Abstract
It is known that very distant galaxies, much like our own, show remarkably high receding velocities, the magnitude of which increases with distance. Therefore, in this study, a gravitational analog of the photoelectric effect was investigated by replacing the classical (wave) theory of gravity with a gravity quanta hypothesis. The significance of this concept regarding the motion of distant galaxies is evaluated by comparing the results obtained for a photon traveling through a Planck lattice model of spacetime to the observational data for both the cosmological redshift and time dilation effects of light from distant Type Ia supernovae. The photogravity effect does not necessarily invalidate the standard big bang cosmology and may in fact add a layer of fidelity to its conclusions concerning the evolution and age of the universe.
