Applying the basic concepts of general relativity to the global motion of a particle in a mass-filled universe leads to a loss of momentum relative to the rest frame of the universe. This loss is caused by the different running times of the gravitational interaction quanta exchanged with masses in front and behind the moving particle, if the signal velocity is limited to the speed of light. Due to this 'gravitational viscosity' of space, the energy of photons will be reduced with the time, and thus with the distance of the emitting source. This red shift is superimposed on the Doppler shift in an expanding universe. A discussion of the limiting case of vanishing expansion leads to predictions about mass and radius of the universe. The value of the mass density in such a steady-state universe must be about three times the closing density discussed in Big-Bang theories. The existence of the 'gravitational viscosity' casts severe doubts on all estimations of the age of the universe derived from the red-shift data.
