| Light Propagation in a Curved-Space Friedmann Universe  | | | | Abstract
| It was shown [1] that, in a Friedmann universe considered as an expanding ensemble of fundamen tal particles and whose 3-space is Euclidean, the propagation of light and its associated wavelength(s) partake in the expansion of the universe. In consequence, a light-signal emitted from any source will reach and pass every fundamental particle in its path at the same speed, c, despite the systematic mutual recession of any pair of such particles. This result, derived from the Robertson-Walker metric, is in full accord with all local physical experience of light transmission and with the requirements o f Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. It is shown here that the same result also applies to any curved-space Friedmann universe. | | | |
