Abstract
Claims that the redshifts of galaxies are quantized at intervals of ~24, ∼36 ~or ~72 kms−1 are being subjected to rigorous statistical scrutiny using new, accurate redshift data. The results of this enquiry to date are reviewed. The presence of a global galactocentric periodicity ~ 37.5 ± 0.2 kms−1 is confirmed at a high confidence level. A strong redshift periodicity of ~ 71.1 ± 1.3 kms−1 also exists amongst the galaxies of the outer regions of the Virgo cluster.
