Peculiar Galaxies and Red Shift
Halton C. Arp and Peculiar Galaxiies
Halton C. Arp is one of the key actors in the contemporary debate on the origin and evolution of galaxies in the universe. His landmark compilation of peculiar galaxies led him to challenge the fundamental assumption of modern cosmology, that redshift is a uniform indicator of distance.

"actor" is indeed a good characterization for Halton C. Arp. |

I've actually worked with Halton Arp. He seemed quite mild mannered
to me. It is a scientist's job to question the status quo. Of course you get brickbats in response. Halton had to take a job in Germany because no one would give him a job here. Mad's quote from him about someone being wrong about the redshifts being a sign of true expansion or not is valid. Halton's research has tried to prove that there is more going on than just a true expansion. He has been rather extreme at times about what his research shows. Therefore, the brickbats. After I worked with him I read a very interesting interview of him which I've since wished I could have asked him questions about his research. He is a very interesting person. This reminds me of another extreme scientist named James McDonald of the U. of Arizona. Dr. McDonald (be careful as there are a number of such named scientists) was an expert in atmospheric physics. He testified before Congree (back in the '60s as I remember) that the SST would destroy the stratosphere and for the U.S. not to build one. Only problem is that he lied to Congress! His research showed the exact opposite: The SST would have NO effect on it. He went too far and his peers blacklisted him. He couldn't get anything published after that in a reputable scientific journal. He tried to commit suicide and failed (damaging one eye with a gun)! He tried again later and suceeded. I've heard that students at the UofA were later told that Dr. McDonald was a martyr. He lied to Congress and was no martyr as far as I'm concerned! Meanwhile, the Russians, French/British and the military have flown plenty of flights up there with no effect although I'm sure most of you have heard claims about detrimental weather being caused by such flights.

Not to mention the dreaded "Chemtrails!" *s******* Chemtrails and crank sites are very useful, of course. They divert attention from responsible assessments of the effects of aviation such as the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution report at http://www.rcep.org.uk/aviation.htm |
