One interesting idea is that the red-shifts of distant objects must increase as they get further away.

Already known. Already measured. That's what the Hubble Constant is.

I saw a graph of Hubble's law once, with a tiny box around the origin and the comment that this was the range of observation that Hubble had originally used to forumlate it.

BTW, I was lookiing at your article and thinking, "Now this guy's making sense!" and then saw your sig ... "Well, if it isn't Fred Z ! Howdy doo!"

It's true. The Hubble Law was a tremendous extrapolation. The amazing things about it was that it was predicted from the equations of General Relativity alone before Hubble confirmed it by observation, and both of those things happened more than 30 years before Penzias and Wilson discovered the CMB.

Doing well. Hope you are, too.
