Why the redshifts of galaxies rotating in opposte directions relative to Milky Way should have different redshifts?Do galaxies with opposite direction of rotation relative to the Milky Way have different Hubble constants? In his Youtube video, Anton Petrov (see this) talks about the notion of tired light proposed by Lior Shamir (see this) as an explanation for some strange findings about galactic redshifts. The observation that the redshifts of distant galaxies are different depending on whether they rotate in the same or opposite direction to the Milky Way is very interesting and unexpected. Asymmetry also increases with distance. Rotation affects the redshift, but the effect should be very small. Tired light as a mechanism producing cosmological redshift is suggested as a possible explanation of the findings. As described by Anton Petrov, this mechanism leads to many long-known contradictions with cosmological observations, and in my opinion it can be safely forgotten. However, the effect may be real, even though it has been reported by only one researcher hitherto. Redshift is real and in general relativity it would most naturally be interpreted as a direct evidence that energy is not conserved. In TGD, where spacetimes are surfaces, the explanation for the cosmological redshift is much simpler and consistent with conservation of energy. The 4-D tangent spaces of the 4-D surfaces related to the 3-surfaces corresponding to the detector and the source differ from each other by the Lorentz transformation and this produces an analogy of the Doppler effect. The energy of the photons is preserved, but one could say that they are perceived as if from systems in different states of motion. The projections of the three-surface tangent spaces M4 to the sender and the receiver differ by the Lorentz transformation and this results in a redshift. A possible TGD based explanation for the observed effect relies on many-sheeted spacetime. The galaxies rotating in opposite directions could correspond to space-time sheets for which Hubble constants are slightly different at the moment of the emission of the radiation. In the GRT framework this would mean that the density of matter is slightly different for these space-time regions. I have proposed that the fluctuations of heff at quantum criticality induce fluctuations of density and temperature. If the regions of many-sheeted space-time tend to contain galaxies with the same direction of rotation, one can imagine that the heff depends on the direction of rotation. The CMB temperature behaves as T(a)=T0(a0/a) and a naive dimensional guess for the dependence of heff is T0(heff)= (heff/h)T0. This would scale the energy density of radiation by a factor (heff/h)4 and the following little calculations show that the value of H increases. Using Einstein's equations, Hubble constant can be expressed as H2== [(da/dt)/a]2=(8πG/3)ρ -k/a2+Λ/3 , The expression for Hubble constant reads as
H(a)=H0X1/2 , Here parameter w depends on the model of dark energy and w=1 is a possible value. From this formula one sees that if the temperature of CMB background is proportional to heff, regions of larger heff have a large Hubble constant. The critical density and density parameter are defined ρc=3H2/8πG, Ω =ρ/ρ c . The parameters Ωk (k∈{0,-1,1}, Ωm, Ωr, and ΩDE refer to various contributions to the density corresponding to the curvature of 3-space (k=0 corresponds to flat space), matter, radiation and dark energy. If dark energy corresponds to the cosmological constant, one obtains
ρc= 3H02/8πG , The question is whether the measured two different values of H could reflect slightly different temperatures for the Hubble constant in some space-time regions induced by different values of heff and whether these regions could correspond to regions containing preferentially galaxies, which rotate in the same or opposite direction as the Milky Way. Some kind of parity violation in cosmic scales is suggestive. This mechanism could also provide insights to two other cosmological problems.
