- Redshift is continious: SRT tells you that the ratio of the observed
- frequency f' and the original frquency f from an object that moves w.r.t.
- the observer is given by:
-
- f'/f = \gamma(1 - v cos(\phi)/c),
-
- where \gamma = \sqrt{1-v^2/c^2} and \phi is the angle which the movement
- makes with the line which connects the object and the observer. Because v
- can change continiously, the redshift is continious.
-
- Ofcourse, quantumgravity may change this view when we have discovered it.
