In the previous podcast when I briefly talked about physics, I talked about particles in space draining energy from light. In the moment, I knew I was forgetting to say something more but could not recall what that was. Very simply, when energy is drained from light, the frequency of the light is reduced. So the idea is that it is not because the universe is expanding that the frequency of the light goes down, but rather that the frequency reduction is the result of the drain of energy (for those interested, the formula is that energy equals frequency times planck's constant or simply that energy and frequency are directly proportional).
