The universe may be twice as old as previously thought

Rajendra Gupta, adjunct professor of physics at the University of Ottawa, bring into the calculus a 1929 theory from Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky. The theory claims that photons get “tired” as they travel across vast distances, and lose energy over the course of billions of years.

While this conflicts with observable redshift data, Gupta says that “by allowing this theory to coexist with the expanding universe, it becomes possible to reinterpret the redshift as a hybrid phenomenon, rather than purely due to expansion,” in a press release.

His results were published earlier this month in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society....<<<Read More>>>....
