Does the Hubble redshift flip photons and gravitons?

Abstract

Due to the Hubble redshift, photon energy, chiefly in the form of CMBR photons, is currently disappearing from the universe at the rate of nearly 10 55 erg s −1 . An ongoing problem in cosmology concerns the fate of this energy. In one interpretation it is irretrievably lost, i.e., energy is not conserved on the cosmic scale. Here we consider a different possibility which retains universal energy conservation. Treating gravitational potential energy conventionally as 'negative', it has earlier been proposed that the Hubble shift flips positive energy (photons) to negative energy (gravitons) and vice versa. The lost photon energy would thus be directed towards gravitation, making gravitational energy wells more negative. Conversely, within astrophysical bodies, the flipping of gravitons to photons would give rise to a 'Hubble luminosity' of magnitude −UH 0 , where U is the internal gravitational potential energy of the object. Preliminary evidence of such an energy release is presented in bodies ranging from planets, white dwarfs and neutron stars to supermassive black holes and the visible universe.

Optical gravity in a graviton spacetime

“…A graviton conjugate so constructed would also have its highest density where filaments converge near masses, thus satisfying the requirement in the optical-mechanical analogy that the index of refraction and density of the medium at a point around a mass are proportional to the gravitational field strength at that point. Gravitons modeled as virtual photons of some sort would also connect generally with the polarizable vacuum approach [6] [17] [21]. They might then be seen as maintaining spacetime structures in like fashion to the virtual photons which maintain atomic electronic structures.…”

“…While this lack of agreement affords a clue that perhaps none of these scenarios is correct, other evidence suggests that the universe could actually be existing in a state of stable equilibrium, neither expanding nor contracting (e.g. Edwards, 2012). Given this state of uncertainty, the possibility should be kept open that an advanced civilization, using EER and ESC, could potentially range to the farthest corners of the universe.…”

Indications from space geodesy, gravimetry and seismology for slow Earth expansion at present – comment on “The Earth expansion theory and its transition from scientific hypothesis to pseudoscientific belief” by Sudiro (2014)

“…The latter proposals fell to ground when no observational evidence for a decreasing G could be found (e.g., Uzan, 2003). Another mechanism with a cosmological tie was proposed by the author (Edwards, 2006(Edwards, , 2012a(Edwards, , b, 2014. Here it was proposed that the internal gravitational potential energy of a mass or system of masses, U , is converted to photons and heat at a rate given by −U H 0 .…”
