I reflect on the challenges scientists encounter when publishing unconventional research in premier journals, particularly when contradicting established paradigms like the big bang theory. Censorship within academia restricts free expression, making publication difficult. The narrative illustrates the persistence required to publish alternative theories, highlighting systemic biases and gatekeeping in scientific discourse.

A new method analysing quasar redshifts confirms their periodic intrinsic nature. This strengthens the physical association of quasar-galaxy pairs and undermines the foundation of standard cosmology. The high redshift objects may not be as distant as previously thought.
