Redshift "Quantization" Claims
Setterfield also invokes redshift quantization in his
theory.
Our
galaxy is the centre of the universe, 'quantized' red shifts show
by D. Russell Humphreys. Some of the problems with redshift quantization are covered on this site under Anomaly Science.
- Much of these claims are tied to the work of William
Tifft (check ADS
for papers).
- Develop simulation exercise demonstrating how false
periodicities can appear in small gaussian-distributed datasets such as
those used in the papers by Tifft and others claiming quantization.
This
is a well-known issue in signal processing.
- This analysis can most certainly be checked against
the SDSS
as
opposed to the 250 galaxy result Humphreys uses. I suspect there are
some
periodicty searching algorithms that could test the claimed offset to
the center in a large survey like SDSS, possibly even some type of
moment analysis.
- Process Humphreys' model back through the tests to
see
if it is consistent with the non-quantized models.
