As a "Proveably" top Physicist (I have a Physics Degree, aka BSc, from Bedford College, London...) I feel able to help here:

This was a recent Scientific Observation.

I have again (today) made money from my Physics career:

I keep my stakes modest, so as not to alert "Da Bookies" that I am using ADVANCED QUANTUM METHODS to make money.

Silver Knott wins again! More profit. 🙂

"A picture paints a thousand words". Perhaps a few 'more' could help?

I'm not sure if your use of quotation marks is helping here, Steve.

Quotation marks (whether they be single or double) around single words can be used for emphasis, but only when quoting a word or term someone else used. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/quotation-marks-around-a-single-word/

Disco-Pete puts quotation marks around words (and phrases) in what appears to me to be an incomprehensible process.

I can accept that in his initial sentence, "Okay, but is it really 'there'?", he is referring to the concept of the word within the single quotation marks, but then he takes it all too far.

P.S. My English at school was almost as poor as my Maths! What we need is a self-proclaimed Linguist to explain it all - do you know of anyone so self-proclaimed, Steve?
 
Isn't it just amazing how vernacular works? Licence is taken to shape it and before you know it...voila!

However not so quickly as to lose the gist of one's intended message.

Otherwise my daddy's old 'saying' would have no merit now, would it?

In any case I suggest research continue by the 'washed'. 😳

The word "vernacular" refers to the spoken form of a language.

Here we were referring to the written form of a language.

It's "amazing" what my High School education taught me!

I'll now be returning to physics and astronomy where I feel most comfortable.

I'm getting a beautiful view of the Full Hunter's Moon tonight, with the Planet Jupiter off to its right.

Here's a stock photograph (minus Jupiter).

So how is it that red shift vs blue shift is not a representation of varying c when it's a representation of differing speeds of moving matter? If two objects passed each other at say 1/2c 1LY from Earth(directly toward and away from us) and each emitted a single photon simultaneously directed at us, would both of them reach us at the same time?
