Yeah if, of course photons travel through gravitational fields and
slow down this is well known, and as soon as they pass through they
resume their normal speed... c

Its' subtle, which meansMikeWon't Get It(tm).

First off there is the whole issue ofMikeis being hypocritical in
his arguments. You can't contradict GR in one breath then use it to
support your arguments in the next. Maybe he doesn't know. Hell, it
isn't even a maybe now that I think about it...

Then there is the issue of the effect itself. Light doesn't "slow
down", per se, but the coordinate speed of an object traveling along a
null path changes as compared to its' speed in flat space.

Some ofMike'sof many problems is that the effect will /not/ skew
distances the way he wants to believe, or that the luminosity of
objects will fall off in the right way, or that any of it makes any
fucking sense to someone marginally educated.

I like how he utterly ignores all mention of the Tolman surface
brightness test now.

First hes like "what is it, explain it to me". I tried, and I gave
links that explained it to me. He still didn't get it. Now he just
ignores it.

Ditto with the Malmquist bias which he doesn't talk about anymore.

Funny how the level of argument consistently falls back down to
physics 101.

Well at least he admits light is constant sub 500 million light years
thats the closest he's come to being right. I just wonder what he gets
from acting like a total moron all the time.
