Abstract

It is pointed out that Stephenson (1977) has used incorrect Δz, and has also made an arithmetical error, which invalidate his claims. Tests for randomness of quasar red-shifts clusters using correct Δz, have been carried out and it is shown that at least for clusters having three red shifts or more the distribution is highly non-random. The model of the Universe proposed by Stephenson does not in any way explain these red-shift clusters; it merely substitutes one paradox by another.
