In the recent press was stated:<br /><br /><font color="yellow">"During this growth spurt, a tiny region, likely no larger than a marble, grew in a trillionth of a second to become larger than the visible universe," said WMAP researcher David Spergel, also from Princeton University.<br /><br />The new observations reveal that the early expansion wasn't smooth, with some regions expanding faster than others.<br /><br />"We find that density fluctuations on the 1- to 10-billion-light-year scale are larger than density fluctuations on the hundred-million-light-year scale," Spergel said. "That is just what inflation theory predicts."<br /><br />These fluctuations are thought to have led to clumping of matter that allowed the formation of galaxies.</font><br />from: Space.com's Map Results<br /><br /><br />I have a large problem believing that a marble expanded so rapidly, in such a short time. <br /><br />Is it possible that this concept is wrong, and that light simply loses frequency per distance travelled, such that the loss of frequency is so small, that it takes a very large distance before we can measure it? <br /><br />If this was possible, then it would explain the light shift of the doppler effect, because more distant galaxies would have a relatively lower frequency in their expressed lightwaves. <br /><br />Also, this would explain the non-homogenous density effects in the "microwave background", which is light expressed from very distant superclusters.<br /><br /><br />The rationale of this post centers around these statements:<br /><br />Space is frictionless, except for gravitational waves. Light is a wave, but it can be bent by gravity. Light is also a particle, that exhibits periodic inertia. Could the self-initiated gravitational field of a photon slow the frequency of its wavelength over distance travelled? <br /><br />So I'd like to ask:<br /><br />What laws are violated with th
