Scientific paper
Explanations offered for ambiguity in the redshifts of quasars, determined by measurements of absorption lines, and the significance of such ambiguity for hypotheses viewing quasars as the most distant perceptible objects in the universe, are reviewed. The author's hypothesis is that the redshift ambiguity results from properties of the photon per se, and is due to the prolonged traversal of space by the arriving photon. Photon disappearance over cosmological time intervals is posited on the basis of quantum EM field theory in the De Sitter cosmology and zero-order harmonic oscillator energy. Finite photon lifetime and absorption of photon energy by space (on the scale of the universe) are postulated.
