EVIDENCE FOR QUANTIZED AND VARIABLE REDSHIFTS IN THE COSMIC BACKGROUND REST FRAME

Evidence is presented for redshift quantization and variability as det ected in global studies done in the rest frame of the cosmic backgroun d radiation. Quantization is strong and consistent with predictions de rived from concepts associated with multidimensional time. Nine famili es of periods are possible but not equally likely. The most basic fami ly contains previously known periods of 73 and 36 km s(-1) and shorter harmonics at 18.3 and 9.15 km s(-1). Several approaches to evaluating the significance of quantization are employed and the dependence on r edshift, the width and shape of 21 cm profiles and morphology is discu ssed. Common properties between samples define several basic classes o f galaxies. Quantization is consistently optimized for a transformatio n vertex very close to the vertex of the cosmic background dipole. Rel ationships between cosmocentric and galactocentric rest frames are dis cussed.
