But it's incredible that all these self proclaimed scientists have missed it entirely, and I am the first to name it so. This only shows how incredibly stupid they are. Including Einstupidein.
Yes, the quasar is surrounded by ionised gases or plasma which is electrically charged and has a very high index of refraction.
This very high index of refraction is supported by the observations, which show how light is extremelly warped by it, in what these complete idiots who worship Einstupidein call an 'Einstein ring', once again confusing an effect of refraction with that of gravitation. Just like Einstupidein did. You can't get more stupid than that.
Ya know, I actually did suggest to someone some years ago, that that ring could be due to a galaxy (and the plasma around it) being roughly lens-shaped, instead of being due to gravity affecting light. Might've been on YT, can't remember.
Apparently, he hadn't thought of it, but had just accepted the gravity explanation given somewhere else, without thinking about it.
I think this is actually a large part of the explanation; there is just so much to learn today, so much stuff to absorb at university,
that they just accept whatever explanation(s) given, because they don't have time to think things over.
And even if some do, they are "brought in line" by social pressure, due to our tribal nature, which we sometimes forget about.
Sadly, that means universities have become (mostly unintentionally?) centres for indoctrination of the theories of relativity.
I will admit, it took me 27 years to forget enough about those theories, to be able to come up with my own hypothesis.
Now, it finally looks like observational evidence is going to put those theories to rest,
but it will be anything but fun for those believing fully in them, having to change what is undoubtedly an ingrained part of their worldview.
Cognitive dissonance is a nasty experience.
Edit: before I forget; refractional redshift should actually be quite hard to detect, as it's only ~7% across 1 billion lightyears.
An experiment to show it, would have to attain an extremely strong electrical field, for it to become detectable.
