Spectroscopic Red Shifts

There is no evidence that Minkowski space is flat on the large scale. The assumption of euclidean Minkowski space could therefore be, and probably is an illusion, like the flat earth. In fact, there is compelling evidence from observed spectroscopic red shifts that space is curved over galactic distances. These red shifts are proportional to distances from the source, precisely as required by a curved space-time[52j. An alternative explanation, in terms of an expanding-universe model that ascribes the red shifts to a Doppler... 

A plot of V vs —1/ 2 should be linear, with equal slope and intercept. The most reliable and accurate data available fail this test statistically [24], The discrepancy is not large but significant and reminiscent of the spectroscopic red shift measured in galactic light. The common origin of these discrepancies cannot be a Doppler effect and most likely is due to space-time curvature. 

For di- and polynuclear gold(I) complexes vith two Au(I) centers held in close proximity, a lower energy 5denergy from its mononuclear counterpart is a spectroscopic signature [2, 7, 44]. Excitation to the 5da —> 6pG transition gives rise to a [5da, 6pa] excited state having a formal... 

The complex [Ru(bpy)2(2-Me0C6H4PPh2-P,0)] + exhibits a significant red shift of the absorption and emission spectra that is concentration dependent. From NMR spectroscopic data, it is concluded that this observation arises from equilibration with an aqua complex. Structural data and the solution properties of [Ru(bpy)2(2-Pr0CgH4PPh2-P,0)] have been reported." These results expand on an earlier report of [Ru(bpy)2(2-R0CgH4PPh2-P,0)] (R = Me, Et)." ...
