>The "redshift" involves a reduction in energy. But it also means less vibrations per second. Now, if I wave my hand once a second, you would expect to see this as one wave per second, not more or less. As far as I know, this can only be explained by the separation (i.e. the Doppler effect), or by a distortion of time, as when light gets out of a gravitational well (e.g., this kind of effect can be seen when light leaves Earth, the Sun, or - to a greater degree - when it leaves a neutron star). Or do you have a third explanation for this discrepancy in timing?


Sure.

The mathematical theory of a photon should be a class, like this:

define class absolutePhoton as Custom

	x = 0
	c = 10
	totalEnergy	= 10^5

	function move

		this.x = this.x + this.c
	
		* As the photon moves it loses energy
		this.totalEnergy =  this.totalEnergy - this.c
	
		if mod(this.totalEnergy, 10^4) = 0  and this.c > 0
			this.c = this.c - 1
		endif 
			
	return 
	
enddefine

If you call the Move() function in a loop, it moves and delivers its energy like a wave would.

But it only has so much energy it can give, and once it hits certain thresholds, begins to deliver less energy, not to mention move slower.

Light moving slowly when we're not expecting it gives the optical illusion of there being extra space for it to travel through.

There isn't extra space, there is no expansion, light simply does not travel across all infinity. It has limits.
