Dear All, but especially astrophysics experts,
Is the red shift of light, which would be due to the source moving
away at great speed, intrinsically unlike the red shift due to Rayleigh
scattering (which selectively scatters shorter wavelengths; 1/[length to
the fourth power]) ?
With ample dust in space, ranging from particles to atoms, one
would expect the red shift due to scattering to also be a function of
distance to source.
