TL;DR: In this article, the cosmological interpretation of the red shift in the spectra of quasars leads to yet another paradoxical result: namely, the Earth is the center of the universe.
Abstract: It is shown that the cosmological interpretation of the red shift in the spectra of quasars leads to yet another paradoxical result: namely, that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Consequences of this result are examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in high-temperature stars in which high-speed mass loss is occurring, the rapidly recombining plasma in the stellar envelope can act as an amplifying medium.
Abstract: It is shown that in high-temperature stars in which high speed mass loss is occurring, the rapidly recombining plasma in the stellar envelope can act as an amplifying medium. Model calculations for laser action in Heii λ4686, using the collisional-radiative model, are presented. Menzel's hypothesis of laser action in distended stellar atmospheres is shown to be fully substantiated. The relevance of these results in resolving the problem of intensity anomalies in the spectra of Wolf-Rayet stars is pointed out.

TL;DR: The envelope function in the largest angular size-redshift diagram for quasars is shown to have no intrinsic physical significance as discussed by the authors, which is a consequence of the distribution of their redshifts.
Abstract: The envelope function in the largest angular size-redshift diagram for quasars is shown to be a consequence of the distribution of their redshifts and to have no intrinsic physical significance.
