Expanding Universe

People talk about the universe expanding. They say the expansion is accelerating. The threshold of what we can see depends on the speed of light and the fact that as thing expand away from us faster than the speed of light, we can’t see them any more. Since the expansion is accelerating at some point it will appear as though the universe is collapsing in on us.

I don’t buy it. I have some ideas that have been rattling around in my head for half my life or so.

• Light has a half life or something along that line that causes a deterioration as light travels in a straight line.
• Gravity pulls light apart. The wavelength of light gets pulled longer and longer as light travels away from one source of gravity (the sun it came out of) to another source of gravity (our galaxy/solar system/planet)
• As light travels through the space it simply vanishes in to the ether that makes up all that dark energy, or as i call it hole in the math, that everyone keeps blabbering about.
• That, or reality has a half life. Time and matter do not exist until someone looks at it. As we look further and further in to the universe, whatever is generating reality has to generate more reality for us to look at. As we look further away, the resolution is lower. It works quite abit like a render engine of a computer game.
