Do the redshifts really exits ?.
It is vital importance to examine whether there is incontrovertible evidence in favor of the redshifts. More specifically, we raise the question whether the numerical coincidences found between the ratios of wavelengths of lines observed in quasars and those of the wavelengths given in the search list of lines, are significantly more than would be expected from chance coincidences. We have carried out investigations in the spirit of the paper of Russel and Bowen (1929) to examine this question. Quasars having z greater than 0.2 were considered. Computer experiments to simulate the spectra of two emission line quasars were made, about 80 percent of these nonsense spectra could be assigned reasonable redshifts. The PLS Model. We have shown above that the PLS model for quasars predicts large variations in the relative intensities of lines undergoing laser action. Given the appropriate conditions, laser action is possible in a great many spectral lines. Thus is is readily seen that quasars
