Serious problem with velocity in Doppler equation for CMB photons redshift
in Pondering
Imagine a photon stretched in space along the direction of its motion from end to end of photon's world in range equal to the age of universe * c. In this way, each photon of background radiation is stretched, and such a photon passes through every point of space from each side. And what will happen
