I have simply been honest about what I know about and what I don't, as requested. You need to understand that the redshift periodicities is just one of very many areas of cycle research that I studied. Also I am 60 years old now and do not always remember everything perfectly accurately.

Sorry. In rereading this the bistates is simply meaning a 36 km/s periodicity not a 72 km/s one. Yes I did understand about this from Tifft but just did not remember the term. What I wrote previously about bistates was nonsense. My apologies for that.

Actually, in Section II of this paper, Tifft states very clearly that "
bistates is simply [...] a 36 km/s periodicity not a 72 km/s one" is "
inconsistent with the internal models of galaxies in DSR1 where a state spacing of 70-75 km s-1 is clear and no significant amount of 36 km s-1 periodicity is seen." And Tifft spends quite a few pages in this paper explaining his 'states' model and how he analyses the data to show consistency with his model. Do I correctly understand your post (which I have quoted here) to say that you reject Tifft's 'state' model but accept "
a 36 km/s periodicity" despite your rejection?
Alternatively, if you accept this 'state' model, please state (summarise) the good observational results which are evidence for it.
I also asked about the ~18 km/s "
galactic expansion" in Tifft's paper - would you like me to repeat, or clarify, my question on this?
