Halton Arp

Halton Arp is a retired American astronomer, the author of 1987 book "Quasars, redshifts and controversies"[1] who fell out of favour due to his behaviour after his unconventional theory on the nature of quasars was conclusively disproved by the Hubble Space Telescope. In 1993 Arp co-athored with J. Narlikar a paper on geometry of spacetime.[2] that proposed the idea of flat spacetime also proposed by other authors[3].

Arp's research contradicts the idea of expanding universe and confirms the idea that the universe is stationary as it was suggested with exact relativistic physics and Newtonian math in 1985 [4].
