I anticipate your responses to my questions. I am just an amateur and hobbyist in this field, and I am not a mathematician. I work from thought experiments and concepts. I try to bring synergy where I can. I do, myself, have a proto-hypothesis about universal origins. I would be willing to share it with you if you are interested. However, I do not have a website at present. It's not a fully formed hypothesis, just a working idea.
I agree with your disfavor for the unfortunate nomenclature of "black holes." Can you suggest an alternative? GFA for gravity-field-anomaly? I know some suggest that GFAs are composed of "quantum foam" because the gravity is too powerful to maintain even subatomic material structure. However, if gravity is linked to matter, as I suggest, then it can't be singularity of Heisenbergian Uncertainty. Although we can not observe the interior of a GFA, we can observe its effects. Since we are observing gravity via imaging of accretian disks (assume this is what is being seen), then we are observing the effects of gravity, directly relating to matter. This would seem to indicate that a high density of matter exists within the GFA, but would counter the proposition that it was in a state of quantum uncertainty. Of course, it may eventually be demonstrated that a GFA contains both within its internal structure. A core of quantum foam or mush and a hollow sphere of dense matter surrounding it but existing within the event horizon.
I suppose this is off topic somewhat, and maybe I should check the blackhole thread, but it is pursuant to this discussion, and I have not read, nor do I want to read, the entirety of the BH thread prior to posting there.
My proto hypothesis has another possible suggested structure for GFAs. I'll follow up on it if you want.
The angular dispersion idea is just that, an idea of mine. I don't recall if I heard it somewhere else first or not. Now the doppler effect it should produce may not be sufficient to explain the observed redshifts. I am just guessing, and I admit I may be wrong, but the observation should account for some of the effect.
I think we might draw a distinction in redshift causes. I have suggested that there are two possible causes, and that these causes are not exclusionary, in fact they should compound. First is the Doppler Effect (DE) caused by compression and (in this case) recession. Second is the Intra-Medium Wavelength Expansion (IMWE). (Or should we call it the Lambda Delta?) Of course this assumes that wavelengths expand with the medium of propogation. If wavelength does not increase, then we should observe a net increase in frequency (inversely proportional to the expanding yardstick).
I've revisited my idea about the curved trace of light paths. Per your hypothesis, light propogation through expanding spacetime might seem to curve the path in all directions, creating a bugle-cone. Would this somehow diffuse the light, would it increase the amplitude? What should be the observed effects?
Back to the balloon. If we think of the balloon expanding and a galaxy drawn on that balloon would seem to expand. Thus the galaxies should experience internal expansion, you say. If a fly lands on the balloon as you blow it up, would the fly also expand? The fly's stance might expand, but not the fly itself. Perhaps we should visualize a bacterium. But the result should be the same. If we look at the molecular structure of the balloon, we might see that while chemical bonds may be stressed in varying degrees, the atomic nuclei stay the same size. It is the electrochemical bonds that reorganize.
Now, if we stipulate that expansion does exist within galaxies (I am not oppsed to it), could it simply mean that the material simply adjusts to it, without inflating itself at the subatomic level? Like the drawing of a galaxy on the balloon, the medium expands and the galactic image expands, but closer inspection reveals that the individual atoms/molecules of ink did not expand, they merely separated.
Perhaps this is happening on an intra-galactic and intra-solar-system level. It may even happen within our own earth. If spacetime expands, but we continually readjust, we might be able to detect it as a cyclical event. If it is a low-order electrochemical adjustment, it might be observable in dense materials, where it would be magnified. Perhaps this could account for observations made with Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) equipment within the earth's environment. Perhaps I should contact
www.elfrad.com and post this as a possible soultion to their enigmas.
Well, I'll leave it here for now.
