Abstract
CONSEQUENCES of far reaching cosmological import have been inferred by Solheim1 from the incidence of radio sources in directions nearly opposite to those of known quasi-stellar objects. The evidence rests chiefly on (i) the frequency with which radio sources occur within one degree of the anti-position, in relation to that expected from a random distribution, and especially its enhancement for those quasars with red-shifts in the range 1.2⩽ z ⩽2.0, and (ii) the reduction below statistical expectation of the average value of the separations between the anti-positions and their associated sources, also occurring preferentially over the same range of red-shifts.
