Algthough there are other methods, many of them were first discovered as variations of the red or blue shift of spectral lines of the star they orbit with as the star moves in the opposite direction. This clearly refutes the author's opinion that there is no such shift."<br /><br />Hmm. Good point. However the DOPPLER red-shift is not really a red shift. It just means the photons are closer together because the light source is coming toward you, which means every time the emitter emits a photon it has moved a bit closer.<br /><br />True "red-shifting" and "blue-shifting" happens when the OBSERVER is moving toward the light source. IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING MORE OR FEWER PHOTONS PER UNIT OF TIME, the oscillation frequency of EACH PHOTON seems to change, shifting to blue if the OBSERVER is moving toward the source and shifting to red if the OBSERVER is moving away from the source. <br /><br />There is no actual color change with the DOPPLER "red shift." It is a change in BRIGHTNESS. "Red shift" is dimmer than when the observer is stationary, and "blue shift" is brighter than when the the observer is stationary.<br /><br />This is a whole different argument. I've encountered it several times before. It appears that many people do not understand the difference between "Doppler red-shifting" and TRUE "red-shifting."Ed Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517078636884309733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894710819080074713.post-28119519589151920822022-04-24T07:44:03.778-07:002022-04-24T07:44:03.778-07:00This is also discussed on
