How are both distances derived and why does this derivation make such a huge difference in the final assumption?
I read through and what I got so far from it is that the signals we assume to be red shifts are actually something else?
Also, did third any parties ever replicate his work? Novocane raised the point that the anomalies don't matter if they don't happen in high enough proportion to the majority of contradictory data.
Also red shifts can mean a few things: that the light travels through a strong gravity field, the source of the light is moving away from us (not necessarily distance), or a number of other things
Well, the distances of objects in mainstream cosmology are determined by redshift. Redshift times the speed of light equals speed. Arpian cosmology determines distance through Standard Candles, the TFR (Tully-Fisher Relation), Proper Motions (not accurate but good for determining if an object is local or not), and more that I don't know of.
There have been plenty of studies and people et al with Halton Arp that demonstrate his against the mainstream validity. I can give you links here of his many peer reviewed studies:

If you look at Arp's work on connecting bridges of matter of galaxies with quasars then you would see. Additionally, proper motions studies have been done on these quasars that show that they cannot be as far as the mainstream redshift interpretation implies, as proper motion studies angular displacement, and, therrefore, the further away a star, galaxy, etc. is, the less it will have proper motions.
Here's a study that's an example of that:

I hope all of this makes sense.
