Physicist Rajendra Gupta's study suggests current calculations that show the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years old are wrong, and his new theory shows the universe has actually been around for 26.7 billion years.

Tired light theory requires:

  1. Distant galaxies to be blurry (they aren’t)
  2. Events in faraway galaxies to happen at the same pace as nearby events (they don’t. Time is dialated just like frequency is redshifted)
  3. Cosmic background radiation would not be a black body
  4. Constants c, G, and hbar would change through the history of the universe.

This was the perfect article to help me finally understand how it all worked. I'm now convinced that tired light isn't a real phenomenon - thanks for sharing!
