That might be true, but looking into the current scenario there has been evidences that the universe is expanding:
1) Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation suggests that the Universe is expanding since the intensity of the radiation keeps decreasing with time.
2) The Dark energy is drifting galaxies apart thus, acting as a negative gravity force.
These are just two of the many evidences that the Universe is expanding and accelerating.
But still you are right. We still are in a state of speculation. Nothing more or less can be predicted since we have taken the newtons laws of physics as our standard. But definitely if we have other standards which have strong evidences we might one day say that the Universe is not what it seems....
Also, there might be other interpretation but since human brain is only familiar to a standard system in this case Electromagnetic Spectrum, we just name it redshirt a terminology based on what we see. And humans are definitely limited to understand things which are perceived by our senses majority of them being what we see or visibility.
I hope it helps I was just providing a general perspective to your hypothesis...
Though you are correct it can and it may be possible someday who knows, the Universe does not cooperates... 🙂
Yes but expansion of universe is not uniform through out the space, it depend on which point of space you are looking at...
In the beginning when telescope was invented, people think that all stars are going away from sun. Even today if you observe the star clusters, they seem to be going away from sun but they are revolving around galactic center. This is because the star closer to galactic center move faster as that of star behind it. So, if we observe a star for short period then the distance between star seems to be increasing (you can take the eg. Of venus, earth and mars. If planet are in a line and start moving, it seems like venus and mars going away from earth.)
