Milky Way Is Younger than Neighbors

Vs. Neighborhood Is Collapsing on Us

In “Time Matters” (free eBook, also available on Amazon and Google) we explained that there is no Universe expansion (purportedly originated by Big Bang, which never happened). Expansion was meant to explain why remote areas of the Universe appear red (and infrared) in our telescopes: redness of distant Universe was mistakenly attributed to Doppler effect — the light from receding objects come to us at lower frequency, just like the sound from a receding car:

Emitted “white” light appears “red” when received at a lower frequency (and received as blue when frequency increases at reception): like the sound heard/received behind the car above is a lower sound, and the sound is higher when listened in the front of the car — 🔊 play sound. The actual reason for “cosmological redshift” is that time in the past was slower than it is now, for example, time was twice slower 14 billion years ago: that is why galaxies 14 billion light years away from us look red/infrared. The younger the Universe, the slower time in it. 14-billion-years-younger Universe had twice slower time in it (read chapter 1 in “Time Matters”).

Now to the problem: most galaxies in the Local Group of galaxies (that includes our bigger neighbor Andromeda and a few dozen of smaller galaxies) are blue shifted. Again, there could be two explanations (or a mixture):

1) By Doppler effect: blue-shifted galaxies move in our direction.
2) By Time Dilation: time runs slower in our galaxy than it runs in some neighbor galaxies.

In light frequency terms:

1) Received light frequency increases by 1+v/c factor, where v is the velocity of an object moving toward us, and c is the speed of light. Higher-frequency light is bluer.
2) If time in the Milky Way runs at D-times slower pace than time inside a neighboring galaxy, then light from that neighbor is received at D-times higher frequency/bluer than originally emitted.

As we saw on the example of distant/younger Universe: younger associates with slower time. Thus, what is more plausible:

1) Our neighbors are moving toward us, OR
2) The Milky Way is younger than its neighbors.

The mainstream claims: Our neighbor galaxies fly toward us, when the rest of the Universe flies away from us ❗❓
