Since we were discussing cosmogenic origen versus non-cosmogenic origin, it

Huh? The argument you gave was the CMBR was emitted cosmogenically, and the
light had travelled many billions of years.

Why would it be? The Sun is not doing the heating.

Because the temperature does not vary significantly.

To what observed data are you referring? There have been many analyses that
have explained many observations.

The fact that something has not yet been done, does not mean that it cannot
be done. However, I've already given you part of the analysis.

Oops.

That is the form that is required by gravitation, as well.

Except that it isn't ad hoc, for two reasons. First, it is a requirement of
any LeSagian method that has a mass-equivalent form. Second, it was
explicitly predicted years before the SN1a data, by several different
people. Including Vigier and many of the authors in the book "Pushing
Gravity."

The MTW arguments are pure hand-waving, value-free myths.

Search on the name "Zel'dovich" in the thread "tired light" in this
newsgroup.

Not according to gravitational theory.

It's the other way around. The tired light effect results from the above
equation. Which is the result of the LeSagian graviational model.

I'm always happy to address physical models and observations. Even if I
don't have all the answers.
