After 25 pages, I've had enough.

As others have pointed out, the link lyndonashmore provided is not the same thing he is claiming. A single photon is very different than a classical plane wave.

Somehow or another, I missed that this whole discussion is about tired light. I guess I was bogged down in the details. But if I had noticed that earlier, I would have made this call a long time ago: tired light is dead wrong. It has to be; it cannot account for time dilation of supernova light curves, which are known to exist and which follow the standard redshift calculations. See here.

Anyway, I asked lyndonashmore a direct question, and in the end he did not answer it. As is my wont with ATM proponents, I gave him many, many chances and plenty of time to make his case, and yet he still failed to do so.

So: enough. Banned. Locked.
