Short explanations, Chapter VII

Differential inflow

RSI explains why few galaxies appear blueshifted during the Inhale: galaxies ahead of us accelerate faster toward the Still Core.

A common objection to the toroidal model concerns blueshift, the shortening of light's wavelength from objects moving toward us. If we are on the Inhale, it seems we should see the universe closing in on us. Yet blueshifted galaxies are scarce.

RSI resolves this through differential inflow. The Eternal Consonance is a fluid medium flowing toward a central sink. Like water accelerating into a drain, the flow speeds up as it nears the Still Core.

Galaxies ahead of us in the current are moving toward the center faster than we are. So the distance between us keeps growing, even though we share a destination. This produces a relative redshift that looks like expansion. The underlying motion shows up in the Bulk Flow, the unified migration of our neighborhood toward the Great Attractor. The theory compares this to a convoy whose leading vehicles outpace the trailing ones as the river of space narrows toward its source.
