Hi, newbie here (I know, I created everything, but I'm so old, I've got alzeimer and forgot how it all works).

Well, the Big Bang (BB) is theory and, like every theory, it remains to be proven. I never believed in the BB theory because it just does not make sense.

Ok, lots of things does not add up when you look at infinatly bigger than you, just like looking at infenatly smaller than you. When you look at smaller and smaller, momentum seem to go faster and faster to a point where everything seems to happen at once. Similarly, when looking at bigger and bigger, everything seem to slow down to a crawl (or be frozen).

There are lots of thing of the BB theory that looks soooo similar to our ancesters who tought the world was flat, and then when they realised they were living on a ball of dust, it had to be the center of the univers, etc... We are still in the same gimick. Where ever we look, the farther we look, everything seems to "go away" from us. Strangly anough, on astronomical scale, if you look 180 degrees, the speed of the fartest object will go away at the same speed. Does'nt sound odd?

It all seem so obvious to me that if, on very large radius, everything seems to drift away at the same speed, it's not because of some momentum gain from one single Big Fart, but rather that the perception of lights coming from those far distant objects must incure some similar changes, mainly about what happen to the light, the subtle changes to light induce by lenghty traveling, and what wee "see" is the effect on the perception we get from it.

I'm no scientific and I don't master the technobabble of light physics, but my simple minded logic tell me that if we can't see no further than 14 or 16 (or whatever) billions lightyears away, it must be because light simply can't shine so far. Further, if everything seem to drift further away, whetever direction you look, and that drift accelerate on a exponential level, I am inclined to think it's more logical to assess that the light is slowing down.

I have yet to learn what are the bases to say that the speed of light is constant, but I would not bet on it.
