Old talk: from Red Shift, up to April, 2004, up to August 2005, up to Novemeber 2005 ---

Redshift and the POV of nonscientist layman Iantresman

As things have settled down a bit, I popped over here to see a terrible change to this article. Ian, claiming that the nonstandard redshift explanations are "non-Doppler" and the others are "Doppler" is not only incorrect, it belies an inordinate ignorance of the physics involved. You need to cut out your POV-pushing. Redshift is well described as the article stands right now. All that really needs to be done is relegate the non-standard explanations to POV-related articles. Redshift is well-established in intro astronomy texts as the four causes listed up front. The remaining ideas are outside of the mainstream and do not belong in the article. --ScienceApologist 17:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Science edit now complete. If anybody sees any errors or ambiguities, let me know. --ScienceApologist 18:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

By the way, no scattering processes are included anymore. They are not agreed upon in the scientific community to allow for full-band redshifts and therefore should not be included. --ScienceApologist 18:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


I've reverted your changes Joshua. I'm sorry you didn't like the changes to the article.
  • Your description of me as a "nonscientist layman" is childish.
  • I have no made any "claims" as you put it. Every statement I have included is taked from peer-reviewed articles as required by the scientific process, and as suggested by Misplaced Pages policy. I suggest that your read it more thoroughly.
  • Redshift, as described by this article, is far more inclusive than your narrow viewpoint.
  • "Redshift is well-established in intro astronomy texts"
I suggest that you get your head out of your as-tronomy text book, and read further afield.
