Re: Speed of light
It's rather a long thread and I didn't read everything so maybe someone already answered the question why speed of light is as it is. if so then ignore my answer. The reason for speed of light being fixed is that in Einstein's theory there is a tensor in which all four 4 diagonal elements must sum t...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
makc, be serious. I'm only quoting Einstein about his 1950 discovery of the form of metric tensor of spacetime. That it must be non symmetric, since otherwise energy would have to be constantly created from nothing. Do you seriously believe in creation of energy (constant creation, to make it even w...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
makc, I'm responsible ony for my math and if you ask me about it I'll try to explain it to you since I know exactly where it came from. If you ask me about Einstein's math I don't know where it came from so I can't explain it to you, but a mathematician might be able so you should rather ask a mathe...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
makc, 1) Am I going to be banned from this forum for asking questions about Einstein's metric tensor and its consequences for astronomy? 2) Am I allowed to reveal those consequences that I already know about to P.T. Public on this forum without being banned from it? 3) How did you get the idea that ...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
Ok. I concluded from your post that you've noticed that Einstein's metric tensor implies Hubble redshift in "Einstein's universe". So what "equations from [6]" you have in mind? I don't remember Einstein's paper that well to be able to quote any equations from it. I just remember...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
Makc, I don't have any theory of my own. I had one with non symmetric metric tensor but then I was shown Einstein's work [6] and it turned out that Einstein did about the same thing 35 years earlier than me. So the only thing left for me to do was to check Einstein's implied results and they proved ...

Re: Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
Hi makc, I don't have any refs to statement (v) since I'm working right now on narrowing the range of distances to something better than redshifts Z=1 to Z=2. All the other things are in my paper "The general time dilation: relativistic redshift in stationary clouds of dust" at http://www....

Einsteinian reason for Hubble redshift
In 1950 Einstein proposed a non symmetric metric tensor of spacetime. This new metric tensor had several advantages over the old symmetric metric tensor of spacetime: (i) it didn't violate the principle of conservation of energy (which is unvoidable in the Big Bang hypohtesis), (ii) it explains the ...
