Scientific paper

Recent observations casting doubt on the uniformity of Hubble's constant are discussed, and the hypotheses that have been proposed to explain these observations are outlined. Rubin, Ford, and Rubin (1973) have reported variations in the distribution of the radial velocities of Sc I galaxies. In addition, a correlation has been found between the degree of red shift of the light of distant galaxies and the mass of galaxies which it must traverse to reach the observer. It has been suggested by several workers that these effects are the result of the interaction of photons with extremely light, neutral particles, designated phi particles, as the result of which photons suffer a loss of energy. Hubble's law is recovered from this model if the density of phi particles is assumed to be globally constant. It has been suggested that the rate of expansion of the universe is nonuniform, with a higher value at the interior of galaxy clusters.
