What is "redshifts"

Usage examples of "redshifts".

Because, I think, his generosity extended not just to the earth but to the universeor simply that he loved all matter, its spin and charm, redshifts and blueshifts, its underthings.

If most quasars, as indicated by their extreme redshifts, were more than nine or ten billion light-years away in distance, then they also must be nine or ten billion years away in time, and therefore must belong to a past era of the universe.

Slipher (who, as is often the case in instances like this, was looking for something else) inferred from redshifts of the spectra of about a dozen galaxies in the vicinity of our own that the galaxies were moving away at speeds ranging up to a million miles per hour.

If the redshifts have been misunderstood, then inferred distances can be wrong by a factor of from 10 to 100, and luminosities and masses wrong by factors up to 10,000.

I talked to an astrophysicist in NASA who believed that Halton Arp—excommunicated from American astronomy for presenting evidence contradicting the accepted interpretation of the cosmic redshifts that the Big Bang theory rests on—was "onto something.

The whole modern-day picture of extragalactic astronomy has been built around the key assumption that the redshifts are Doppler effects and indicate recessional velocity.

Corresponding to the age hierarchy at every step is the hierarchy of redshifts reducing as the associated objects become older.

Although the observational evidence has been there for twenty years, conventional astronomy has never really accepted that the redshifts are quantized, and has tried strenuously to find arguments to show that there is no quantization.

The reason why young objects like quasars have high redshifts is that high redshifts mean exactly that: recently created matter.

Number fifty-seven-when she was coherent she liked to be called Henrietta-was babbling on about high redshifts and Arnold’s infidelities with Doris.

So any warp ship needs a deflector that not only slows and diverts any impinging matter, but also redshifts any incoming light.
