If what you say is true, the only thing it improves is you get to add some additional distance (the integral over the oscillation speed) to the total age. 10 million light years + 18,000 years doesn't help much. <br /><br />But even this doesn't matter any more as Setterfield changed his equation yet again, as noted in <a href="http://dealingwithcreationisminastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/12/setterfield-c-decay-data-and-creation.html" rel="nofollow">Setterfield & c-Decay: "Data and Creation: The ZPE-Plasma Model"</a>. It makes the number above a little different, but not by much.W.T."Tom" Bridgmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889134728080314165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361412992308994774.post-44287145554713600652010-06-21T00:58:18.790-04:002010-06-21T00:58:18.790-04:00Tom, you'd be right if T = 0 in BS physics cor...Tom, you'd be right if T = 0 in BS physics corresponded to the present as BS himself says in some places. But a closer reading of "Data and Creation" indicates that T = 0 corresponds to the end of the redshift curve--the time that the ZPE stopped building. According to the BS website at http://www.setterfield.org/000docs/other.htm#calculating this occurs at 2992 BC when the speed of light was about ten million times its present value. After that the decay of the speed of light (from ten million times its present value to its present value) the "oscillation curve predominates." According to BS cosmological redshifts for distances of up to about 10 million light years distant are zero: The redshift-distance formula applies only for larger distances. Thus BS theory predicts for "nearby" objects only a few tens of millions of light years away a linear relationship between redshift and distance similar to that found in Hubble's law, except that BS says the z = 0 intercept should occur for a distance of several million light years rather than the zero intercept observed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
