The nature of the cosmic redshift is one of the most fundamental questions in modern science. Hubble's discovery of the apparent Expansion of the Universe is derived from observations on a small number of galaxies at very low redshifts. Today, quasar redshifts have a range more than 1000 times greater than those in Hubble's sample, and represent more than 100 times as many objects. A recent comprehensive compilation of published measurements provides the basis for a study indicating that quasar observations are not in good agreement with the original predictions of the Expanding Universe theory, but are well fit by the predictions of an alternative theory having fewer adjustable parameters.
宇宙红移的本质是现代科学中最基本的问题之一。哈勃对宇宙明显膨胀的发现源于对少数低红移星系的观测。如今,类星体的红移范围比哈勃样本中的红移大1000倍以上,且代表的天体数量是其100倍以上。最近对已发表测量数据的全面汇编为一项研究提供了基础,该研究表明类星体观测结果与宇宙膨胀理论的最初预测不太相符,但与一个可调参数较少的替代理论的预测非常吻合。
