Introduction 1.1 Red shift and blue shift according to modern science Redshift and blueshift [1] describe how light changes as objects in space (such as stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. The concept is key to charting the universe's expansion.Visible light is a spectrum of colors, which is clear to anyone who has looked at a rainbow. When an object moves away from us, the light is shifted to the red end of the spectrum, as its wavelengths get longer. If an object moves closer, the light moves to the blue end of the spectrum, as its wavelengths get shorter.To think of this more clearly, the European Space Agency suggests, imagine yourself listening to a police siren as the car rushes by you on the road."Everyone has heard the increased pitch of an approaching police siren and the sharp decrease in pitch as the siren passes by and recedes. The effect arises because the sound waves arrive at the listener's ear closer together as the source approaches, and further apart as it recedes," ESA wrote. Sound and light-This sound effect was first described by Christian Andreas Doppler and is called the Doppler effect. Since light also emanates in wavelengths, this means that the wavelengths can stretch or crunch together depending on the relative position of objects. That said, we don't notice it on daily-life-sized scale because light travels so much faster than the speed of sound — a million times faster, ESA noted. American astronomer Edwin Hubble (who the Hubble Space Telescope is named after) was the first to describe the redshift phenomenon and tie it to an expanding universe. His observations, revealed in 1929, showed that nearly all galaxies he observed are moving away, NASA said."This phenomenon was observed as a redshift of a galaxy's spectrum," NASA wrote. "This redshift appeared to be larger for faint, presumably further, galaxies. Hence, the farther a galaxy, the faster it is receding from Earth."The galaxies are moving away from Earth because the fabric of space itself is expanding. While galaxies themselves are on the move — the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way, for example, are on a collision course — there is an overall phenomenon of redshift happening as the universe gets bigger.The terms redshift and blueshift apply to any part of the electromagnetic spectrum, including radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. So, if radio waves are shifted into the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, they are said to be redshifted — shifted toward the lower frequencies.The redshift of an object is measured by examining the absorption or emission lines in its spectrum. These lines are unique for each element and always have the same spacing. When an object in space moves toward or away from us, the lines can be found at different wavelengths than where they would be if the object were not moving (relative to us). [Related: Make Your Own Spectroscope] Redshift is defined as the change in the wavelength of the light divided by the wavelength that the light would have if the source was not moving — called the rest wavelength: Redshift = (Observed wavelength – Rest wavelength)/(Rest wavelength) Three types of redshift DOI: 10.9790/7388-056277101 www.iosrjournals.org 77 | Page Red shift and Blue shift – By Virtue of B-Bit (YIN - Mass reality ) Property of photons… Doppler redshift and blueshift At least three types of redshift occur in the universe — from the universe's expansion, from the movement of galaxies relative to each other and from "gravitational redshift," which happens when light is shifted due to the massive amount of matter inside of a galaxy.This latter redshift is the subtlest of the three, but in 2011 scientists were able to identify it on a universe-size scale. Astronomers did a statistical analysis of a large catalog known as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and found that gravitational redshift does happen — exactly in line with Einstein's theory of general relativity. This work was published in a Nature paper."We have independent measurements of the cluster masses, so we can calculate what the expectation for gravitational redshift based on general relativity is," said University of Copenhagen astrophysicist Radek Wojtak at the time. "It agrees exactly with the measurements of this effect." The first detection of gravitational redshift came in 1959, after scientists detected it occurring in gamma-ray light emanating from an Earth-based lab. Previous to 2011, it also was found in the sun and in nearby white dwarfs, or the dead stars that remain after sun-sized stars cease nuclear fusion late in their lives. Matter waves ( proton, electron , photon, etc ) falling into a gravity well become more energetic and undergo observer-independent blueshifting .Photons climbing out of a gravitating object become less energetic. This loss of energy is known as a "redshifting", as photons in the visible spectrum would appear more red. Similarly, photons falling into a gravitational field become more energetic and exhibit a blueshifting. ... Note that the magnitude of the redshifting (blueshifting) effect is not a function of the emitted angle or the received angle of the photon—it depends only on how far radially the photon had to climb out of (fall into) the potential well.

Mind reality has been recognized as different faces by ―I‖ about 5000 years back to Arjuna in Mahabharata as shown in Fig 1. It is just like to understand any language through Alphabets. These are ( different faces ) Alphabets of mind reality. One Mind reality has one face identity and the second mind reality has second face identity and so on. The facial expression represents phenomenon of intelligence and different faces represent different types of properties carrying property. The open eyes means property is activated while close eye means property is inactivated.

  • 3 the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Metric
    3 The Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric 3.1 Three dimensions The most general isotropic and homogeneous metric in three dimensions is similar to the two dimensional result of eq. (43): dr2 ds2 = a2 + r2dΩ2 ; dΩ2 = dθ2 + sin2 θdφ2 ; k = 0; 1 : (46) 1 kr2 − The angles φ and θ are the usual azimuthal and polar angles of spherical coordinates, with θ [0; π], φ [0; 2π). As before, the parameter k can take on three different values: for k = 0, 2 2 the above line element describes ordinary flat space in spherical coordinates; k = 1 yields the metric for S , with constant positive curvature, while k = 1 is AdS and has constant 3 − 3 negative curvature. As in the two dimensional case, the change of variables r = sin χ (k = 1) or r = sinh χ (k = 1) makes the global nature of these manifolds more apparent. For example, − for the k = 1 case, after defining r = sin χ, the line element becomes ds2 = a2 dχ2 + sin2 χdθ2 + sin2 χ sin2 θdφ2 : (47) This is equivalent to writing ds2 = dX2 + dY 2 + dZ2 + dW 2 ; (48) where X = a sin χ sin θ cos φ ; Y = a sin χ sin θ sin φ ; Z = a sin χ cos θ ; W = a cos χ ; (49) which satisfy X2 + Y 2 + Z2 + W 2 = a2. So we see that the k = 1 metric corresponds to a 3-sphere of radius a embedded in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. One also sees a problem with the r = sin χ coordinate: it does not cover the whole sphere.

  • An Analysis of Gravitational Redshift from Rotating Body
    An analysis of gravitational redshift from rotating body Anuj Kumar Dubey∗ and A K Sen† Department of Physics, Assam University, Silchar-788011, Assam, India. (Dated: July 29, 2021) Gravitational redshift is generally calculated without considering the rotation of a body. Neglect- ing the rotation, the geometry of space time can be described by using the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild geometry. Rotation has great effect on general relativity, which gives new challenges on gravitational redshift. When rotation is taken into consideration spherical symmetry is lost and off diagonal terms appear in the metric. The geometry of space time can be then described by using the solutions of Kerr family. In the present paper we discuss the gravitational redshift for rotating body by using Kerr metric. The numerical calculations has been done under Newtonian approximation of angular momentum. It has been found that the value of gravitational redshift is influenced by the direction of spin of central body and also on the position (latitude) on the central body at which the photon is emitted. The variation of gravitational redshift from equatorial to non - equatorial region has been calculated and its implications are discussed in detail. I. INTRODUCTION from principle of equivalence.

  • Surface Curvature-Quantized Energy and Forcefield in Geometrochemical Physics
    Title: Surface curvature-quantized energy and forcefield in geometrochemical physics Author: Z. R. Tian, Univ. of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701, USA, (Email) [email protected]. Text: Most recently, simple-shape particles’ surface area-to-volume ratio has been quantized into a geometro-wavenumber (Geo), or geometro-energy (EGeo) hcGeo, to quantitatively predict and compare nanoparticles (NPs), ions, and atoms geometry- quantized properties1,2. These properties range widely, from atoms’ electronegativity (EN) and ionization potentials to NPs’ bonding energy, atomistic nature, chemical potential of formation, redox potential, surface adsorbates’ stability, and surface defects’ reactivity. For countless irregular- or complex-shaped molecules, clusters, and NPs whose Geo values are uneasy to calculate, however, the EGeo application seems limited. This work has introduced smaller surfaces’ higher curvature-quantized energy and forcefield for linking quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, and Newton’s mechanics with Einstein’s general relativity. This helps quantize the gravity, gravity-counterbalancing levity, and Einstein’s spacetime, geometrize Heisenberg’s Uncertainty, and support many known theories consistently for unifying naturally the energies and forcefields in physics, chemistry, and biology. Firstly, let’s quantize shaper corners’ 1.24 (keVnm). Indeed, smaller atoms’ higher and edges’ greater surface curvature (1/r) into EN and smaller 0-dimensional (0D) NPs’ a spacetime wavenumber (ST), i.e. Spacetime lower melting point (Tm) and higher (i.e. Energy (EST) = hc(ST) = hc(1/r) (see the Fig. more blue-shifted) optical bandgap (EBG) (see 3 below), where the r = particle radius, h = the Supplementary Table S1)3-9 are linearly Planck constant, c = speed of light, and hc governed by their greater (1/r) i.e.

  • A Hypothesis About the Predominantly Gravitational Nature of Redshift in the Electromagnetic Spectra of Space Objects Stepan G
    A Hypothesis about the Predominantly Gravitational Nature of Redshift in the Electromagnetic Spectra of Space Objects Stepan G. Tiguntsev Irkutsk National Research Technical University 83 Lermontov St., Irkutsk, 664074, Russia [email protected] Abstract. The study theoretically substantiates the relationship between the redshift in the electromagnetic spectrum of space objects and their gravity and demonstrates it with computational experiments. Redshift, in this case, is a consequence of a decrease in the speed of the photons emitted from the surface of objects, which is caused by the gravity of these objects. The decline in the speed of photons due to the gravity of space gravitating object (GO) is defined as ΔC = C-C ', where: C' is the photon speed changed by the time the receiver records it. Then, at a change in the photon speed between a stationary source and a receiver, the redshift factor is determined as Z = (C-C ')/C'. Computational experiments determined the gravitational redshift of the Earth, the Sun, a neutron star, and a quasar. Graph of the relationship between the redshift and the ratio of sizes to the mass of any space GOs was obtained. The findings indicate that the distance to space objects does not depend on the redshift of these objects. Keywords: redshift, computational experiment, space gravitating object, photon, radiation source, and receiver. 1. Introduction In the electromagnetic spectrum of space objects, redshift is assigned a significant role in creating a physical picture of the Universe. Redshift is observed in almost all space objects (stars, galaxies, quasars, and others). As a consequence of the Doppler effect, redshift indicates the movement of almost all space objects from an observer on the Earth [1].

At increasing excitation density, the exciton resonance energy exhibits a pronounced redshift followed by an anomalous blueshift. Using both material-realistic computation and phenomenological modeling, we attribute this observation to plasma effects and an attraction-repulsion crossover of the exciton-exciton interaction that mimics the Lennard- Jones potential between atoms. Our experiment demonstrates a strong analogy between excitons and atoms with respect to inter-particle interaction, which holds promise to pursue the predicted liquid and crystalline phases of excitons in two-dimensional materials.

  • Cosmic Microwave Background
    1 29. Cosmic Microwave Background 29. Cosmic Microwave Background Revised August 2019 by D. Scott (U. of British Columbia) and G.F. Smoot (HKUST; Paris U.; UC Berkeley; LBNL). 29.1 Introduction The energy content in electromagnetic radiation from beyond our Galaxy is dominated by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), discovered in 1965 [1]. The spectrum of the CMB is well described by a blackbody function with T = 2.7255 K. This spectral form is a main supporting pillar of the hot Big Bang model for the Universe. The lack of any observed deviations from a 7 blackbody spectrum constrains physical processes over cosmic history at redshifts z ∼< 10 (see earlier versions of this review). Currently the key CMB observable is the angular variation in temperature (or intensity) corre- lations, and to a growing extent polarization [2–4]. Since the first detection of these anisotropies by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite [5], there has been intense activity to map the sky at increasing levels of sensitivity and angular resolution by ground-based and balloon-borne measurements. These were joined in 2003 by the first results from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP)[6], which were improved upon by analyses of data added every 2 years, culminating in the 9-year results [7]. In 2013 we had the first results [8] from the third generation CMB satellite, ESA’s Planck mission [9,10], which were enhanced by results from the 2015 Planck data release [11, 12], and then the final 2018 Planck data release [13, 14]. Additionally, CMB an- isotropies have been extended to smaller angular scales by ground-based experiments, particularly the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) [15] and the South Pole Telescope (SPT) [16].
