The entire electromagnetic spectrum is light whether visible or not.
But is the far away light electromagnetic? I would think the light that streams into the fishbowl here is, yes, but that is not the issue.
The part being measured is in the gamma ray spectrum which is not visible to our eyes, by is easily measured with instruments. Instruments can measured specific wave lengths or a full scan of wave lengths.
Right, and I noticed that when looking at an unknown area, they calibrate it to certain isotopes. Could it be possible that what we see is cobalt, for example, but not in decay? This is what I am trying to determine before accepting that it is decay. (Not that I care either way, it is easily explained!)
Each chemical element is identifiable by its unique absorption at specific wave lengths. The only thing is that is calibrated is the base line which zero's the instrument so the amount of each specific isotope can be quantified. There is nothing mysterious about it.
Nevertheless if the light we get here near earth must come in a certain way, that could be something to weigh in.
Dust has absolutely nothing to do with the measurement of gamma rays. They are either their or not. The fact that they are measured is indeed a fact that they are there.
Right, and we could probably say that about any sort of spectral observation...no? What they invoke the dust for, apparently, is to explain maybe why we could not see any of the spectra of the certain material to begin with for a time...no? Once we do see it, fine.
The time delay is nothing more than a sequent of events. Simply put, gamma rays are not produced at the initiation of a supernovae, rather a short period there after.
Whoah! That is according to your theory. I prefer to deal in what we actually see.
As to whether decay is seen, the production of gamma rays are a result of radioactive decay. No decay, no gamma rays.
Maybe. Maybe not. First we would need to prove that nothing could possibly produce a gamma ray in the fishbowl here, except present earth state decay?
This has nothing to do with anyone prevailing, it is what it is. Neither of us can change that.
Yes. I can, and intend to. I am working on it. You were instrumental in the discovery of the rapid great snow making in the
fount of the deep event! So hey, maybe you or someone else might help in cracking the
case of the fishbowl spectra!
