Abstract

A relativistic red-shift effect is found that is distinct from the doppler and gravitational red shifts and provides a mechanism for producing large local red shifts without raising kinetic energy problems. This effect produces red shifts in discrete amounts—a situation for which there may be some evidence in quasar observations.
