- Modern day tired light proponents not only fail to take account of all the evidence, but also apply faulty reasoning. Here's one example:

"Regardless of your beliefs as to how the Universe started, one piece of experimental observation has to be explained - that is, in redshift, the photons of light have a longer wavelength on arrival at the Earth, than when they set off from the distant galaxy. This means that photons of light have less energy on arrival than when they set off.
Where did this energy go?"

- which fails to note that since the energy is stretched in space, it is also stretched in time, i.e., it takes a little longer for the same amount of energy to arrive. No energy if lost.

The tired light theory is defunct,

I will keep them and study them with great interest.
For they do show me how far behind I am, with the latest facts in Cosmological thinking.
