Any alternative models for redshift generation?

What about the Lyman Alpha Forrest in quasar redshift? Is this part of your explaination of observations?

Jim,

I've described two completely different mechanisms of redshift. The first one, engaging the non-linear multiphoton processes, could take place only in very special conditions and is an absolutely speculative thing; so some further speculation may arrive at explaining virtually anybloodything.
The other one that's about the frequency transformations of EM field in variable-K medium, must, at least, contribute to the regular redshift in the interstellar space. I can't insist that it's the primary mechanism, since I did no quantitative analysis of that process.
What I'm most certain of, though, is that there must be many different processes generating the observed redshift. After all, losing energy is so natural in macroscopic processes. Squeezing all the observational data into a BB model definitely is an act of utter indecency.

I tend to think energy is not lost ever; simply overlooked or misplaced by workers in the field. One main oversight is the matter of transforming energy into matter. This may not be directly related to redshift but then again it may be. It is quite clear to me redshift requires a loss of energy and that energy goes somewhere.
