My maths isn't good enough to do a calculation, has anybody attempted one.
Among the several thousand quasars known today (cf.Hewitt & Burbidge 1993; Veron-Cetty & Veron 1993;Hewett, Foltz, & Cha ee 1995) there are a number of caseswhere a quasar is found in close angular proximity to agalaxy (Monk et al. 1986; Arp 1987; Stocke et al. 1987;Burbidge et al. 1990; Borgeest et al. 1991; Bowen et al.1991; Womble 1993; Burbidge 1995), but where the redshiftsof the galaxy and the quasar are notably di erentfrom each other. This led Arp and others to conclude thatthis points to a Doppler interpretation of the observed redshiftsof the quasars (Arp et al. 1990 and references therein).In this hypothesis quasars are ejected from galaxies (cf.Valtonen & Basu 1991) and, hence, do not lie at thosecosmological distances which are inferred from their measuredredshifts. This point of view has been criticized byvarious authors (““ The Redshift Controversy ÏÏ ; Weedman1976). Serious arguments against the hypothesis of Arp etal. are the agreement of the cosmological interpretationwith the observational data from gravitationally lensedquasars (e.g., Dar 1991), the detection of the host galaxiesof some quasars (e.g., Bahcall 1995; Bahcall, Kirhakos, &Schneider 1995; Disney et al. 1995; Hutchings & Morris1995), the nondetection of tidal perturbations in the morphologyof quasar-galaxy associations (e.g., Sharp 1985,1986), or other reasons (e.g., Newman & Terzian 1995).Although the arguments for the cosmological interpretationof the quasar redshifts are highly convincing, here Idiscuss another observational test which could allow us tocheck whether the apparent close angular proximity ofsome quasars to galaxies is due to a spatial closeness ofthese objects to each other.
]Had a second thought, star shift is observed during a solar eclipse has any one obseved a frequency shift at the same time.
Don't think you sent that Vern?
Creationism doesn't contradict the big bang. It explains what was there before the big bang.
