"could there be different types of light along with different speeds?"
Most certainly. If I'm right, the glory emanating from God is angular gravitational energy that can actually tunnel through dimensionless voids.
"could we assume that further away is less affected and that perhaps light from distant objects could be relatively untainted by sin and therefore that light exhibits different characteristics?"
Interesting, it's possible.
"could that light travel faster than light we know about?"
Well, the trick to the First Flash model is "resultant acceleration" caused by matrixing together linear and curved dimensions. Beyond this, it is difficult for me to speculate on what is unknown. Considering the infinite creativity of the creator, it would be foolish of me to limit God on this. There is talk in theoretical circles of things like tachyons and Cerenkov radiation that have superluminal velocities.
By the way, Cerenkov radiation was in fact detected by a Russian physicist in 1934. It has an analog to a sonic boom when comparing light to sound. Thus one would expect a tachyon that is traveling faster than light to emit Cerekov radiation.
There are two principle ways that radiation can effectively travel between two points over a measured period of time faster than the "speed of light". Dimensionally short cutting areas of space, and by a change in temporal frequency.
Bottom line, I do not know.
"Do you think anything like that could come into play with your model?"
It's very possible. It's been my objective to utilize only proven facts as definitive proofs to the model, but I do avidly study theoretical concepts in an effort to find new leads. Using these leads, I then search for evidences supporting or disproving these new concepts. I'll search to see what I can find on this.
I did find this interesting topic:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=faster-than-light-electric-currents-2010-06-18http://arxiv.org/abs/0903.0399"Regarding stars disappearing, is there something about them in scientific journals I can read?"
Yes there is. The disappearing objects are visible galaxies furthest away from us. One should take note, this information is carefully handled by the scientific community to project alternate viewpoints from the same data. Basically, one count of distant objects was made and then a second count, later on, resulting with a smaller number. There are a million and one ways to distort and alter the perceptions and meaning to this data including blatant deception.
This article touches on some of the key points:
http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1998MNRAS.296..585F/0000585.000.htmlI'm working to sort out the best journals on this subject. There are several overlapping studies with data relating to disappearing light from distant objects. As far as finding simple magazine articles, there are even more to sort from.
this journal reveals some more data on the subject though it is difficult to glean:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2003MNRAS.342L..47BA simple internet search for disappearing galaxies brings up several alternate non journal topics.
