The New Physics of Cosmic Redshift

TL;DR

This paper proposes that cosmic redshift results from quantum mechanical photon propagation, challenging the traditional Doppler-based explanation and potentially eliminating the need for the big bang theory.

Contribution

It introduces a quantum mechanical explanation for cosmic redshift, offering an alternative to the conventional velocity-based models and the big bang hypothesis.

Findings

Redshift explained by quantum photon propagation

Challenges Doppler-effect as the sole cause of redshift

Supports a universe model without big bang

Abstract

Light rays received on earth from distant stars show redshift, being attributed conventionally to the well-known Doppler-effect of wave dynamics. The present study concludes that cosmic redshift rather is an effect of the quantum mechanical propagation of photons as explained by Nobel Laureate Richard FEYNMAN in his book on QED {2}. This alternative physics of cosmic redshift is fundamentally different from the conventional velocity argument and can therefore do without the controversial big bang idea.
