G'day Buffy
What you say is correct and I thank you for the quick response.
But! we must not be blinded by the light of many.
Redshift is questioned and it requires further research so that future data can fit whatever theory.
What part of the paper do you disagree?
Do you think light does not change over distance and time?
Do you think that lensing is not a fact?
Do you think that ultra dense matter does not influence the wavelength of light?
This is quite interesting paper.

Abstract: Crucial observational tests of gravity physics are reviewed. Such tests are able to clarify the key question on the nature of gravitational interaction: is gravity the curvature of space? or is gravity a matter field in Minkowski flat space as other physical forces? Up to now all actually performed experiments do not allow to distinguish between these two alternatives in gravity physics. The existence of well-defined positive energy-momentum of the gravity field in Poincare-Feynman approach leads to radical changes in gravity physics and cosmology which may be tested by laboratory experiments and astrophysical observations. New possibilities for observational distinction between geometrical general relativity and field gravity theories are discussed. Among them: the contribution of the scalar repulsive force into Newtonian gravitational interaction, post-Newtonian translational motion of rotating bodies, gravitational deflection of light by small mass bodies, scalar gravitational radiation from spherically pulsating stars, existence of limiting radius, surface, magnetic field for massive bodies and absence of singularities and horizons for relativistic compact objects.

I think I post links to save me from typing.
The problem I have is that the more papers I read the more I find myself knowing that I know very little in the scope of the universe.
