CHAPTER 5
LIGHT
LIGHT (Last updat May 12th 2015)
This is what light is and how it works. It is absolutely profound. Thee most mysterious of the phenomenons out there. We give you a complete and detailed description of light.
It is solid. What is presented here answers all the questions., and not just of light itself.
First.., here is what is known.., and/or believed.
Light is said to be the fastest speed in the cosmos. That speed being approximately 186,000 miles a second and referred to as 'c' for conversation, calculus, and its constant...
And there are its paradoxes.
Light measures 'c' no matter the speed or direction the source is moving. ??
Light appears to be a particle at times and a wave at other times. ??
Light ‘photons’ are said to be mass-less but can be deflected by gravity. ??
It is also said that the particle and wave characteristic is a dual nature. Meaning photons are both a particle and a wave more or less at the same time.
This did not compute with us. As we have worked with the electromagnetic spectrum for most of my life....
PLEASE NOTE... Hereinafter the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum will often be referred to as EMS
So we submit that No one seems to have any idea of what’s going on with light. Our ‘modern’ physics is way off track. The only real answers are based on Classic Physics… GR, SR, and all the rest including photons, expansion, dark energy, etc. are just opinions based on surface observations and just plain dumb.
Here is the full and complete explanation of light using only well known and fully understood classic physical physics. It is undeniable. Trust me. Anyone can have their chance to counter if they wish.
It’s all proven and well known science. All the dots are already proven but no one has yet to put them in the correct order to describe how light is delivered and disbursed to be seen, as I do here.
Still, I know many will try to reduce these true science facts to mainstream’s gobbledygook, or into their now bonded with beliefs. Unfortunately that’s a problem most humans have yet to overcome.
In any case here are the already known real answers to the so called expansion, faster and faster, dark energy, and a lot more that have been imagined up from Hubble finding red shift in light from the distant galaxies.He did not believe any of it. Hubble knew there was a second explanation for red shift that did not require distancing. He tried in vain to stop that expansion idea from catching on… But it was the sensation loving newspapers and sci-fi loving public kept it going. So soon that dumb ass idea of a Big Bang was being taught in colleges as mainstream., by people who called themselves scientists…, and ‘educators’… :/
Yes there is a second classic physics explanation for red shift that does *not* require distancing… It is well known that the EM spectra of light constantly lose their high end frequencies as they travel towards us. This causes the rest of the wavelengths below to become longer on average. Those longer wave lengths are what Hubble saw as red shift, but again they are not caused by any expanding distance. The Big Bang was imagined, created, and believed by very short sighted people.
If you think that the colors we see or whatever spectral lines that are not changing wavelengths disproves this, you’re wrong. Spectral lines need particular wave lengths to be in.., indicating what produced them. The same as humans have evolved to see and need particular wave lengths to see particular *colors*. Blue centered around 470 nm for example… So when the spectrum is red shifted, all the needed wave lengths will just still be found higher up the spectrum, coming from between those higher numbered peaks… The particular and exact lengths we need to see as blue, and what any spectral line needs to indicate its source. All visible and otherwise usable wavelengths will always be found somewhere on the spectrum., no matter what numbered peaks they happen to coming from at any instant.
The whole story of light is classic physics, already known and accepted by science. Current mainstream tries to hide it and mock it but it’s still there. Solid… Like a rock..!
To start, you have to forget what you hear about ‘photons’… Newton offhandedly imagined them up about 360 years ago. He called them corpuscles back then… They’ve been renamed photons more recently, apparently to make them sound more legit. But they’re still imagined. Newton had no idea what light was 360 years ago… :/
They are described as tiny, single frequency bits of self contained energy that travel billions of light years though the cosmos totally unaffected…, just so each one can illuminate a single microscopic speck of my living room wall… *If* they match the color I picked for it… Hilarious, is it not..?
It is quite ridiculous. But beyond that, since they are each said to be a single frequency, that makes them ‘sine’ waves. Which as real scientists should know are never found in any spectrum… Ask any audiophile for that matter. They know too. There is an infinite difference between a ‘sine’ wave and a ‘spectrum’ wave if you did not happen to know that.
So no need to explain why photons are not ‘bits’ either, as is claimed. That’s only done to support Quantum’s effort to create a ‘digital’ copy of the analog spectrum. They’re doing so to more easily build models of how they think, or want us to think., the cosmos runs. But if they were bits., and each one a ‘single frequency’, it would mean there would have to be enough of them to cover every single wave length in the spectrum… There being an infinite number of wavelength starting points between every two adjoining peaks of a spectrum, and there being many trillions of peaks.. That’s a lot of infinities.
I did a very conservative estimate awhile back on how many photons it would take to produce the light we see in a single hour.., and it came out to be infinity^3… Of course I know that’s not a real number.., but it’s close… :/ There aren’t enough electrons in the entire cosmos to produce that many ‘photons’…
Instead, in truth, we know it is the *electron* that ‘brings’ light to us.
But before you start chuckling you best read the rest… It is well proven in many ways…
Read slowly too. Cause while the words are undeniable classic physics, as intuitive as Occam can be.., you’ve most likely been indoctrinated with mainstream’s gobbledygook to believe theirs is the only truth. You need to see through those earlier imagined falsehoods.
First there is the fact that when they fire electrons at the twin slit they get the exact same light and dark bars as when they think they’re firing photons… They’re really firing electrons and photons are not needed, nor could they produce light even if they did exist
So we see that light is actually ‘delivered’ by the electron… Electrons radiate their (de Broglie) pilot wave outward as they travel through the cosmos. Or my living room which is also part of the cosmos.. That outgoing wavefront is then blue shifted in the forward direction by the velocity of the electron itself, which produces a shock wave shaped, circular, globular EM spectrum with the highest frequency in the center line of travel.
It is the electron that is the long suspected particle part of light’s EM spectrum creation. So the particle and the wave it produces are as separate and distinct as any boat is from the waves it produces on the water it travels on. There is no magical non-physics ‘duality’. Nor superposition either, as far as that goes…
Now comes the even harder part. That an electron being a particle with mass and charge, it is that the ‘pilot wave’ EM spectrum is actually a perturbation of the EM field of gravity. Just as the moon does as it orbits the earth. Perturbing gravity enough to affect the ebb and flow of tides, and to wobble the earth too. The only difference between the two are their size and amount…
The electron delivers its circular target shaped EM spectrum of gravity strengths to whatever surface it happens to run into. Surfaces can be your living room wall, a microwave dish, your eyeballs, etc. That surface is where visible and otherwise usable light is first created. The highest frequency or ‘strongest gravity strength’ of the blue shifted spectra is determined by how much velocity the electrons are given on send off, which determines how much blue shifting each electron can do. Everything warm emits electrons… Human bodies get it up to infra-red and stars get it up to blue and above. A simple and very good analogy to this is a submarine traveling through the ocean… It is pushing the non compressible sea ahead of it the hardest, and less so around the curve to the sides. Each of those amounts of push are instantly transferred through the sea to the all the surrounding distant shores to produce miniature tsunamis of various strength.
It is the mass of the electron that is being deflected by gravitation.
Mass-less light itself cannot be deflected.
It is the mass of the electron that moves things that ‘light’ hits.
Mass-less light cannot move anything.
That the incoming EM spectrum is circular is the reason light is polar.
That the incoming EM spectrum is globular is the reason the outer longer wave lengths hit the angled side of a prism first for red to be sent through. Then as the shorter and shorter wave lengths are skidded into the glass the rest of the colors are sent through in turn.
It is the EM spectrum of gravity strengths beingthat is laid onto whatever surface the electron happens to hit. The electron is absorbed by the surface atoms and the spectrum’s various gravity strengths, aka waves lengths, are reflected (bounced), refracted, prismed, filtered, absorbed and/or passed through according to the sizes of the surface atoms, molecules, their *arrangement*, and consistency.
Keep in mind again, that the EM spectra of light are *truly* complex variations of gravity strengths’ that are perturbing the existing EM field of gravity. Surfaces are where light is first created. There is no light between any source and the surface you see it coming from.
The sky is black at night. They need mist in the air to hold a light show. Shine a flashlight on the wall in a dark room and you will see the light created on the wall coming at you but you will not see the beam that is causing it to happen. Lastly of course, when you look directly at a star or any source, the surface is your eyeballs… The wave lengths are then passed through to your retinas… The spectra of gravity perturbations are sent through to wobble the rods and cones of your retinas… Just as the moon’s perturbations wobble the earth.
When we monitor one of the slits in the twin slit experiment those light delivering electrons run into the half mirror and are absorbed. They are prevented from bringing their spectrum to the back wall. There is no so-called ‘wave collapse’ because some bits or whatever know they’re being looked at. No more than the moon is not there unless it *is* being looked at. Where does this idiociy come from..? Hmm. Albert and the early not to smart founders of quantum. :/ With all those ideas being put forth It just seems we’re just being tested to determine our level of ‘stupid’… :/
I personally think Albert and his school chums of were really a bunch of clowns hoping to make names for themselves. He throwing a chair in class, skipping classes *he* didn’t think important., never doing anything but daydreaming up ideas..? His gravity stretching time has been totally falsified but no one wants to give it up. Schrodinger coming up with his intended as a joke dead/alive cat contraption. Have you ever heard the term ‘Schrodinger’s douchebag’..? Look it up… You’ll see there are some out there who *sarcastically* show they know what’s truly going on.
Those ‘school chums’, Albert, Born, Bohr, Lorentz, Schrodinger, Dirac, and others worked together, changing each others minds, etc. to homogenize all their surface observations into the basic concepts of how they wanted us to think the cosmos worked back then. It looks like they were going on the idea that people would say ‘they can’t be all wrong, can they….? Of course they were…! They had no clue back then… Since then they’re devised mainstream and Wiki to make their ideas public. Along with very much Peer Review censor board, to insure alternate thinking never got off the ground.
But.., back to de Broglie… He also found that the electron slowed as it travels. This lowers the amount of blue shifting it gives to the spectrum it’s producing… So, as stated above, its high end frequency is constantly lowering. Which causes the rest of the lower wave lengths to be longer on average…
*This* again explains the red shift that Hubble found, which has nothing to do with those sources distancing themselves from us.
That’s not the end of it either. When electrons gets to us from the most distant galaxies the high end of their spectrums are down to the bottom of the ‘visible’ spectrum.. This is the reason there’s an edge to the ‘visible’ universe. Light from beyond has already gone below.
But.., not to worry. Because the rest of the spectrum below the visible are still coming in and we can and do use those microwave and lower radio waves to see well beyond the edge of the visible universe.
Now comes the faster and faster expansion thinking that gave mainstream a chance to make up Dark Energy, another magical inexplicable and dumbass force…
But the true story is that when the constantly slowing electrons from the distant galaxies get to about 6–8 billion light years out from the earth, this is where the high end of their spectra have lowered to the ‘top’ of the visible spectrum. W hen the ‘visible’ spectra start getting cut into it produces a more pronounced red shift. So you should see by now that increased red shift is *not* because the cosmos just decided to increase its rate of expansion or inflation speed.
So of course there is no magical ‘Dark Energy’ either… Didn’t you always suspect that anyway..? lol
That answers just about all the observed, known and still unknown facets to light’s delivery and the weirdness people wonder about. So if you or anyone reading this disagrees with any of it.., please tell me what part of classic physics you deny.
Please don’t waste your time telling me someone else says it’s done their way. Cause they’re all wrong… :/ If you think what I’ve described is not possible please say why yourself..? With known science… ??
Again, there are no photons, no duality, no super position, no big bang, no echo from it, no cosmic expansion, no faster and faster., and of course no dark energy…
I make nothing up of my own… I just arrange known dots in their correct order. Along with falsifying a lot of retarded guesswork.
There is more to say too… Like CMBR is simply a cosmic version of the Twin Slit Experment… The EM light-waves from all the galaxies are the equivalent slits. They just causing a much lower, softer, and smoother interference pattern on earth, it being the back wall. We detect it with our electronic ‘antennas’ and call it white noise…, and CMBR
I can also explain in great detail..;
Why the third polar filter allows light to pass after it's blocked by the first two.
How and why Gravity is what it is the one and only force in the cosmos.
Along with why be perceive light as being invariant.
Just ask if you want to know how things really work.. :)
IMHO
Our ‘modern’ physics is way off track. The only real answers are based on Classic Physics… GR, SR, and all the rest including photons, expansion, dark energy, etc. are just opinions based on surface observations and just plain dumb.

Standard physics I believe... In this case.., a wave that will come to produce the spectrum most living beings on earth have developed a means to see as light and sight.
Photons, which I will henceforth quite often call 'messenger photons' to keep their distinction separate from that of light's 'visible' waves, are particles that can be deflected by gravity. It was thought that photons had no mass but apparently they do, as even Einstein believed possible back then. Only that their mass is too slight to measure. And since they are basically electrons which are known to have mass, and they are not the EMS wave that they produce, I am going on that premise. Here is another validation...
(Added May 1st 2015)
A snip from wiki.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boson#Elementary_bosons
Click and read if you wish but it states in a nutshell that all observed elementary particles are either fermions or bosons and that the observed elementary bosons include photons and the Higgs Boson.
That photons are the force carriers of the electromagnetic field. And that the Higgs Bosons give other particles mass via the Higgs mechanism.
Ergo.., photons have mass.
PLEASE NOTE... While it is widely believed that photons themselves are light, we have found by what is known in other areas of science and my own expertise in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), that they are simply the carriers of potential light... As photons travel their paths they are simply ‘transmitters’ that radiate a wave that evolution has given us the ability to see.
Most radio or TV stations are stationary and radiate their particular frequency outward at the speed of light.. There are mobile transmitters too but of course at their speed, they do not affect their outgoing radiation in any way.
(Below rewritten for conciseness May 2nd 2015) But please visualize a radio transmitter that is itself traveling at the speed of light. As I am sure you will agree photons do. Or nearly so... I actually expect they travel at something slower than ‘c’, which we’ll get into below. But for now think ‘c’. You will see, that because of this speed, they are able to keep up with their radiated wave in their direction of travel... So what happens..? Blue shifting of course... To the extreme... Where the transmitter and the wave are traveling at the exact same speed there will be no higher frequency to compress that wave up to. All points of the wavefront will be in the same place at the same time, and so it will cancels itself out... There will be no frequency...
But only in that exact forward direction...
The wavefront.., meaning any one particular + peak, or cycle, of the photon’s sine wave frequency that is emanating outward in all directions, will be blue shifted less and less as the angle of radiation moves further away from the maximum shift at the direct line of travel.. The outgoing wavefront emanating from the ‘rear’ of the photon as it travels forward will be the particle’s native frequency and it will be left warped and distorted and hanging in space.., the rearmost radiated cycles will remain exactly where they were placed in space, not moving at all. It’s hard for me to even imagine EMR standing still in space... lol It seems they should simply fall on the floor dead... :)
But just outward from the forward line of travel the wave will, degree by degree, become longer and longer. This continuous lengthening produces an infinite electromagnetic spectrum, to be laid down on any surface the photon hits.. From the ultimate highest cycles.., or hertz.., possible to the lowest possible.., that which is cosmos long. From the center line of travel, to the perpendicular 90 degree point from that center.
Science has also developed devices that can see above and below what we know as light. Science is searching the cosmos viewing x-rays and microwaves. And as above, those frequencies are brought to us by photons too. Every photon delivers the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Not to say it's limited to photon particle delivery, but that the principal and ability is there and happening.
One of the paradoxes states that light will always measure the same speed, aka 'c', and that it cannot be exceeded. Not even if one light source is obviously traveling much faster than another light source. That one maximum speed of the universe is faster than another maximum speed of the universe. As seen by an outside viewer. Stranger still is that it will measure the same speed whether shining in the direction of travel or against it. That if you were to shine a light forward toward the nose of a space ship traveling at one half 'c', light would measure 'c'. And if you were to shine a light to the rear of that space ship traveling forward at one half 'c', the light would measure 'c' again. Sounds impossible..? Yes it does.
But it's obviously possible because we are on the space ship earth. And we are traveling through the cosmos pretty fast ourselves. And likewise it applies in every case where light is seen by eyes or measured with devices while traveling at any speed through the cosmos.
The puzzle presented above is obviously answered by the fact that it considers two separate POV’s at once. One from the point of measuring the light from within the space ship’s inertial frame.., and the other from the POV of an observer measuring the speed of the space ship from their own inertial frame.
What is happening in truth..?
Nothing much as far as the delivery system goes. The messenger photons and the waves they generate travel at their particular rates of speed throughout the cosmos, not influenced at all by any sense of relativity.
Photons remain virtually unchanged through any of the many inertial frames of reference they traverse. Their speed is basically constant cosmos wide. Each inertial frame is presented with the exact same phenomenon of light coming in at the cosmic wide distribution speed. Riding the universal aether or whatever. The light that is measured in the space ship and on the earth is the same light traveling at the very same speed. The only difference being the aging rates of the atoms in those in particular inertial frames viewing it. Their perception or operating speeds... Which is the true relativity... Every inertial frame is relative to light..
In a nutshell, individuals in any inertial frame, whether it be on earth, in a space ship, or any other velocity, will simply be seeing the portion of the cosmic wide electromagnetic spectrum that fits their particular perception ability; their atom's speed of operation. Light will appear at the portion of the cosmos spectrum that matches the wavelengths their eyes and minds have evolved to see as visible light. In addition, whatever the wavelength is that produces light in their eyes will be seen the same by all measuring devices, atomic clocks, etc. in that frame... So *everything* in any frame will be seeing and reading the same in every frame, whether it is operating faster or slower according to its particular gravity strength.
All in all, it is a pretty sure bet that if you're physically aging slower and your perceptions are lower accordingly, and you want to paint your room blue, your brain is going to want to see a wavelength that relates to blue to your eyes and slowed mind. So you see blue at a lower frequency of the spectrum...
So what one sees is the particular frequency of the cosmic electromagnetic spectrum that matches the wavelength their eyes and brain have evolved to see as blue.. Because slower perceptions will need longer frequencies to equate, they use a lower set of frequencies from the photons overall cosmic spectrum, that is presented to all frames equally.
That is of course relativity. But NOT as currently understood to be related to time stretching, dilating, etc. All of that is not relative.
Extending this thinking further, we know that in all frames where people are seeing visible light, there is a frequency range above it that we on earth call x-rays. And while it is known in earth's inertial frame that x-rays are dangerous to humans, if we were to be in a slower velocity with perceptions running faster, those x-rays would still be dangerous. But in the new frame they would just be seen as the color blue again.., and not be considered dangerous. The reason being with our faster rate of living and dying in that new frame they would not affect us quickly enough.
That of course brings on the thought that we're being damaged at a very slow rate by the color blue right now. In fact we are. Because it still is another frame's x-rays. You can actually see that damage if you look at the back of your couch that has been facing the picture window for awhile. Or a wall where a picture had been hanging for awhile.
In other words, the entire spectrum, even those frequencies we think don't exist, those below our zero, those that take a day or more for a single cycle, may be the color blue to some extremely high velocity viewer. It's all relative you know..? This is how it works. I just don't know the limits... If there are any.
And in case you puzzle over surfaces reflecting higher or lower frequencies that those in various frames continue to see as blue, remember that the paint's molecules expand and contract accordingly too.
PROPAGATION OF THE VISIBLE PORTION OF THE SPECTRUM
A messenger photon is a particle that vibrates, spins, or otherwise produces a wave as it travels through the cosmos. It matters not how it is generated, nor why, nor what that frequency is... As photons are known to radiate any of a variety of frequencies. A photon is in other words a mobile transmitter spreading its radiation outward in all directions as it travels. But at this point the photon’s frequency is not the full spectrum we see as light...
As the messenger photon transmitter travels towards our eyes, the forward going wave front is compacted upward to our visible range and displayed as such on any surface the messenger photon hits. This then is the only when, where, and how the EMS is effectively created... And it is the reason we can't see light leaving us or from any other direction than straight on. It is not hitting our eyes straight on to create any spectrum. Frequencies emitted from the side or trailing are simple the native frequency of the photon.., and not a spectrum at all..
A simple verification of that is to consider a point source that two people near each other can easily see. Each can see the photons coming into their own eyes. But neither can see the photons that are going at an angle into the other person's eyes. I expect if they could we would all see nothing but a continuous glare of white light all around us.
But the photons are still invisibly there. Because either person can put their hand in the path going to the other person's eyes and see the reflection from those photons, that being their lighted hand itself. After the visual spectrum was created when the photon hit your hand and that spectrum then reflected to the eyes.
The original incoming visible spectrum of the overall EMS is normally seen as white as it contains all the colors. But reflections carry only the frequency of the color a particular surface is capable of returning, such as blue at 475 nm. Reflections also tell us the distance the surface is from our eyes by hitting each eye from a slightly different angle. And so with millions or billions of photon wave reflections working together we're able to see the three dimensional room we're in. Not well, but enough for human use.
‘Not well’ meaning that it is incoherent light. Many frequencies mix with the result that they cancel out to various extents, including totally. So we have to pull visible light frequencies from that sludge of lowered energy. On the other hand, with coherent light where all peaks and valleys of a particular frequency are brought into line, it can cut steel. No sludge... :)
The rest is that, upon arrival, messenger photons are absorbed into the surfaces they hit, along with all of their non reflected waves which degrade that surface over time.
So watch what you watch.
THE PHOTON
Here again I'd like to say I'm only human. And that I have no idea of how low or slow, or high and fast the cosmos works. We know many things but I'm sure much more goes on that we earth-bounders can't feel, measure, see, or believe... That an atom in my fingertip can affect atoms in the Andromeda Galaxy gives some idea of this. That such a wide range of frequencies can be brought to us by an electron trying to get through the attractions and obstacles of the cosmos, to travel so far and to have their radiations travel so much further when reflected back additional great distances, such as views we can see from mountain tops or that of the moon is mind-boggling. The energy levels expended and the potentials that seem to abound in the cosmos are tremendous, or on the other hand there are those that are immeasurably weak and inconsequential as seen from our POV too. But obviously to the cosmos they are both an equal part of it. Forces that are more invasive and controlling than we not-totally-sentient beings can imagine.
So here goes the Nobel Prize Material. :)
As above, but reiterated here with a little more detail... When first considering a photon coming at us and emitting a frequency that was blue shifted upward to what we see as light, we realized that since the photon was traveling at the speed of light, it could not radiate a wave ahead of itself without keeping up with it as it was being created. In other words that every point of the forward going wave front would be at the same instant as every other point.., and they would therefore cancel out. There would be no frequency.
But then we saw this would only happen in the extreme straight on direction. Since a particle radiates in all directions at once we looked a degree or two away from straight on and we began to see extremely high frequencies that had not been blue shifted out of existence starting to build in amplitude. They were simply not being pushed to extinction. They had their own speed of light but on another tack. Those various angles off from straight ahead not so totally compressed. And as the angle away from straight ahead is increased degree by degree, there is less and less blue shifting, allowing lower and lower incoming frequencies to spread out from the center.
We soon realized the angles of radiation from straight ahead, to 90 degrees, perpendicular to that forward direction, would contain all the frequencies that could ever be generated in any way imagined or needed, to please any inertial frame. In other words earth's entire electromagnetic spectrum *plus*. From the ultimate highest, albeit self canceling frequency, down to total flat-line zero at the 90 degree point where that degree goes perpendicular to our field of vision and not forward towards us at all.
What it amounts to, since photons radiate outward in all directions at once, is that as each photon hits a surface, the entire cosmic spectrum comes with it. It spreads itself outward from the center of impact, from highest to lowest frequency. Specifically relating to the light spectrum portion here, you will see the highest frequency colors hit first, in a circle close around the center, followed by each slower frequency, cycle by cycle, laying down the rest of the rainbow of rings moving outward.
It is this range of frequencies, including those above and below the visible spectrum that is presented to all inertial frames equally. And each inertial frame sees its particular portion of it... Duplicating what we see here on earth except that other frames will not be using the exact same section of the much wider cosmos spectrum that we use. They zero in on the area of wavelengths that are valid to their particular speed of perception. That range becomes their individual electromagnetic spectrum.
This native frequency may be determined by sending a photon across a measuring device field of vision with the idea of capturing whatever frequency is radiated outward at that 90 degree point. Sideways to its direction of travel where there would be no forward blue shifting at all. This to determine for one, that many would be in the microwave range.
When seen in graph form, outward going distances for the blue and red frequencies traveling at light speed, vs. a photon's straight on travel at light speed, is easily understood. The horizontal distance a wave travels out from the photon is in direct relationship to the photon's forward travel as determined by the angle away from that center. A forward wave front coming from say 5 degrees off the center line will produce the blue frequency and a wave front coming from say 10 degrees off center, the line of travel, will produce the red frequency.
For all waves to hit a flat plane target, the waves that come from greater degrees will have longer paths, so they will extend further from the center line when they hit the wall, and of course blue-shifted less, to be lower in frequency, thus producing the spectrum.
As the frequencies from each incoming photon are applied to a surface from high to low, from the center outward, producing concentric circles of colors, with successive wave cycles starting to paint the blue circles again before the previous red waves even arrive.
I have a quick drawing of this here.

TWIN SLIT EXPERIMENT
This experiment seems to be synonymous with the study of light. But I'll explain it anyway. I can almost hear the groans. :)
In any case, it is apparently the ultimate challenge to discovering how light produces the various results it gives. I have heard it said that if one does, they get the Nobel Prize. So I will do that. Lets see how much of it is true.
It can be done several ways, with the sun, lasers, or even incoherent light. And they all give basically the same result. Two surfaces are set up one behind the other. The near surface having two side-by-side slits, each just wide enough to pass a vertical column of single photons. The near surface then has light applied to it to see what transpires.
What does transpire is that as the messenger photons approach the near surface, their visible spectrum waves hit the wall and are reflected back to the viewer. Everything is normal.
As some of the photons move through the slits, their radiated waves will again propagate forward and outward to reflect off the far wall. With one slit open the back wall be covered with light, with the brightest area in line with the slit.. When the other slit is opened, the pack panel then shows several pronounced bars of light. For ease of describing, we will adjust the distance between the near and far surfaces to produce just five alternating bars of light and dark projected on the far wall with the center bar being between the two slits. The bars indicating the interference pattern expected from two waves crossing. But this is often where the experiment ends, and we are left in one of the dark areas as to why all this is happening.
When both slits are open and the propagations mix, their + peaks and - valleys become additive or subtractive according to their offset at any point across that far surface, which is a step towards coherency. The offset at any point being determined by the difference in distance from each of the two slits. Looking at say five vertical bars that are formed, the wave peaks that create the two bars in line with the slits are at just say a level 2 intensity. Ignoring the dark canceled out valleys, cause we all know why they are so.., the peaks that also occur on either side of the two slit bars will each be say a level of 1-1/2 and will be the two outside bars of the five total. The two 1-1/2 level peaks towards the middle between the slits will overlap each other and therefore produce the brightest bar with an intensity total of 3.
Keep in mind that each photon produces a set of colored circles with red being the outermost. Coming in with various delays, each circle will not overlay perfectly. They will overlap and produce fringe colors. Red for instance being the longest and slowest it won't line up perfectly with the blue circles. So there will likely be a slight reddish tinge appearing towards the outside edges of the outside bars. Which I know does happen. I’ve seen them.
The entire interference process is well known, so I haven't included any drawings or charts to show it... It is the same as mixing any two or more sine waves. Including the ripples on a pond caused by two stones tossed into it.
The full and final view I would like to leave you with is that of a photon coming straight at you. Very enlarged so that you can actually see it... It will look like the head of a bullet with a shock wave around it. The exact center of the bullet will be black. And moving outward in concentric circles one will be able to detect high frequencies starting to build from the center out in slowly lengthening waves. Y rays, X rays, U-V and into the visible. You will then see with your own eyes vivid circular bands of color circling the centre like a target.., with rings from the deepest of blue to the reddest red.
Outward from the visible we go back to the unseen but still detectable circles of microwaves and then longer lengths of FM, TV, AM and other radio.
Each of the wavelengths of that entire radiated spectrum is created by the difference in distance away from the bullet's foremost center point, around to its 90 degree circumference point. Each being blue shifted less and less.
As for the ‘measuring’ that is being done that causes the interference pattern to stop, I do not know how that measuring is being done so I cannot explain what is happening, but I think it will now be clear to those who are doing that measuring.
COSMOS EXPANSION
Refined on May 9th 2015.
As we look at light coming from the edge of the visible universe we see it red shifted. This is being taken to mean the cosmos is expanding.
But it is said by some in the scientific community that it may well be an illusion brought on by factors we have not yet detected or just do not understand.
I believe there is a more reasonable explanation. And with scientific support, here is where we deviate from the commonly accepted idea that photons travel at the speed of light themselves. Having mass they cannot possibly travel at the speed of light... They are merely radiating the electromagnetic wave that becomes visible light. Which of course actually does travel ‘at the speed of light’. Because that’s what it is... :)
1. While a messenger photon's mass may appear minuscule and immeasurable to us, its speed and direction are affected by gravity. That and other findings clearly indicate they must have mass. As I have read even Einstein himself allowed for. In any case, when all is considered, it is clear that a messenger photon cannot travel at the speed of light.. What that speed exactly is has to be determined., and an early estimate is given in the link below.
There is evidence and science to support this idea... Google it... Or for one example see..: ‘Vacuum’ of course meaning deep space... Their normal environment.
physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2015/jan/22/structured-photons-slow-down-in-a-vacuum
This of course will require a lot of re-calculated distances that have until now been figured using light years. The cosmos is about to get smaller... :)
In any case, traveling slower would not create any tangible difference when it came to the photon actually producing the EMS. It only doing so at the instant it hits a surface and ‘stops’...
Now that it is becoming known that photons run slower than ‘c’, the only difference would be that the wave they radiate in the forward line of travel will not be blue shifted as much. The messenger photon’s speed will not be able to cancel that foremost direction totally out. So the entire circular electromagnetic spectrum that is produced will simply be pulled inward and closer to the center.
The photon’s velocity relative to its EM wave does nothing more than set the point at which the top end of the cosmic EMS begins... But the waves themselves will still travel outward at ‘c’, the speed of light, and we still see our frames EMS the same in either case.
What it boils down to is the actual native frequency of the messenger photon must be slowing, or lowering, perhaps in a linear manner for most of its travel.., but more likely exponentially as it ages and comes to the end of it’s wave producing ability. This is totally logical and would give the appearance of more and more red shift the further away the photon originates. Also that the red shift was increasing at an ever increasing rate the further out one looks.
There is a means to verify this... Simply measure the native frequency of photons coming from near sources compared to those from the outer edges of the cosmos... The average should be lower from the more distant sources. This measuring might be done as suggested in the twin slit experiment above. By recording the frequency of a photon passing across the front of a measuring device...
That would explain the fewer and fewer galaxies and stars that are seen as we look further out. That photons just lose their light producing ability after a certain distance. That it just stops. That a photon continues to produce visible light forever is not easy to believe in the first place. So simply because we can’t see light beyond a certain point in the cosmos.., does that mean there is nothing beyond.? No..! It does not...
In any case, that photons cannot generate light forever fits in very nicely with the rest of what is observed in the universe.
Of course the further away a point source is, the less messenger photons will be reaching us, spreading apart as they do over distance. As it is, some further galaxies send us photon particles at a rate of one every few minutes. So we probably will not be spending the five years it might take, looking at one spot in the cosmos, to register enough photons from much further out.
It is said that Earth’s view of the universe is the same view as any other vantage point in the universe.
Because, as we look out into the cosmos we can see an equal distance in all directions. The first thing that comes to mind other than the absurd idea that we are at the exact center of the universe, along with the fact that the exact center where the big bang was supposed to have taken place cannot be found, is that there is simply much more to the universe than we can see. That there is a limit to the distance a photon can travel while still producing a visible and viable frequency. That there is much more beyond that we cannot see.
So if we're not really in the center of the universe, photons traveling their maximum distance to earth from all directions around us can only mean that we are only able to see a portion of the universe and that we are in the center of that visible portion. And perhaps trillions of light years beyond the edge of our visible universe in any direction may well be groups of other life form cosmologists who see themselves in the center of their own visible portion of the universe.
So it all seems to point to the fact that there are bubbles of visible universes for those who have evolved the ability to see in the same manner we have.
Is that totally weird idea of multiple universes and dimensions hiding in there somewhere.? lol Maybe those who use calculations based on ‘t’ have stumbled onto an abstracted version of what is truly happening in our much larger than will ever be known physical universe. It seems so... A similar concept of multiple bubble universes.., but brought about more realistically with the math and concepts based on characteristics of physical atoms and particles instead of imagined time stretching, folding, forming worm holes, and whatever.
GRAVITY LENS
Just a point to show that messenger photons are particles with mass and can be deflected by gravity. A well known example of this is the Gravity Lens. Many examples of this exist in the cosmos. Where messenger photons are coming from a distant galaxy that is behind a planet blocking Earth's view of it.., we can see that the planet's gravity field bends some of that galaxy's more outward bound photons around itself so the Earth will be able to see a distorted image of that galaxy., at least enough to know it's there. The messenger photons generating the light waves are able to be seen coming around the outside edge of the planet. In a perfect situation with the distant galaxy, planet, and an observer on earth all being in a straight line, the light from the galaxy will be seen to form a thin circle around the blocking planet. But in most cases, deflected light from distant galaxies will be seen as arcs around the planet.
DARK ENERGY
The name given as the reason one sees an increasing red shift the further out one looks.... An observation that gives the impression the cosmos is not only expanding but doing so at an ever increasing rate. That galaxies are speeding away from us faster and faster. That some day the cosmos will be nothing but black to us. :/
That appears to be a rather unthinking lockstep deduction with no logic or consideration of other possible factors or causes. For instance, how much further out into that ten billion trillion times larger unseen portion of the universe would you have to go for everything to be moving faster than the speed of light.
I certainly expect it can be explained by normal and less sensational factors of a non-expanding cosmos.
It is much more likely that photons degrade over distance and do so more quickly towards the end of their ability to create light. That their native frequencies become lower over distance and that they simply drop down more quickly towards the end, before stopping altogether. We have already laid out the very likely scenario where the cosmos is not expanding, so a faster and faster steady-state would be an oxymoron.
It seems this new ‘force’ is another nothing. Another illusion to us earth-bounders.
BACKGROUND RADIATION
The background hiss said to be left over from the big bang may well be coming from photons that have come from beyond the visible universe, with their sine wave frequencies now slowed to below the visible range... Into the microwave range.
