WHAT DO ASTROPHYSICISTS ACTUALLY SEE 
Astrophysicists claim that they see objects at the edge of the visible universe that are13.2 billion light years away and traveling away from us at 10.3 times the speed of light.They claim the light left the object 480 million years after the big bang. They claim it is31.7 billion light years away from us today. I see many problems with these statements.Unless expansion is slowing, even at 10.3 times the speed of light, it could only havereached 5 billion light years from the big bang when the light left it. However, the speedand distance is relative to us, not the big bang. For it to have been 13.2 billion lightyears away, when the light left it, we would have to have been traveling slightly faster than 1 ½ the speed of light for 13.2 billion years placing us 19.8 billion years from the big bang. Having just caught up with the light, we are looking away from the big bang,seeing light that was emitted around 13.2 billion years ago when the object was 5.6 lightyears from the big bang. We are seeing events happening in reverse time.At a speed of 11.8 times the speed of light,relative to the big bang, the object would be156 billion light years from the big bang and 137.2 light years away from us, not 31.7.This assumes that we and the object have always traveled at these speeds. This wouldnot be true in an expanding universe. Objects at the edge will maintain their speed, butall other objects will slow down, due to the nature of expansion.Assuming that objects at the edge of the universe are traveling at 11.8 times the speedof light, then they are 156 billion light years from the big bang today. If we are within31.7 billion light years of the object today, we are 124.2 light years from the big bangand traveling at a speed of 5.95 times the speed of light today. The object would not betraveling 10.3 times the speed of light relative to us.In order for it to be travelling 10.3 times the speed of light faster than us, we must betraveling at 1.5 times the speed of light today. That would place us at about 78 billionlight years from the big bang. But that puts us 72 billion years from the object when itemitted the light, not 13.2.If you assume that the object at the edge of the universe is slowing down, then it becomes even more impossible to justify the numbers. Of course this all assumes thatlight's speed is always the same relative to us, or as Einstein put it, relative to everyone.I don't believe that for a minute.According to my theory,GOOD VIBRATIONS a guide to the universered shift onlyoccurs when the beam of light passes through a gas cloud. All things being equal, everygas cloud would absorb the same wavelengths. However, when the beam is partiallywithin the cloud, and partially in surrounding space, the speed of the beam is alteredsuch that photons are not travelling at the normal speed within the cloud. Since objects,including clouds, within an expanding universe, are moving at different speeds, relativeeven to expanding space, this shifting of the absorbtion lines is more significant withdistance from the big bang. The speed of space itself is relative to the cube of the

distance from the big bang, as is the speed of matter. The difference in speeds of matter versus space is also relative to the cube of the distance.Objects only twice as far away, would appear to be red shifted 8 times as much. Notonly is that a problem for physicists trying to judge speed and distance, add to that thefact that light speed is relative to the medium it passes through as well as the speed of the medium. Objects appear farther away due to redshift, and the slower light speed onlycooberates this misassumption. They don't detect the slower speed, since when the lightenters our solar system, it moves at normal light speed within the medium. But thealtered speed through gas clouds has altered light in other ways that astrophysicistsassociate with distance. Scattering occurs when light enters mediums of differingspeeds. The greater the difference, the greater the scattering. With more photonsabsorbed and scattered, the overall light is dimmer.The object they see at the edge of the visible universe is not moving at 10 times thespeed of light, nor is it likely that the light came from 13.2 billion light years away. It alldepends on the direction the light is coming from. Again, once it enters our solar system,it moves at the speed of light relative to us, regardless of its speed outside our solar system. If it is coming from the direction of the big bang, its speed relative to us willspeed up as it enters faster and faster medium. At the same time we are moving awayfrom it faster than any of the medium between us. It will be at its fastest, relative to us,when it finally reaches our solar system.It it is coming from the other direction, it is initially moving toward us at a slow speedsince the medium it passes through is moving away from us very quickly. As itapproaches us, it speeds up(relative to us) as it passes through medium that is movingaway from us more slowly. At the same time we are moving toward it, but slower thanany of the medium between us. It will be at its fastest (relative to us), when it finallyreaches us.If space at the edge of the visible universe is expanding at the speed of light, which ismore likely the case, and the universe is 13.7 billion years old, then the radius of theuniverse is 13.7 billion light years. The Hubble Constant says that our area of theuniverse is expanding at a rate of 70 km/s over a distance of 3,260,000 light years. Thisexpansion only occurs at a particular distance from the center of the universe. This putsus 7,664,259,960 light years from the center of the universe where space is expandingoutward at a speed of 52,084 km/s relative to the big bang. This assumes a HubbleConstant of 70 km/s, a speed of light of 300,000 km/s and an age for the universe of 13.7 billion years.Although we are only slightly over 6 billion light years from the edge of the visibleuniverse, what appears to be 13.7 billion light years away may only be a few billionlight years away. Physicists can't see beyond the big bang in the other direction. It is7.664 billion light years away and would appear to be much more than 13.7 light yearsaway if they could actually see it. If they could see beyond it, they would see a large
