Spectrum Blueshifts
Astronomers 300 Doppler philin in stollnr apncirn, as the colors or wavelengths) of the dark lines change depending on the motion of the star.
If the space object goes away from the earth, from us, the vertical dark lines on the spectrum seem to have shifted to the right side. This is called red shift. If the object comes nearer to the earth, the vertical dark lines on the spectrum seem to have shifted to the left side. This is called blue shift. Both these shifts are known in physics as the Doppler effect or the Doppler shift. 43
Such various spectra are available for black-holes, white holes or white dwarfs and neutron stars also. Through their study, scientists determine the velocity of these objects. Among the signals coming from distant space objects, especially from black-holes and received through radio-telescopes, two signals coming from the same object, have some duration of time between them. The greater the velocity of objects which have a greater velocity than that of light, the longer the time duration between two signals and the lesser the velocity, the lesser the duration of time between two signals. The time duration between two signals received from some objects which have been transformed into black-holes varies from 0.3 second to 1.5 seconds.44 According to my calculations, these black-holes go away from the earth at a velocity which is greater than that of light. The velocity of a black-hole which has a time duration of 0.3 second, can be 3,90,000 km/sec. whereas the velocity of a black-hole which has a time duration of 1.5 seconds can be
