Even sharp EU guys like Donald Scott fall into that trap, as when he says on page 164 of "The Electric Sky" : "Betelgeuse, the alpha star in Orion, is a red giant. It pulsates in size, the diameter changing by as much as 60% in value..."
But remember the mainstream idea of pulsations in size come from interpreting changes in redshift as changes in expansion rate. And since those changes in redshift occur with changes in brightness, they are sure they are safe (brighter means bigger right?). But look at the uncertainty mentioned here: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6 ... hells.html
or in the angular size section here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betelgeuse. Even the mainstream is beginning to suspect something is wrong with this model.
The truth is, redshift changes in red giants are not caused by changes in expansion rates, but changes in plasma density. The mechanism just as explained in the first post of this thread. Here is what happens: light from the star ionizes the gas surrounding gas. The increased electron density causes increased redshift. The fact that it takes light to do the ionizing is why the star appears dimmer. It is NOT getting smaller. The fact that ionization and recombination occur in waves only LOOKS like the star is expanding and contracting.
The plasma-redshift cross section is deduced from conventional axioms of physics without any new assumption. It has been overlooked, because it is insignificant in ordinary laboratory plasma; but it is important in sparse hot plasmas, such as those in the corona of the Sun, stars quasars, galaxies and intergalactic space. The energy that the photons lose in plasma redshift heats the plasma.
Plasma redshift cannot be derived using classical physics methods. It would, therefore, not exist in the conventional plasma cosmology.
“It is essential to use quantum mechanical concepts for deducing plasma redshift and the weightlessness of photons. Plasma redshift cannot be derived using classical physics methods.”
We must also use the correct complex dielectric constant for each component of this Fourier distribution, and not approximate it with the real part as is done in plasma physics and plasma cosmology. It is the complex part (the friction-like part) of the low frequencies in the Lorentz distributions that cause the plasma redshift.

With only one empirically verified test Plasma Redshift is still at a point that it will simply be avoided or ignored. Ari Brynjolfsson has done a fantastic job with this taking on so very many aspects of ‘mainstream’ interpretative cosmological speculations (“expansion”, “black holes”, ‘redshift=distance’ etc) in his published works on this topic. As many are aware one can find quite a lot of his work via Axriv

Hat tip to the relentless M. Mozina.
Solar said:[Ari said:] Plasma redshift cannot be derived using classical physics methods. It would, therefore, not exist in the conventional plasma cosmology.
The reason for this as he further states in the same paper is that:It is essential to use quantum mechanical concepts for deducing plasma redshift and the weightlessness of photons. Plasma redshift cannot be derived using classical physics methods.

* Ari appears to be wrong about that, since Thornhill has apparently deduced plasma redshift via classical physics, without quantum mechanics or relativity.

Mathematical theorists eschewed simplicity and commonsense by assuming that the redshift was due to the Doppler effect and employing Einstein’s metaphysics so they could retrocalculate the seeming expansion back to a primordial point, or singularity—which has no physical reality. ... But there is another simple option, unmentioned by Hubble, that instead of some “unknown principle operating in space between the nebulae” there is an intrinsic electric principle responsible for both the redshift and the faintness of a galaxy or quasar. ... [I]ntrinsic redshift takes discrete (quantized) values, which proves that the redshift is related to the matter in the quasar and not a measure of speed of recession or some effect upon light in traversing the intervening space.
... Arp and others have shown that the redshift of any object is made up of an intrinsic component and a velocity component. The velocity component is the only one recognized by mainstream astronomers. The intrinsic redshift is a property of the emitting atoms in the object. It decreases with time in discrete or quantized ‘jumps.’
- Quasars appear to be ejected, deficient in electrons, from their parent active galactic nucleus (AGN). The lightweight electrons remain tangled in the AGN plasmoid for much longer than the heavier protons and uncharged neutrons. As a result, the quasar has lower initial charge polarization compared to matter on Earth and, from the principle of E-MOND, all subatomic particles in the quasar have lower masses. Therefore, the emitting atoms also have lower masses, and their radiation has lower energy. The result is the observed intrinsic redshift of atomic emissions from quasars and their relative faintness.
