If light is not Doppler-shifted, then it is stretched so as to look
Doppler-shifted (idiotic but who cares):

Frank Atkinson (comment 6): "I warmly applaud the accurate
observatonal work of the prize winners - on supernovae. However, the
Prize was awarded on the grounds of the work showing that the Universe
is expanding at an accelerating rate but this is merely conjectue
based on the prior guess that the Universe is actually expanding. It
seems reasonable to expect the elimination of prior guesswork before
handing out prestigious Prizes. All the facts relied on for an
expanding Universe have alternatie explanations. For example we know
the redshift is not due to the Doppler effect. or we would have to be
at the centre of the Universe. Problematically, the Doppler effect is
the only proved redshift effect caused by motion, others are
guesswork. However, a model called the cosmological redshift, has been
fabricated, to make the redshift be a measure of a notional expansion.
This relies on the expansion being produced by space itself stretching
and pushing galaxies apart. The redshift is then said to be caused by
the expanding space, stretching the wavelength of light as it passes
through it. There is no known method for either space to stretch and
expand or for it to stretch light as it passes through it. This model
is pure metaphysical speculation."
