Quantum Gravity
I just feel like I'm sitting halfway between the general relativity approach and the quantum gravity approach. If you were to characterize it fully that way, quantum gravity would be a way to think about it. So we have that. Why don't we talk about the red shift and then talk about what happens with the cosmic microwave background? We did cover in different sections here. Really it's just as a photon or graviton. The graviton being visualized as virtual photons or such, they are also being redshifted as they pass through the graviton space time. It's a simple loss of momentum. Actually loss of coherence. That is the mechanism. Pair that with the idea that
