Quote:
During 1997 Tifft continued investigations of global redshift periods present in redshifts when they are transformed to the Cosmic Background Radiation rest frame. An analysis of possible redshift variability and evidence for association of particular periods with specific classes of galaxies was published in 1997. The proceedings of an international conference relating to Models of Time in Physics and Cosmology, held in Tucson in 1996 and edited by Tifft and Cocke, was also published by Kluwer in 1997. In August 1997 Tifft returned to Steward Observatory after completing a sabbatical leave at NRAO in Green Bank West Virginia where programs of 21 cm observations using the 140-foot telescope were finished (Extragalactic, Theory)
What does the observed distribution look like for the redshifts of galaxies when transformed to the Cosmic Background Radiation rest frame?
Are the redshifts in the Cosmic Background Radiation rest frame distributed in a smooth and random way or does the data tend to cluster and be lumpy? Has anyone investigated this?

I want to tell you about my experience in 1994. Having developed a theory which explains many of the structural features of the universe I worked out that there should be a number of periodicities in the redshifts of galaxies in addition to the 72 km/s one that I had heard of. I posted an article to sci.astro making my predictions and asking advice on what data to analyse to test my predictions. I got an email reply from an astronomer advising me to read various papers by Tifft including one in 1978.
When I went to that paper I was amazed :D to find that 16 years before my "prediction" Tifft had reported an almost identical list of periodicities in redshifts. These included 72, 36, 24, 18, 12.0, 9.0, 8.0, 6.0, 3.0, 2.67 km/s. These are all related in proportions of 2s and 3s. My predicted figure was 72.153 km/s and Tifft's first report was 72.135 km/s +/1 approx .01 or so.
I have no understanding of waves and therefore no relevant questions about harmonics theory. But I do wonder about the current developments in Tifft's research. How impressive is the observational evidence for quantised redshifts today and how is the scientific community reacting to the evidence and interpreting the observations?

Hi Eugene
I have been a bit slow replying :-)
Just rediscovered your site.
The astronomical community mostly just ignore Tifft.
Guthrie and Napier decided to do a similar analysis with new data expecting to prove Tifft wrong - and to their surprise found a periodicity matching one of Tiffts.
The evidence is very good. It comes from a variety of studies by Tifft and also by Halton Arp and others.
