Reports on results that contradict the Michelson-Morley
experiment and a related article on a flat-space theory of
general relativity

on just one spectral line form the Sun.

This report shows evidence for compact clouds only a billion
kilometers across.
(Editors note: I found this particularly interesting as
plasma theory indicates that there should be a fractal hierarchy
of magnetically confined filaments in intergalactic space. The
clouds claimed would have the right density and size to fit into
this hierarchy. However there are a number of assumptions
involved and there are other explanations for the rapidly
variable absorption lines.)
Strongly Variable z=1.48 MgII and FeII Absorption in the Spectra
of z=4.05 GRB 060206

Yet more problems with too-old galaxies. Some galaxies at z~1
seem older than the Big Bang and there is no Metallicity
evolution for AGN as far back as z=4.5.
