The Mystery of the Photons Energy Stability, - in Space-time.
Continued..............
Bjarne, cut out the large fiery letters! It is the sign of idiots, and you don't exactly need that.
No it is the sign of concentration, and only looks idiotic until you understand it.
Bjarne
- What happens to the lost of photon energy when a photons moves away from e.g.; the Sun?
- How can a photon gain energy, for example when it is approaching the Earth?
- Where does gained energy comes from?
Basically the same place as if it was a rock.
Hans
Gravity interaction transfers energy between moving objects.
So in your example, the energy goes to the Sun and comes from the Earth.
Completely crap, there are no mass attractions on particles without mass.
Bjarne
We have often heard that energy cannot disappear. But this is (according to the prevailing understanding) what must happen to photons traveling through the expanding universe, or in space-time (away from a gravitational field).
Hans
No, it is just transferred somewhere else. It does not disappear.
Tell me about that "
something"
Let me try to make it more simple and clear.
Let's say; Observer "A" live in a space time ticking double so fast as for observer "B"
In on second Observer "A" counts 5 Hz in a photon.
Observer "B" counts 10 Hz per second in another photon..
If Observer "A" also could see the photon in Observer "B's" space-time, he would counts the frequency duration to 2 seconds, but the photons frequency in his own space-time would only last 1 second. Hence Observer A would conclude both photons had the same energy.
Observer "B" would also agree that also the photon in Observer "A" space-time had the same energy than the one in Observer "B's" space-time", although the duration of the photon in observer "A's" space-time only would appear to last ½ second.
Based on Planck's constant we would hence easy conclude that both photons always had the same energy (per second), - even though the frequencies (and time) are different.
This mean if time is double so fast, by observer "A", - a photon here, (by observer "B") with the double numbers of frequencies, (and double "stretch" of time) will have the same energy as a photon with the half number of frequencies in Observer "A's" reality.
Therefore
time (space-time) is decisive for that photons
with difference frequencies are absorbed
in different space-time..
Now imaging that both observer measure 1 meter between each wavelength.
But when Observer "B" would use his meter stick to measure the wavelength of the photon in Observer "A's" space-time, he would only measure the half distance (2.5 meter, not 5 meter) - (if we assume the Universe was only half the size in Observer "A's" space-time).
Now imaging that this photon (from Observer "A's" space-time) would move in the universe 1 billion years, until we (Observer "B") would measure it - In that billion years the Universe have expanded to the double size, and so have the photons wavelength, now is the distance between of the total wavelength suddenly 5 meter.
But time is no longer the same as when the photons energy was measured by Observer "A" , - In the billion year the journey have taken, time has also "stretched" to the double "size", - and this mean the photon measured in the "new time", (by Observer "B") "suddenly" only have the half energy.
THIS is how to understand cosmological redshift.
- Photons do NEVER lose energy.
- Photons do NEVER gain energy.
Time and distance are changing proportional with anything else.
THIS was the secret of cosmological redshift.
Photon absorptions specter are "time stamps" send from different space-time.
Photons do not "carry time", - they are measured in time, or absorbed in time.
THIS is a
consequence of uniting stretched space (the curvature of space) (GR) with the expanding nature of the expanding Uiniverse.
