A question regarding the redshift of star light being proportional to the star's distance from us. I suppose there were other, competing explanations for this when it was first observed (e.g. that light somehow loses energy/frequency extremely slowly over large distances), in addition to the currently accepted expansion explanation. Is this true? Any reference (or short explanation) of how other theories were ruled out?
