“…Selection effects are in any case important sources of departures from randomness in the number/redshift distribution of QSOs (Basu, 1978b), despite claims (e.g., Karlsson, 1977) that periodicities exist which cannot be explained as being due to observational effects. (In the previously much-discussed Ritz theory, the velocity of light propagation as measured by an observer is c + v where v is the velocity of the source; but astronomical tests of this dependency by Heckmann (1959Heckmann ( , 1960, Dickens and Malin (1965) and Brecher (1977) confirmed that the velocity of light is independent of the velocity of the source, as in Einstein's theory.) The arguments of the previous three paragraphs show that, basically speaking, QSOs and galaxies have redshifts determined primarily (and probably entirely) by the Doppler effect operating in an expanding Universe.…”
