摘要:A statistical study is made of the redshift--magnitude relation for a recent comprehensive catalogue of quasi-stellar objects. The chronometric theory, although devoid of free parameters such as the q0 and {Lambda} of the expansion theory, provides an excellent fit to the observed relation. The expansion theory does not provide an empirically meaningful fit.
