A theory which attempts to explain cosmological redshifts in terms of the geometry of the static space of events is outlined along with the postulates of equivalence and uniqueness upon which it is based. An ordered system is defined for Minkowski space and a class of observers who are stationary with respect to one another, a 'metric with an observer' is given for this system, and an analysis is performed to show how an electromagnetic wave of arbitrary wavelength will experience radial elongation as it propagates across the 'observed distance' between two stationary frames of reference. Formulas are presented which provide for a speed of light that decreases exponentially with 'local' time and for a variable that guarantees a constant speed of light in 'cosmic' time. The theory is used to resolve a discrepancy between supernova observations and the Doppler redshift theory by demonstrating analytically that the speed of light is variable.
