Quasar Debate Rocks Cosmic Yardsticks
Parsing a heated dispute since 1970s over quasar distances challenges the redshift basis of the Big Bang. Proponents of nearby quasars argue for local origin with intrinsic redshift, while critics defend distant, universe-spanning objects. Key figures include Maarten Schmidt, James Gunn, Halton Arp, Geoffrey Burbidge, and researchers at Caltech, JPL, ML, and University of Maryland. The outcome could reshape cosmology and physics.
