Well, maybe we're not that acquainted with history...
and evidences shows that the red color is an intrinsic property instead of shifting effect for most of space objects, otherwise some quasars would travel faster than light...
Interesting. I wonder how evidence could even show that. What amount of redshifting (in %) would correspond to traveling away from us at the speed of light?
Or is that just not taking the Einstein gamma into account properly?
My dime-store theory is that there would always be red shift, however tiny, in any object moving away from you. Regardless of the fraction of the speed of light it may be travelling. It might be a challenge to determine whether the red is due to movement, or is naturally there anyway. Are there any blue shifting phenomena out there?
