In standard inflationary cosmological models, the redshift of cosmological bodies is ascribed to the doppler effect caused by the expansion of the universe, with greater redshift interpreted to mean greater cosmic distance from the Earth (see Hubble's Law). This is referred to as cosmological redshift. Ruling out errors in measurement or analysis, quantized redshift would either indicate that these objects are physically arranged in a quantized pattern around the Earth, or that there is an unknown mechanism for redshift unrelated to cosmic expansion, referred to as "intrinsic redshift" or "non-cosmological redshift".

In 1973, astronomer William G. Tifft was the first to report evidence of this periodicity

A 5 years of observational study of quasars and galaxies published in 2006 noted various anomalies in the redshift-distance correlation that would be expected with a cosmological redshift:


 * "Summing up, observations challenge the standard model, which assumes that the redshift of all galaxies is due to the expansion of the Universe, and we must consider they are at least an open problem to be solved."
