re-interpreting ‘redshift’
In the 1960's the astronomer Halton Arp, a
highly respected authority on ‘peculiar galaxies,’
began documenting instances where lowredshifted
galaxies and high-redshifted quasars
were interacting, or even physically connected.
This would mean that redshift signifies something
other than an object’s recessional velocity.
If he was right, his observations were pointing to
one of the biggest mistakes in the history of
modern science.
