Red Shift
The fact that red shifts appear to be quantized has interesting
implications for the study of the universe. This suggests that the red
shift may be caused by something other than the expansion of the
universe, at least in part. This could be a loss of energy of light
rays as they travel, or a decrease in the speed of light through
discrete levels. Maybe there is some other explanation.
The following quotation concerning this phenomenon is from "Quantized
Galaxy Red shifts" by William G. Tifft & W. John Cocker, University of
Arizona, Sky & Telescope Magazine, Jan., 1987, pgs. 19-21. I thank

As the turn of the next century approaches, we again find an
established science in trouble trying to explain the behavior of the
natural world. This time the problem is in cosmology, the study of the
structure and "evolution" of the universe as revealed by its largest
physical systems, galaxies and clusters of galaxies. A growing body of
observations suggests that one of the most fundamental assumptions of
cosmology is wrong.
Most galaxies' spectral lines are shifted toward the red, or longer
wavelength, end of the spectrum. Edwin Hubble showed in 1929 that the
more distant the galaxy, the larger this "red shift". Astronomers
traditionally have interpreted the red shift as a Doppler shift
induced as the galaxies recede from us within an expanding universe.
For that reason, the red shift is usually expressed as a velocity in
kilometers per second.
One of the first indications that there might be a problem with this
picture came in the early 1970's. William G. Tifft, University of

...on of the red shift, but there
can be and are other interpretations. A galaxy’s' red shift may be a
fundamental property of the galaxy. Each may have a specific state
governed by laws, analogues to those in quantum mechanics that specify
which energy states atoms may occupy. Since there is relatively little
blurring on the quantization between galaxies, any real motions would
have to be small in this model. Galaxies would not move away from one
another; the universe would be static instead of expanding.
This model obviously has implications for our understanding of red
shift patterns within and among galaxies. In particular it may solve
the so-called "missing mass" problem. Conventional analysis of cluster
dynamics suggest that there is not enough luminous matter to
gravitationally bind moving galaxies to the system.
In Alan Lightman’s, “Our Place in the Universe,” he describes his experiences in the Greek Isles explaining how meek it made him feel to be surrounded by the vast ocean with no land in sight except a small strip of brown in the distance. Great thinkers throughout history, have been exploring the visible variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, though the greatest of these are size, from the smallest atom to gargantuan stars. These massive differences in size change the way we view ourselves in the universe. (470) Garth Illingworth, from the University of California, has studied galaxies more than 13 billion light years away from us.
Have women really experienced progress? Or has their oppression just changed in form? There is no doubt that women, overtime, have gained more power throughout society. From the first and second waves of feminism to today women have fought and won battles over political, personal, psychological and sexual aspects of female oppression. Essentially, they have experienced and continue to experience a revolution. Nevertheless, despite this acclaimed progress, women still face significant forms of oppression.
The Red Convertible is a short story which holds a lot of meaning. It contains a deeper meaning than just two brothers and their car. The story begins in the 1970’s on an Indian reservation when two brothers decide to split the cost on a red convertible they had spotted driving by. They put a copious amount of work and time into the convertible. After completing their project they decide to hit the open road and travel around the country. All is well until one of the brothers is drafted into the war.
The red tree by Shaun Tan is all about depression. Shaun Tan wrote this book so the readers and viewers know what it is like with depression. The last picture is the book is when the girl is in her room with the tree uses lots of techniques including body language for an example the smile on the girls face which means she might feel happy agian and her gazing up to the tree. It would make the auidence feel happy as the girl found something to make her happy as some days beign with nothing to look forward to.
One effect of the expansion of the universe is the redshift ("redshift") of all wavelengths. That means, among other things, that there is a loss of energy with distance; that is, that there is an "extra" loss of brightness proportional to 1 / r. The more distant, less bright than it was even in a static universe
Just as butterflies transform and evolve, so did Alice Walker’s main character in The Color Purple. Cellie, the main character, had transformed and evolved in the story. Throughout Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple, Cellie went through four stages, and transformed from a weak girl into an independent woman. This novel showed how Cellie’s wings were cut in childhood, but she managed to fly with independence.
Redwall is a tale of a huge abbey which is named Redwall and within it live all sorts of animals, such as badgers, mice, squirrels, shrews, rabbits and hedgehogs. Redwall’s greatest hero is named Matthias. He is young mouse who seems normal, even average, in appearance, but through a series of adventures and tests he discovers that he has courage and greatness within. This book is recommended to all teenagers because of three main reasons. The first reason is that it is a story about good verses evil and each has their own champions. The second is that it has amazing detail that makes you feel like you are right there. The last one is that there is one last major battle to see what who will prevail.
A nurse has many responsibilities in their job. While performing those duties, it is vital that they maintain good professional character. What is good professional character and how does it incorporate into the workplace? This paper will delve into the different character traits that the professional nurse should possess. These traits include the ability to tell “right from wrong, think and act rationally, keep promises and honor obligations, be accountable for their behavior, recognize and honor interpersonal boundaries, and promptly and fully self-disclose facts, circumstances, events, errors/omissions” (Nursing, Texas Board of, 2013).
Just recently a major discovery was found with the help of a device known as The Hubble Telescope. This telescope has just recently found what many astronomers believe to be a black hole, After being focuses on a star orbiting empty space. Several pictures of various radiation fluctuations and other diverse types of readings that could be read from that area which the black hole is suspected to be in.
P-51D Mustangs zooming by and all you can see it the bright red tails of the aircraft. As we all know by now that the Tuskegee Airmen were one of the best if not the best fighter squadron of WWII. I wanted to write some about aviation that interested me and affected the outlook on minorities in aviation. First on wanted to talk about how this whole outfit started also what it took for them to become the red tail as we all know today. Also what other planes the flew during the war and some off the big named pilot that came for the Tuskegee airmen and what they did after the war.
“I've told her and I've told her: daughter, you have to teach that child the facts of life before it's too late” (Hopkinson 1). These are the first three lines of Nalo Hopkinson's short story “Riding the Red”, a modern adaptation of Charles Perrault's “Little Red Riding Hood”. In his fairy tale Perrault prevents girls from men's nature. In Hopkinson's adaptation, the goal remains the same: through the grandmother biographic narration, the author elaborates a slightly revisited plot without altering the moral: young girls should beware of men; especially when they seem innocent.

In Hopkinson's adaptation, the goal remains the same: through the grandmother biographic narration, the author advances a revisited but still effective moral: beware of wolfs even though they seem innocent.
It may produce no new information but it seems plausible, even logical, that it would have an impact at least

Astronomers believe that most galaxies consist of a supermassive black hole at the center, which attracts all constituents of galaxies such as, dust, gases (mainly Hydrogen and Helium), atoms, stars, interstellar clouds and planets to the center by force of gravity, but are not sure whether all galaxies contain a black hole in the center. Galaxies keep moving in relative motion to one another and intermittently can come so close that the force of gravitational attraction between the galaxies may become strong enough to cause a change in the shape of the galaxies, while in exceptional cases, the galaxies may collide. If two galaxies collide, they may pass right through without any effect or may merge, forming strands of stars, extending beyond 100,000 light years in space (World Book Online Reference Centre, 2005). Hence, neighboring and often other colliding galaxies induce the sha...
