At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us.
IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.
We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us. That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.
If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window. There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !
Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.
For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.
