Distant quasars don't exhibit time dilation like supernovae do. What's the current explanation for this?
Oh yeah, source:

Very interesting and surprising. Reading through the comments, none of the explanations really satisfy me. It seems like the real problem is that quasars measured at 6 billion ly and quasars measured at 10 billion ly both exhibit the exact same redshift. In our expanding universe, this doesn't make sense and the quasar 10 billion years ago would have more redshifted light. I think a good explanation for this may be that quasars further in the past (10 billion ly away) are more active, and have more material accreting into them. And because there is so much material, it slows down the speed of each individual particle (imagine draining a bathtub vs putting a single glass of water down the drain. Because the particles are moving more slowly, the time dilation effect would not be as pronounced. It just so happens that the rate of expansion of the universe exactly cancels out the "activeness" of the quasar, thus giving off no measurable difference.

brainlet here, what is time dilation?

How the hell do telescopes even work?
Its pretty amazing that using stack of lenses allows us to zoom into objects billion light years away. How is this even possible?

bubba put clock on rock and on bubba
bubba throw rock very fast
bubba go to where rock
bubba look at clock on bubba and on ground

That is the first interpretation proposed on his paper. The author makes an argument against but it is the best explanation. [ https://arxiv.org/abs/1004.1824 ]

>lenses
telescopes use mirrors.
lenses cause chromatic and spherical aberration
also they're heavy and expensive

Anon, have you forgotten refractors? Those telescopes are the only telescopes to most people.
