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

Hi Dennis, pleased you good. Take your point, things change when in
interaction at any level, your point about light changing its 'state' when
interacting with other media, cannot argue with. And it is a thought worth thinking upon, though at this time am ambivalent about dark matter.
Why, my dear friend? For centuries, man has sought to explain what he not understand by pretence of understanding, and an explanation devoid
of wisdom or learning.
You are familiar Dennis, with the saying, 'out of the mouths of babes' et al. Was discussing with Sammi, my 18 year old daughter about the two
dimensional representation of a the gravity well of a black hole in current
docus, she said, ask them what one would see at the back of it, it would
be the same as the front, it is spherical, where's the problem, oh my.
Best regards,
Peter
