<br />I'm curious how this event might fit into Dr. Van Flandern's Meta Model. Any comments?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">The Meta Model predicts a class of highly collapsed, supermassive stars with high redshift. One class of quasars seems to meet this description.

If that is correct, it would be possible for such objects to form outside galaxies. But more likely, they would escape from galaxies. In the case in question, if the source was a close, low-redshift galaxy, it would have been ignored as a possible parent to a high-redshift object. Remember, if a nearby galaxy ejects an object, the object can still be close to its parent galaxy even though its angular distance might be a degree or two. -|Tom|-

The data on GRBs is not focused at a pin point in 3D space-its not focused in 2D space better than several seconds of arc. So, it seems to me the data does not indicate the GRBs are at a great distance. Its only modeling that causes anyone to believe they are at a great distance.

An object given by the theory was never observed because it may be considered as a quasar: it is an accreting neutron star.
The accretion of a cloud of hydrogen heats the surface to a very high temperature, and surrounding hydrogen, heated, atomic, excited, produces, by CREIL effect, a high redshift and a Lyman forest.
The heating may extend far, so that a CREIL effect may work for farther objects which appear close to the quasar, get a too large, but lower redshift.
