A scientist has revived a theory that was near to 100 years old to claim that the Big Bang never happened—that is, to disprove the most accepted theory in modern science.
In a paper published in the Particles journal, Kansas State University Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Lior Shamir, said that the photons that comprise light lose energy as they travel through space.
This century-old ‘Tired Light’ theory was first put forward by an astronomer named Fritz Zwicky in the year 1929 to explain the phenomenon of redshift or the idea that the energy of light corresponding to a wavelength increases in the process of its light flying to the observers.
According to relatively straightforward logic, there is then no way that the universe in fact must be recognising that the rate of expansion is actually accelerating instead of constant across formless creations and that the light that demonstrates this movement between galaxies is actually a dying force in decline as opposed to one in ascent.
Astronomers do not accept the theory; they have vehemently disagreed with the theory on numerous occasions, thus limiting compute consideration for the study of science and physics.
However, Shamir is bringing it back into the mix using samples garnered from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The fact was established in the 1920s by Edwin Hubble with the help of George Lemaitre: The more a galaxy is distant, the higher is the velocity with which it moves away from the Earth,” Shamir said.
Finally, that discovery contributed to the development of the Big Bang theory, which points out that the universe started to expand about 13.8 billion years ago.
”The tired light theory was completely sidelined as people in the field of astronomy accepted the Big Bang theory as the efficient model of the universe," Shamir added.
‘But the confidence of some astronomers in the Big Bang theory began to decline when the powerful James Webb Space Telescope began capturing light. ’
