Hi Neutralino and all,

Thank you for pointing out that a photo has non relativistic mass while at the same time it has no rest mass. A photon must have some kind of mass, non relativistic mass, since it is affected by gravity and it does affect electrons on the atomic level. Also, I am grateful for pointing out that the Schwarzschield radius applies only for non rotating black holes. I was mainly speculating about the possibility of the whole universe being a huge black hole including all masses and energies. If this is so than the universe would be basically a non-rotating black hole since there is no energies coming from without that could give it a rotation.

If I may just revert to a previous question from Zelta, concerning inserting my own interpretation or speculation to scientific theories. I think, this is a proper procedure in acquiring a new or deeper understanding of physical reality. I am not trying to deny facts that have been proven correct, but it is possible to give a new theory, or a new interpretation to facts that have been proven correct. I was thinking of the Big Bang theory which strongly relies on two facts, the microwave backgound radiation coming fom every part of the universe and on the redshift of the light coming from distant galaxies.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is believed to have emanated from the primordial fireball of the big bang which is thought to have originated the universe. At its priomordial state the universe was extremely hot and as the universe expanded, this microwave radiation decreased to the temperature it is today which is of a frequency range about 3x10^11 to 3x10^8 hertz.

The redshift coming from distant galaxies is interpreted to be due to a Doppler effect which indicates the speed that two objects separate. The greater the red shift, the greater the speed that the objects separate. The astronomer Edward Hubble discovered that the greater the distance of the galaxies the greater the redshift and thus an increase in the rate at which the velocity of recession increases. He was able to work out the Hubble Constant according to which the age of the universe could be determined.

If the universe however, was not started with a big bang, but is a non rotating black hole, as I speculate, than the fact of the microwave background radiation could be interpreted to be the cosmic temperature of the universe; because every black hole has a temperature due to its size and its quantity of mass and radiant energy. Similarily, if the universe is a black hole, it must have a universal gravitational force and thus the redshift coming from distant galaxies might not be due to a Doppler effect, but may be due to a gravitational effect. Einstein had speculated that light is affected gravitationally when it passes through a gravitational field, and this effect is observed in its redshift. The greater the gravitational force, or the longer the light passes through the grvitational force, the greater is its redhift. This is my speculation and I cannot assert that it is true, but if it is true, than the longer the light travels through the universe the greater its gravitational redshift. This could mean that the universe may not be expanding, but the reshift of the light coming from distant galaxies is an indication how long the light has been traveling through space.

I would like to point out that this is only my speculation or interpretation of the facts of the redshift and the microwave background radiation in regards to the uninverse. I can not claim to prove it because I am not a scientist.

Yours Cosvis.
