A
supernova called SN Ares shows that the speed of light is not as consistent as
evolutionists have claimed. According to
science publication, Live Science, the light coming from the supernovas is
not traveling at a constant speed.
The
publication reports that “the Vast Exploration for Nascent, Unexplored Sources (VENUS)
treasury program survey employs the James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) to observe 60 dense galaxy clusters, which act as cosmic
lenses that split and focus the light from extremely distant, otherwise
invisible sources such as supernovas” [1] which the publication calls “gravitational
lensing.” [2]
Gravitational
lensing is when light is bent by other cosmic objects, especially large objects
such as galaxy clusters, which then causes the object from the light originates
to be magnified, or larger and even closer, than its actual size or distance.
Live
Science
went on to report that “SN Ares is the first lensed supernova discovered via
the VENUS program. The explosion occurred almost 10 billion years ago, when the
universe was around one-third its current age. The warp in space-time caused by
a foreground galaxy cluster, MJ0308, split the light from SN Ares into three
images.
One
image has already reached our telescopes. But the light from the other two
images passes much closer to the massive center of MJ0308, so it experiences a
much greater slowdown due to gravitational time dilation.” [3]
Evolutionists
have long touted speed of light measurements to be evidence of an old universe
as they claim that the speed at which the light traveled from that object to
reach our respective location reflects what the state of that object might have
been when its light first reach the earth.
In other words, according to evolutionists, whatever a star appears to
be from our location is what it was when its light first emitted from that point
of origin.
For
example, according to evolutionists, when we see a star that is a million or a
billion light years from our location, we are not seeing the star as it presently
is, but what it looked like in the past, but this is based upon the assumption
that the speed of light is constant and that its speed is not being slowed or
accelerated.
But
it appears that the light that has traveled from the supernova is not as
consistent as evolutionists would assume it to be. The cluster galaxy that the light from the
supernova is divided into three different images and the images are traveling
at different speeds which means no one can really know what speed the light from
the supernova is traveling and if there is one stellar object influencing the
speed of the light from the supernova, then there are other objects influencing
its speed as well and the light emitting from SN Ares is not the only light whose
speed is being manipulated by other external forces.
A
little over four years ago, I had written a blogpost about an astronomical
observation that threw the lightspeed dating method upon which evolutionists
have relied into doubt [4] for any of you
out there who are interested in reading it and how beforehand, it was a tough
challenge for creationists to answer scientifically but now, evolutionists are
challenged to explain how speed of light measurements can ever be trustworthy
in determining a rough age for the universe when the speed of light is shown to
be inconsistent due to its speed being manipulated by external forces and thus
making the actual speed at which light travels unknowable and if we cannot know
for certain at what speed light travels apart from any manipulating forces,
then we certainly cannot reasonably trust in the accuracy of its current measured
speed and if we cannot trust in the accuracy of its measured speed, then we
cannot rely on those measurements to present an accurate age of the universe.
But
I must also admonish my fellow young earth creationists who are attempting to
explain the speed of light challenge from a scientific perspective is that it
really cannot entirely be explained from a scientific perspective as the
existence of the stars, as is the case with the existence of all things was not
an act of the natural, but an act of the supernatural and that the present laws
of nature and physics were not set in place until after all things had been created.
Evolutionists
believe that the planets and the stars came into existence independently of any
centralized source but I am afraid that even creationists have made the mistake
of assuming that God had created the celestial objects independent of any
source and have not considered that the celestial objects may have been created
by way of a dispersal or decentralizing of the light that God had spoken into
existence on the first day of creation to divide the day from the night (Gen 1:3-5)
before the creation of sun, moon, stars, planets, and other celestial objects (v.
14-18) and if this is what happened, then the light would not have had to
travel from the sun, moon, and stars to the earth as their light would have
already reached the planet since their light would have been created from that
light which had beforehand divided the days previous from the night.
