Robert, this discussion is about light on a one-way trip, not a radar signal on a two-way trip.
It’s also about the loss of some of the light being interpreted as a frequency shift. I don’t know if some of the radar signal is being lost.As to a distinction between doppler shift and doppler effect, check Edwin Hubble’s use of the terms in my…[Read more]

Read carefully what Edwin Hubble said:
If … a Doppler shift, a curiously small, dense, suspiciouly young universe.
If … not Doppler effects, a universe extended indefinitely in space and time.Bye bye Big Bang.

Beanie, the physicist you cite assumes the truth of expansion, aka recession.
He assumes he sees all the wavelengths and concludes they are stretched,
Instead, the shorter wavelengths do not survive their journey so he sees only the longer wavelengths.
Then, like religious folk, he tells a story.

Further, Robert, the Zwicky I cited in my below reply to Pope Beanie said tired light accounts for what Bangers refer to as doppler shifts.
In short, doppler shifts do not exist in electromagnetism, but legions of Bangers insist that they do exist.
Similar misuse of language was standard practice among people working in the Apollo program. They…[Read more]

First, PB, a reply that requires some knowledge of physics.

Robert, you say the radars you designed looked for opposing doppler SHIFTS. How certain are you that the radars did not look for doppler EFFECTS?
Scroll down to the Brain Cox-Darwin interview you posted five months back. One month later (just above it), I posted Edwin Hubble’s use of both terms. You will see they are not synonomous. -

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 7 years, 11 months agoClaim:
The hot bang best matches our observations,
Debunk:
The hot bang results from:
1) a hypothesis without evidence that because red shift (light) is a Doppler effect (sound), the universe is expanding, and
2) its expansion began from an imagined infinitely small and infinitely hot point. (LeMaitre’s ‘primeval atom).
None of that was obs…[Read more]-
Well, as for your first point it’s a wonder that the thousands of airborne weather RADARs I have designed over the years are able to detect turbulence and windshear as they do by looking for opposing doppler shifts of the electromagnetic pulse that we transmit. We then alert you pilot so he or she doesn’t kill you. Its not like we are an audio…[Read more]

OK, I see now that (at least some) physicists differentiate between the terms “doppler effect” and “doppler shift”. So, you’re not actually saying that recession of a star or galaxy does not cause redshift, but you’re saying that there is more than one possible cause of redshift. Right? (The physicist that I just read:…[Read more]

Tom, why don’t you just explain the difference between an electromagnetic doppler shift and a doppler effect, since I know a RADAR return is frequency shifted in either direction, proportionate to the velocity and direction of the target and that velocity is calculated by the doppler equation. Yes, the calculation for mechanical soundwaves are…[Read more]

Take a cue from your father, PB.
The Bang is a bunch of math-inclined folk who, to keep their taxpayer funding, are using a Genesis-like origin story to win allies in Congress. -

Hi Tom,
“I don’t see that as evidence. Do you?”
No. In itself it’s not purported to be evidence – it’s a statement of fact. I’m confident that NGT would love for you (or anyone else) to challenge the evidence behind this statement. As I’m not physicist of or a cosmologist I’m not going to waste my time trying. At this point it’s a matter of t…[Read more]

I’m not a diehard banger. It’s just that they seem to have the best ideas for what to research next in the quest to understand the univers, and a large enough community willing to spend time on it and try to educate us. I can’t even get straight talk from you about what kind of research you think the scientific community should work on next. All I…[Read more]

Jake, _Robert_ doubts that a competing theory is being suppressed by the “scientific religious” and says an example would be denial from publication of a sound research paper.
Here’s something from Hannes Alfven:

Read both parts of what Hubble said and you’ll know which part the a-centrists chose.
Track record? Don’t evaluate one until you know it.

Yeah, cosmology’s Standard Model is anthropocentrism’s last hurrah. May it rest in peace.

Thanks, Jake. At least you and I here on AZ see the Big Bang as a Big Fraud. Of course, with NASA’s budget anyone could publicize anything until many see it as true.
Have you seen Edwin Hubble’s words that point out the unsupported conclusion by a person who, IMO, deserves to remain unknown?

Jake, flawed science doesn’t get the same testing as good science.
The Big Bang’s mathematics gets tested—for elegance—by mathematicians. The universe refuses to obey.

private, I’m 87 and live in a veterans home with just over 1000 others: mostly veterans plus a few spouses of veterans.

Chris Reeve’s article says there is normal science, and there is controversial science. It says too that our reactions to controversial science reveal the depth of our thinking and our propensity to lead. (Like who wants to lead?)
