Ah, well, the vagueness is what makes it so difficult. I thought that perhaps there was some group out there advocating these ideas, where I could get the details. He does make some specific claims, such as
Quote:
redshift is due to multiple effects of gravitational drag
of which the shapiro effect is only one
the nett result of light travelling vast distances incountering vast amounts of matter
along the way, which not only slow photons but also absorb them

the redshift is the effect of this reduced energy
which I have not been able to find information on. I have found that there is a "Shapiro effect", but Shapiro supports the Big Bang, so I don't see how it relates. This guy seems to believe in Hoyle's Steady State universe. Does anybody still support that?

I did not want to be seen as spamming, but you can find his latest post here, and others are here,
here and here. It's not a science site, but every time someone mentions the Big Bang he starts spouting. He claims to have a MSc in electron physics; I don't have a science degree, so I'm a bit out of my depth.

One thing that he repeats is that the BB is a form of "creation science", supposedly because there is supposed to have been no time or matter before the BB, but as I understand it, this was not necessarily so?
