If not, why is my idea below not possible?  The general theory of relativity tells us that time is slowed down by gravitational fields. We bounced radar signals off planets further from the sun, and ones nearer to it, and found that the light bounced off nearer ones was red-shifted, due to passing through stronger gravitational fields.  The universe has a great deal of mass in it. Although far from concentrated sources of mass, space-time is 'flatter', it should still be true that everywhere within the universe is within its deep gravitational 'well'. As a consequence, all light travelling through space should be slowed in time and red-shifted proportional to how far it travels - no?
Have there been any recent attempts to falsify the  hypothesis alternative to the Doppler shift explanation for the red shift, or is it simply ignored like the pilot wave quantum mechanical hypothesis alternative to the Copenhagen hypothesis of quantum mechanics has been? What new evidence would it take to get the tired light hypothesis for the red shift reexamined as the recent fluid dynamics oil drop experiments have done for the pilot wave hypothesis of quantum mechanics?
Notify us when the question has been edited after posting an answer Is it possible to make the -init method private in Objective-C? I need to hide (make private) the -init method of my class in Objective-C.  How can I do that? "Never say die?" What's the deal with this idiom? I know what it means, but cannot wrap my head around its grammar structure. The sentence structure of     "Never say die"   looks like that of     "Never admit defeat"   but it does not make the same grammatical+semantical sense.  Is it an archaic use? Is it a contraction of a longer phrase? Was it originally misspoken by someone of note and survived memetically? What are its roots?  Edit: Well, the comments made me realize that I worded my question poorly. I'm not saying I think this phrase is ungrammatical. I'm asking how the heck "saying 'die'" came to mean what it means. Truncate a string to first n characters of a string and add three dots if any characters are removed Some document elements (e.g., figures in the book class) are numbered per chapter (figure 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, ...). How can I achieve continuous numbering (figure 1, 2, 3, ...)?  And vice versa: Some document elements (e.g., figures in the article class) are numbered continuously. How can I achieve per-section numbering?  \documentclass{book}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `book` with `article`  \begin{document}  \chapter{foo}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `\chapter` with `\section`  \begin{figure} \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Bonus question: Is it possible to adjust the numbering of the sectioning headings themselves? Can I, e.g., switch from per-chapter to continuous numbering of sections in the book class? java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter when starting Simple Struts2 Application Let's assume that one has some HP printer and/or scanner and checked its support status on the corresponding page of HPLIP site - .

Get list of all tables in Oracle? What do I need to get photos with a unifom black background (not with post)? Often i see portraits such as the one below and like the way they look. I wanted to know can I get this look in my shots.  I am sure there are professional materials you can get to outfit a studio that will deliver such results. I have no clue what these items would be, can i get clued in?  Also, I was wondering if there is a DIY way to achieve this as well. Maybe with a black bed sheet or something?  I want to set something up in a room in my house for studio type shots. I am looking to get an idea of what items I need to get this done and how the setup should go. I have a very large folder that I am trying to create a tar archive of. The issue is I don't have enough extra free space to store the entire archive so I want to create say 100-200GB chunks of the archive at a time and transfer those individually to cloud storage. I need to be able to control when new chunks are created so my HDD doesn't fill up but all of the commands i've found to create split tarballs always create it all at once, in the same directory. The closest solution I found was from  but all the responses base the archives on number of files, not size which is important for my use case as my file sizes are unevenly distributed. Is it possible for a system to have negative potential energy? There is a formal definition for the Big O notation in . Up to now I have come across Big O in Numerical Analysis, Calculus and Algorithms which all are pretty distinct fields. What I am wondering is if that definition is global and is the only one that is used in every field where the Big O is involved or there are other ways that the Big O is defined in other areas  of Mathematics.

Cross-thread operation not valid: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on I recently switched from Windows to Mac. Steam says I have fewer Mac specific games than total games and it should be an equal amount unless you can only download, install, and play once from your account. I thought I bought it so that it would work across all operating systems. If this is true, is there a work around or a discount for re-purchasing for the other OSes? Characterization convex function. Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that for all $a,b\in [0,1]$ with $a&lt;b$ $$f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx.$$ How to prove that $f$ is a convex function? Thank you for your help. need initfamfs modules. 15.04 is anything else supposed to be here? I am using Ubuntu gnome and my keyboard is unresponsive for encryption password.

It recognized one time but I had to restart for something and it never came up again. I eventually removed all other boot up options to make it easier and faster to try again (no F12 needed).  Finally I gave up and tried another drive (16GB this time FWIW) and then it worked.  HOWEVER, it's stuck on a reboot loop now. I can choose to install, then to select the right disk, then it says it's loading file and then next thing I know it's saying do you want to install or upgrade. Is there any difference between the usage of 'later' and 'later on'?         I'll see you later.   I'll finish it later on. Firstly, I apologise if my thinking is completely incorrect - I am by no means a physicist (yet!), I have included layman illustrations to hopefully assist in explaining my thinking.  I am imagining the big bang to be, for lack of a better word, an explosion, thus the universe to be progressively expanding:    Therefore, to me it seems logical to suggest that there is an edge.  If this is the case, then is it reasonable to suggest that explosion + edge = 'bright edge'? Where light projects in all directions at the edge, not just outwards into the 'nothingness'.     So, this brings me to my question: why, when someone looks deeply enough 'at the edge' do they see an absence of light?   Again, apologies if I'm jumping to irrational conclusions &amp; am way off.
