Could these papers be wrong or is the Big Bang theory in question.

Hello Pluto
While I get it that so far the Universe seems isotropic and homogeneous when viewed on Large Scale, not to mention that the Cosmic Background Radiation is uniform to 1 part in 100,000, but are you saying you're aware of no differences in the early Universe, even at visible light frequencies?
Yes! and Yes! Those papers could be wrong AND the BBT is in question. I'm not yet saying they are wrong and, but as I've posted in other threads, the odds are still in favor of the Standard Model including BBT. Admittedly this is a revolutionary age in Astronomy and this could change rather quickly as more new data comes in. Renewed Hubble with COS, the awesome Herschel Space Telescope and the Planck telescope are but three that are underway as we speak that will likely have a profound impact on questions and answers.
BTW good to see you focusing more on redshift since it is so fundamental - if the Universe isn't expanding BBT is done. I will read the papers. Most of the links you post aren't exactly digestible in one sitting on the john (or, loo, if you prefer)
