or perhaps redshift is caused by interstellar medium
And/or charged plasma. Charged plasma, which we know exists, would provide red shift, illusion of larger distances, expansion, black holes, and I expect accounts for "dark energy" and "dark matter."
They've built (catholic church - bbt) a house of cards which doesn't survive scrutiny and requires impossibilities. Any physics which requires infinity is wrong. Infinity is a mathematical ideology which has no basis in the physical world.
Just a few years ago they found half (!!!) of 'missing' matter in the universe because... wait for it... the particles were charged:
For some reason I'm not surprised.
Btw, good comment above, to which I originally replied. Ty.
Any physicswhich requires infinity is wrong. Infinity is a mathematical ideology which has no basis in the physical world.
Infinities are fine if used in an intermediate calculation. Calculus uses infinities and so do infinite series. They're just tools for modeling the universe. As long as the predictions are well-behaved, there is no problem.
Of course, when infinities show up in the prediction, like in black holes and in the big bang, that's obviously a problem with the model.
Infinities provide a theoretical position to model something. People forget physics describes a model of reality, not actual reality. So long as you are describing a model and not reality, that's fine. Which is why your assessment is accurate. But anyone attempting to declare infinity is a property of reality is wrong. Infinity isn't a property of reality (we have no evidence to support a contrary position and everything implies finite measurements).
For example, infinity of e=mc2, but we already know it's broken at the cosmological scale. But they keep piling on and pretending otherwise.
Starting in the 1920s (especially with Einstein), the world of physics took a terribly wrong turn.
You're exactly right that people confuse the model with reality. And it's not just the laypeople who do it. The vast majority of scientists do it as well. Because what they understand of reality they learned from the model, to them the two are one and the same.
