Reading your "could space be considered as the inertial rest frame"
in the SPIE vol 9570 <br>
I would very much like to find an alternative explanation for the
red shift and am interested in your absorption line argument<br>
but do not understand your logic.<br>
<br>
If a star is moving away from us both the inner and outer corona are
moving at the same velocity.<br>
The inner corona atom emits light "f<sub>0</sub>'that is red shifted
To "f" in the media due to its motion<br>
The outer corona atom absorbs light at frequency "f" that is blue
shifted relative to its natural "f<sub>0</sub>' frequency because it
is moving toward the source<br>
This leaves a hole in the spectra in the media at "f" red shifted<br>
An atom on earth is not moving toward the source and therefore the
arriving light will still be at red shift frequency "f" <br>
atoms on the earth with natural "f<sub>0</sub>' frequency will not
be able to absorb the light <br>
<br>
All light frequencies shift and the hole at "f" is red shifted due
to the motion of the star away from us.<br>
Why do you say this is not a doppler effect?<br>
<br>
I would like to find a gravitational argument rather than a Doppler
argument fro the red shift, but do not understand how your argument
works.<br>
What am I doing Wrong?<br>
