Quote:Bob SchroeckYes, that more distant quasars don't pulse less frequently than closer ones might be seen as mysterious, but that article is giving Einstein's theories of relativity too much credit. While time dilation might marginally contribute to redshift, it is almost entirely caused by the Doppler Effect, which is perfectly valid under Newtonian physics, thank you.

Time Dilation.
Anyways, armed with the knowledge that quasars pulse because they rotate like interstellar lighthouse beacons, the solution to the mystery becomes clear: earlier quasars rotate faster. Why earlier quasars rotate faster, I can't answer, but there you have it.
