What if the James Webb finds the cosmic background radiation appears to be the light of ever further sources, redshifted completely off the visible spectrum? The solution to Olber’s paradox.

Here is an interesting paper, pointing out that while single spectrum light is only redshifted by recession, multi-spectrum light “packets” are redshifted by distance, as the higher frequencies dissipate faster than the lower ones;

Which raises the question of whether we are sampling a wave front, or detecting individual photons that have traveled billions of lightyears.

The fact is the Big Bang theory cannot be falsified, as whenever there is a gap between prediction and observation, some enormous force of nature is added and everyone goes looking for it. What if accountants could write in a figure and call it “dark money,” whenever they find a gap in the books?

The original patch was when they discovered this redshift is proportional in all directions, making it appear that we are at the center of this expansion. So it was changed from an expansion in space, to an expansion of space, because “spacetime!” Which completely overlooks the entire reason for spacetime, that the speed of light is always measured as a Constant, in any frame. If the light is redshifted, obviously the speed of intergalactic light cannot be Constant to intergalactic space.

Two metrics of distance/space are being derived from the same light. One based on its speed and the other based on its spectrum. Since this expansion is relative to the speed, ie, more lightyears, not stretched lightyears, it would seem the lightspeed is still assumed to be the actual denominator of space.

Since we are the center of our point of view, an optical effect might be worth considering. Possibly one that compounds on itself, explaining why the rate goes parabolic, outward from our point of view, rather than requiring dark energy to cause the curve in the rate, as it appears to drop off rapidly, then settle into a steadier rate, from an outside in point of view.

While I’ve found it fairly useless to try making this point, I am waiting on the James Webb to explore that background radiation and see what it finds.
