I've mentioned a sort of sciece-fi theory of mine about the constant change inside the moving structure of LIGHT. Due to the relative huge wavelength of photons members of white light coming from stars the code or spatial-arrengement of those different color photons inside the "mother or carrier wave" will vary across light years of propagation.
Just like an old tree after being cut with a saw. The concentric lines found inside the main trunk as we see the tree's stump from above will give us an idea of how old the tree has been "hanging around" nature.
I believe that LIGHT just like trees hold inside their compositional spectrum at the moment of the measurement the CODE with the exact AGE incripted at the moment of its "birth." Every beam of light leave the source with its "internal chronometer" set to "0" TIME. It is the short moment [instant better] where all the frequency photons making the actual light are occupying the same "start line." The fastest photons will go ahead fast and the slower ones [infrared for example] will stay behind the race pretty soon. OH! But as the light wave reaches some light years in the race an interesting phenomenon will happen:
Ultra violet photons shot from the source much later on will catch those infra red one that were already in their way [who knows...] light years before?
Someone must do the math but I am sure that if we were able to somehow without influencing the outcome of the measurement at least compare two or three of those photon mixture we would be able to calculate with entire exactitude the distance between the source and our position in the cosmos.

Interesting hypothesis isn't it?
