I am interested in the native plants and animals of Minnesota.
I make Youtube videos of natural scenes.
I photograph natural scenes and have developed a Raspberry Pi based system for continuous timed sky and lake photographs which features the capture of northern lights.
I've made other microcontoller-based devices for the capture of EMG signals and the control of an inverter using solar power.
I like to freedive in Bonaire. I cross country ski outside my back door in Minnesota.
I am attempting to demonstrate how the reddening of starlight with distance and the cosmic microwave background radiation both arise from calving of photons with an an energy that is a function of the kinetic energy of electrons relative to the photon source due to Doppler effects and frequency of occurence proportional to incident photon energy thus creating a linear increase of apparent velocity with distance in a collinear photon scattering process that also helps to explain the excess rotational velocities of galaxies as an alternative to the big bang and dark matter theories.
CMB as energy lost by reddened starlight.
That is, reddened starlight equals starlight minus shed CMB photons.
