The expanding space theory applies to all space
ok I get it now , so the photons inside a galaxy are being
carried by the proposed expanding space theory because they
are not gravitationally bound to other objects in the galaxy.
this would add even more distance between the photons.
heres a excerpt from an article I just read.
so no, matter* on a local level isn’t expanding. The spaces between planets and stars isn’t growing. Only the distances between galaxies which aren’t gravitationally bound to each other is increasing. Because space itself is expanding.
matter* meaning the planets and stars are not growing in size.
http://www.universetoday.com/107142/is-everything-in-the-universe-expanding/ the above is similar to many articles I have read in the past
that are attempting to explain the expanding space theory.
and the articles all pretty much say the same things about it.
Im going to go with what the articles are saying about it
because they aren't discussing the expansion with me even
though the authors of the articles may believe in the theory.
I actually like your analogy about the boats tied together
floating on the currents of the sea.
the current of the sea would be moving each of the boats that
are tied together , and that is not a good analogy of the
inside of a galaxy when describing the expanding space theory
because according to the theory space does not expand inside a galaxy.
because light waves are not gravitationally bound to the
planets or suns in a galaxy , this means that light waves can pass through a galaxy without bending unless they become close enough to a gravity field to be bent by the gravity field.
and at the same time the light waves will be carried along
with the expanding space , even though the planets and stars are not being carried by the expanding space , if the theory were correct that is.
geez... I just read what I wrote and it has nothing to do
with anything logical and that is why I struck it from the record.
I must be careful or soon I will find myself venturing down
fantasy lane along with the qmers and the space expanders.
so here is my correction of my misguided thoughts.
since the space between the planets and stars would not be expanded by the proposed expanding space theory then the
light from a star inside a galaxy would not be carried by the proposed expanding space theory because the space inside the galaxy is not expanding.
but the light that exits a galaxy would be carried by the expanding space if the expanding space theory is correct.
