hahah no I'm not contradicting myself.
What I'm demonstrating is that the standard theory is wrong.
If redshift = distance, then it should be impossible that we see high and low redshift objects connected to each other, yet we see such connections all over the place.
Thus, redshift must not be

I thought you made the same claim as the standard theory that redshift and distance are correlated, though there may be some exceptions in either theory? Am I right or wrong about that?
I thought your beef with the standard theory was that you disagree the redshift correlated with recessional velocity, not that you disagree that redshift generally correlates with distance.
Standard theory doesn't say redshift is "strictly a function of distance as the standard theory claims."" so that's a false claim on your part. On the redshift versus distance chart, while there is a best fit straight line, most of the points are actually off the line, so for each deviation from that line, there is some other explanation for the deviation other than the general linear relationship of redshift versus distance.

We are talking in circles. My reply to the three hypothesis you came with was that they only seem to propose an explanation for quasars, and don't seem to explain the different red shift in galaxies that are at the same distance. So I expect an answer that goes something like "no they also explains discrepancies for galaxies red shift, and it works like this and this". Or you can answer "EU can't explain it that very well yet".

No matter which theory one subscribes to, they have to account for the blue shifted galaxies. If it was strictly a function of distance, there would be no blueshifted galaxies because that would represent a negative distance which is impossible.
So saying it's a general correlation is one thing, saying it's "strictly a function of...." isn't right. There's too much variability in the data to say it's all due to one correlation of anything as the blueshifted galaxies demonstrate.

Lets look at galaxies.
Part IV: Restates the coherent radiation transfer process described by Moret-Bailly, (CREIL),which is responsible for displacing the redshift of quasars-like objects, and their host galaxies, relative to the rest of the universe.

See part IV for more information on how CREIL can affect intergalactic space, and hence, galactic redshift.

Yes, I know CREIL could explain red shift anomalies caused by quasars like objects, I am asking about difference in red shift between galaxies that are very near each other, like demonstrated in the movie you linked.
If you don't know this, just say so, I won't bite.

Yeah, I got my own video that debunks that nonsense.
You mentioned the Einstein cross and how it was ridiculous that the intensity of the lensed images could change so rapidly if they were refracted images instead of real quasars. Actually it occurred to me it may be easier to understand the fluctuation if they are refracted images, if you understand how refracted images work.

I don't know if this has been answered yet, been away from the thread. But... Why can't we include plasma physics in a universe filled with plasmas? Why is that so wrong? Why is that considered "pseudoscience"? Why can't electricity have any effect in space born plasmas, but its perfectly fine for plasmas on Earth?
I just can't follow the logic here.

I see mainstream articles about plasma physics in space all the time.
Mainstream doesn't reject plasma or its effects.
What the mainstream rejects is silly notions like the sun isn't powered by nuclear fusion but by some unseen, unproven electric inflow that doesn't exist. But mainstream acknowledges plenty of plasma and electromagnetic phenomena in space.

Yes, yes it does reject REAL plasma and its effects.
Within Jupiter's magnetosphere, there is a significant amount of hot, ionized gas, or plasma. This plasma moves along with Jupiter's rotating magnetic field, sweeping charged particles off the surfaces of its moons as it passes them. Io has a particularly significant impact on Jupiter's magnetosphere. Io's volcanoes continually expel an enormous amount of particles into space, and these are swept up by Jupiter's magnetic field at a rate of 1,000 kg/sec. This material becomes ionized in the magnetic field and forms a doughnut-shaped track around Io's orbit called the Io Plasma Torus.
As Io circles around Jupiter and through the plasma torus, an enormous electrical current flows between them. Approximately 2 trillion watts of power is generated. The current follows the magnetic field lines to Jupiter's surface where it creates lightning in the upper atmosphere.
