The redshift periodicity of galaxies as a probe of the correctness of general relativity
Abstract
Recent theoretical work determines the correct coupling constant of a scalar field to the Ricci curvature of spacetime in general relativity. The periodicity in the redshift distribution of galaxies observed by Broadhurst et al., if genuine, determines the coupling constant in the proposed scalar field models. As a result, these observations contain important information on the problem whether general relativity is the correct theory of gravity in the region of the universe at redshifts z<0.5.
