a light-year is a measurement of distance, not time.

I think modern science went wrong when in the original Star Wars, Han Solo bragged about being able to do the Kessel Run in under three Parsecs. Parsecs measure distance, about three light years, not time. Ever since Scientists keep insisting that a Light Year is a measurement of time, not distance.

A light year is actually the distance that a beam of light can travel in one year, with a constant rate of 186,000 miles a second.

A light-year is a measurement of distance, but, the light arriving here now from these galaxies represent the galaxies as they were 7 billion years ago. So the statement in the article is correct.

It is well known that Einstein couldn't even do simple math. So of course he would get his formulas mixed up and got the wrong results. That is how he could be both right and wrong at the same time. That is how quantum math is supposed to work.

Please, don't shout your ignorance from the rooftops. Relativity is a highly mathematical theory - I can assure you Einstein had a pretty good knowledge of maths. And realtivity and quantum theory are utterly different. Unless physics and maths have changed since I did my degree.

All of this cited evidence stems from the assumption that red shift is caused by the light emitter speeding away from the observer and causing a Doppler wavelength shift . Some physicists believe this to be incorrect. Dr. Milo Wolff is one such physicist and those interested in an alternate view might be interested to read his article on the subject found here: http://www.quantummatter.com/_Media/Astron-CosmolWebSite.pdf
