I'm not sure if I follow. As you say, quasars are always (as far I know) been found associated with a host galaxy. For the quasars in Alp's atlas, the only nearby (visually) galaxies which could serve as the host galaxies (and which likely are due to the observed dust bridges) are ones with...

Some astronomers, such as Toomre, have postulated that quasars are the result of galactic collisions. I thought that this explanation of quasars has become relatively well accepted, at least initially. If so, wouldn't these galactic collisions be consistent with Arp's theories that the quasar...

Here is a short summary: http://www.cosmologystatement.org/ Here is a little longer summary: http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Cosmology-Big-Bang-Theory.htm I'd also recommend the cover article of the August 2005 issue of Scientific American for a summary of the problems found in the...

Not to worry. A rash of recent findings are casting doubts on inflation and the big bang theory. It may not have happened at all.
