Natural observer fields and redshift

چکیده
This paper is part of a program whose aim is to establish a new paradigm for the universe in which there is no big bang. There are three pieces of primary evidence for the big bang: the distribution of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, and redshift. This paper concentrates on redshift. Alternative explanations for the other pieces of primary evidence are given in other papers in the program.

Weightlessness of photons: A quantum effect
The discrepancy between the observed and the expected gravitational redshifts in the Sun are often assumed to be caused by Doppler shifts in the line forming elements. An elaborate system of currents, which was surmised for explaining the discrepancy, has lead to contradictions with observations. Contrary to general belief, the Fraunhofer lines are found to be plasma redshifted and not gravitat...
متن کاملA physical interpretation of Hubble’s law and the cosmological redshift from the perspective of a static observer
We derive explicit and exact expressions for the physical velocity of a free particle comoving with the Hubble flow as measured by a static observer, and for the frequency shift of light emitted by a comoving source and received, again, by a static observer. The expressions make it clear that an interpretation of the redshift as a kind of Doppler effect only makes sense when the distance betwee...
متن کاملPhoton redshift and the appearance of a naked singularity
In this paper we analyze the redshift as observed by an external observer receiving photons which terminate in the past at the naked singularity formed in a Tolman-Bondi dust collapse. Within the context of models considered here it is shown that photons emitted from a weak curvature naked singularity are always finitely redshifted to an external observer. Certain cases of strong curvature nake...
متن کاملSurface gravity in dynamical spherically symmetric spacetimes.
A definition of surface gravity at the apparent horizon of dynamical spherically symmetric spacetimes is proposed. It is based on a unique foliation by ingoing null hypersurfaces. The function parametrizing the hypersurfaces can be interpreted as the phase of a light wave uniformly emitted by some faraway static observer. The definition gives back the accepted value of surface gravity in the st...
متن کاملThe Gaussian cell two-point “energy-like” equation: Application to large scale galaxy redshift and peculiar motion surveys
We introduce a simple linear equation relating the line-of-sight peculiar velocity and density contrast correlation functions. The relation, which we call the Gaussian cell two-point “energy-like” equation, is valid in the distant-observer-limit and requires Gaussian smoothed fields. In the variance case, i.e., at zero lag, the equation is similar in its mathematical form to the Layzer-Irvine c...
