How would you know what the velocity of the galaxy was initially if the velocity has been slowed by time dilation?And if you cannot know the initial velocity then how can you calculate a percentage of the speed of light in order to ascertain the time dilation effect?Therefore, how can you calculated a time dilation effect that is caused by a velocity, if the time dilation effect slows the velocity. That is a catch 22.
Yes, it's a tricky one to answer...
So, yes by comparison you would expect that galaxies 'moving' away at significant proportion of light speeed willl appear slowed.
The paper - which I read - gives detailed analysis of the light curve of supernova. There is nothing for me to disagree with in that paper.
