What does RedShift really mean???
From it's beginning in 1993,
I have realized that most people don't know what is really meant by the
name.
red·shift
(r d sh ft )n.
An increase in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial
body as a consequence of the
Doppler effect. (from American Heritage Dictionary)
As you know, when a race car
passes you and is moving away from you, it changes pitch from a higher
pitched sound to lower-pitched (Doppler effect). In the same way, a
car would have a reddish appearance as it is moving away from you at
near-light speed (low frequency light wave), and that is called a
RedShift...and you probably aren't going to catch it! :) - Chris
