“Apostles of the noncosmological origin of quasar redshifts must now… recant, or else maintain that the unknown laws of physics which fix [these] redshifts…extend [over] appreciable distances to apparently normal galaxies…” The style may evoke the 17th century Holy Office, but the arguments, and the interesting new data that support them, are to be found in a recent issue of the Astronomical Journal. Timothy Heckman (University of Maryland) and his collaborators in this new investigation of the perennial quasar‐redshift problem trust that their mock‐theological tone will be taken in a spirit of good humor.
