Abstract
FROM an investigation (to be published in Physica) of the proper vibrations of expanding spherical space, it follows that—in extremely good approximation—light is propagated with respect to co-moving co-ordinates irrespective of the expansion, except that (a) the time-rate of events is slowed down and (b) all energy portions decrease, both inversely proportional to the radius of curvature.
