... You may have noticed in the drawing (reproduced here) that the circuit of the fluorescent light fixture included a " ballast coil. ... Ordinary hot-filament lightbulbs are connected directly to power lines, but fluorescent lamps always receive their current through a ballast. ... And if you think Ohm's law is badly violated by fluorescent lamp plasmas--just wait till you read about the ring current , the electric current carried around Earth by trapped ions and electrons of the radiation belt. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

The foundation of my research program is in astrophysics, where almost all of our knowledge of the universe beyond our solar system derives from detecting light that has been emitted, absorbed, or scattered by atoms.
