If you really cared about the material, there is nothing that is
stopping you from learning it.

You're right.

The only thing stopping me from reading those books is the pre-reqs.

Which I'm working on.

No money? Go to the library.

Can't get to the library? Use the resources on the internet. God knows
I can get most of my textbooks in ebook form - I just prefer paper.

Can't figure out torrents? Read the free resources on the internet.

Can't figure out anything even with the full might of Google, arXiv,
and USENET at your disposal?

Find a new hobby. I suggest gardening, riding a bike, or reading.

The full might of USENET? That's a good one.

I asked if someone could explain the Tolman surface brightness test.

Let's see its might in action.

OK, so what do you know about it already?


Not much.

Seems to me that it tests two models:

1. where the speed of light is constant and the universe is flat and
simple
2. where the speed of light is constant and the universe is expanding

The model I'm suggesting, is where the speed of light is not constant,
and its reduced velocity gives the illusion of space expanding.

Expansion is: velocity static, space and time increase

My Tired light is: velocity decreases, space is static, and by virtue
of v = d/t, time increases.

I'm not sure how the Tolman test addresses my conjecture.

Seems to me the expansion result seems closest to my "looks like
expansion" model.
