Hi Amber Robot
My knowledge of this stuff is more confined to the aspect of quantized red shifts for which I have a theoretical explanation that correctly predicts many of the observations. So my main interest is in establishing whether the reports by Tifft, Arp etc are real, and whether methods used by other people on bigger surveys do not find results because of reasons, such as those that I have outlined, that have not been properly understood and allowed for.
I knew what lyman series where but had to look up about the damped part. What is the problem here? Is it that these absorption lines are at high red shift? Also, I assume that the problem with low metals is that this is taken to mean that the material is primordial? Both of these observations (assuming I have understood correctly) are expected results if Arp is correct and quasars are new matter created by ejection of energy from a galaxy, because it is effectively primordial.
