H Peter,
I'm doing just fine,
Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, let me rephrase myself, what I meant to say is that I wonder sometimes, if the Photon is effected by a Compton Ray type or similar mechanism, over such vast Intergalactic distances where these galaxies all appear to be red shifted.

Nothing to do with time altering the photon, just the interaction of the photon with dark matter or other particles such as molecular gas clouds that cannot be seen.
it would also have to take into account not only the objects dark matter but also our own galactic dark mater halo.

Even though we call it empty space, its not completely empty, but Just how much is out there that cannot be seen?

We would still see a Doppler type shift of a distant galaxy from its receding and trailing arms, but the whole spectrum might be red shifted solely due to the interaction of the photon with this unkown dark matter and the molecular micro density of interstellar space.

I just wonder if a static Universe, is being disguised as a expanding one since
