The Redshift Controversy: the Early Debate on Whether or Not

question 84

Essay

The Redshift Controversy: The early debate on whether or not quasar redshifts were correctly interpreted by Hubble's Law (to indicate that quasars lay at enormous distances)is an excellent example of how a scientific debate was (reasonably)quickly settled by appeals to the observational evidence. Outline all of the observational evidence that quasars are indeed associated with the nuclei of distant galaxies and, therefore, their redshifts can be correctly interpreted using Hubble's Law.
