Default light wave info

if a gamma wave length is brought down to radio wave length does it lose the information which was originally within the gamma wave length ?

so why ask ?

the reason I do is because if the Universe is expanding then consequently the redshifting of a wave length or the lengthing of and the info in it is being distorted by expansion

The wave length, polarization and direction are the only "info" of a photon.
So, when you see it (X-Ray or Gamma Ray) this is what you get.
The fact that as a relative moving observer (or space dilatation) the wavelength value changed, is a calculation you can make, but the photon don't care about it
By the way, there are no "Universal Observer" so any wavelength will do, but once you "see" it, it's over, it's done, it gave the "info".

No. The rate of information changes, but the content remains the same.

this what I thought , at least it seemed to make sense

now could we not then , when looking at micro-wave radiation , move it back to the point of origin ?

It depends on what you mean by, "move it back to the point of origen?" Please provide a more detailed question.
