you're saying that it is. i'm saying that it isn't. since you already know this, let's pretend this part of the discussion didn't happen
No I am not saying it
is. You should know that. It
was, as was all the universe of the day.
we know the distance of the ring because light from it is assumed to be identical to light from the supernova itself in terms of velocity. since the ring appears to us as being a property of the supernova, this has to be true. if you think otherwise, you have some explaining to do.
Assumed to be really just doesn't mean much. A neutron star was assumed to be appearing, but never did. Something is rotten in Denmark. I separate the ring light from the SN light. There is no need for them to be the same. One could be affected by the universe change, or both. Only after the split do we need a uniform light speed. If the ring formed either in the split process, or before, then the light cannot be expected to be uniform with anything else.
the ring lights up because supernova-ing stars are pretty bright. fluctuations in the luminosity of the star apparently cause the brightening and dimming of the ring. your thoughts?
What is a SN, really?? We have an explanation that it is a star exploded. If that is what it is, then possibly that is what causes the rings to flare up. But remember that they are far away, and it happened long ago. If the universe was different at the time, then, the exploding star maybe could have flared up the ring, say in hours. By the time we get the event here centuries later, having gone through a universe state change, it is not unreasonable to assume that those hours now are months, as we see it here. No?
If we wanted to imagine a created star scenario, we could envision the creation rings sort of imploding, or forming the star, and a time reversal effect was what we were seeing, as a result of the universe change? In that scenario, the ring light need not be the same either. And so on. Without a same state universe to lock in light uniformity, and speed, why, the PO explanations can't wash. And the honest observer can start to realize why the neutron star, or black hole never showed up as predicted!
getting a little murky here
so if light "corresponds to the will of man and God," that means it has math-defying speed?
It means this. Say you are saved, and in the future. Say you wanted a star to appear that was not seen since, say, you got married. You look up, and simply speak it into appearing. And there it is. The created state universe responds to the will of His people, and His will. Not just light, but the fundamental forces of the universe will likely be in sync with His will. It isn't that all stars in the sky whether or not they are visible that day to man, have some uniform speed. They do what we want, as fast as we want, sort of thing.
at the end of the paragraph you seem to forget that we're concerned only with average velocity, not uniform or fixed velocity. stay on track please.
The velocity is like the gas pedal of the car, it depends how fast you want it to go!
what happens to light when it's "not supposed to shine on earth?" if you're saying that it still has a velocity, which is what you appear to be doing, then it certainly has an average velocity. i think you're confusing yourself.
Ah, I don't know. I would guess that it either would shine somewhere else, maybe your wife was on the far side of the universe, and wanted to see the star you didn't!! Or maybe no one really needed to see it, so why shine at all that day??
you're missing the point. right now, your explanation for why there can't be an average velocity is "because that would make me wrong, and that's impossible." i'd like you to go a little bit more in-depth.
Trying to lock the forever universe into this temporary universe state rules can't work. You should know that.
