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 !
I changed my undershorts. The elastic on the old ones I put on that day was deteriorated, and it completely failed when I dripped lab coffee on it, causing falldown.
Answer:
12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
Explanation:
In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:
12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.
