Hi John and All,
True, the so called 'soft sciences' are deformable but even physics
has pitfalls. There were many 'final' answers to explain how the Crooks
radiometer works and that is a very simple mechanism. You can take it
apart change vanes in various ways; etc.
Thus, in the face of "undeniable proof", I refuse to accept an
expanding universe. Space has many "clouds" of atoms, molecules, ions
and particles. So the probability of a photon being absorbed by
something and then emitted at a longer wavelength can be expected to
increase as distance between the source and observer increases.
Any Physicist who suggested that such heresy should be investigated
would be Hubbleized out of the inner sanctum and ,at the very least,
have his funds cut off. But all things come in their time.
YT, Dave W. Kentville
