Has anybody thought about what CDK does to observed geometric distances like SN1987A?

SN1987A was distanced at c187kly by knowing that the light from it illuminated a ring of gas surrounding it about 1 year later. It seems to me that the exponential CDK model would move SN1987A MUCH further away, off the top of my head hundreds or even thousands of times further away. This is because given that SN1987A is a lot more than 6000ly away light must have been moving much faster then, so the triangle baseline gets a LOT bigger....

Now that makes me ponder two problems.

1. If SN1987A is hundreds of times further away than mainstream theory places it then why is it (and the Mag Clouds in general) the correct brightness for its mainstream distance? (does the additional photon output that VR and MJN are discussing cancel this?)

2. Just how big does the universe seem to be in the Settlefield model? If a comparatively close object like SN1987A is hundreds or thousands of times further away than believed by mainstream physics then what about stuff like the quasars that mainstream physics already places billions of lightyears away? Is there really time for the Settlefield universe to grow that big in 6000 years, even with the high initial c value? At a guess, off the top of my head these distant objects to remain in proportion would have to move thousands of trillions of lightyears away at least.

Apologies if these points are nonsense or are addressed by Settlefield. I am not a real physicist.

I think the perceived frame rate change answers this. The light actually jumped across the 1 light year distance very quickly, but we see it in a slow motion which exactly compensates because the light is arriving more slowly now.

Too neat, huh?
