uses General Relativity and finds superluminal recession velocities above z=~1.4. Should we not be applying General Relativity to universal expansion? How do we account for the time-dilation of distant supernovae then? <br />Posted by SpeedFreek</DIV></p><p>SpeedFreek:</p><p>In your universe, space time is expanding and when added to a photon with velocity of "c", produces velocities greater than "c".</p><p>Again, in my model the JAH Field or universe is not moving at expanding.
