Dear Bill,
Here are some answers to the questions. I am also adding some references.
More answers could certainly be given later.

----------
Certainly, it has been demonstrated by Jauch and Rohlich around 1960 that
in quantum electrodynamics ALL interactions are inelastic and therefore
necessarily lead to redshifts. However, Jauch nd Rohlich solved the
calculations only in the case of particles and atoms. The problem was too
complicated for molecules but the collisions are necessary inelastic. I
have made a semiclassical calculation of the energy loss of the photons
(redshift) in the paper:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/HUBBLE/Hubble.html
It shows that there is a redshift which is proportional to the amount of
gas, light has crossed in space which is roughly proportional to the
distance. It also explains the redshift on the Sun's disk which has never
been explained otherwise. See at:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/Chromosphere/CHROMOSPHERE.html
Hard copies can be obtained directly at:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/Reprints/Redshift$of/
Furthermore, many redshifts of galactic objects cannot be explained by
relativity. The explanation is easy using the non elastic redshift
mechanism. You can see the paper Non_Doppler redshift of Some Galactic
Objects at:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/DOPPLER/Doppler.html
The full paper appears at:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/Reprints/Non$Dop/
On this last paper, you can see that the inelastic Non-Doppler mechanism is
absolutely necessary to explain the astronomical observations.

----------
I have never said that it works ONLY if the density of atoms is large enough!
It works at any density. The redshift is (linearly) proportional to the
density times the distance traveled plus some other factors explained in my
papers.

----------
The paragraph above is what is written at so many places. It is the most
non-scientific article in Cosmology.
"When you read: the average recent density of matter is roughly one proton
per cubic meter"
Is this the result of a measurement? or the result of a theory? or what?
This is NOT the result of a measurement. Measurements always report
missing matter. Intergalactic gravitational fields show that the amount of
matter in the Universe in much larger.
This claim is a theoretical prediction assuming Einstein's General
Relativity. We know that this model does not work. They had to invent the
inflationary universe to correct Eintein's theory. Astrophysicists admit
all the time that there are problems, but they do not have the courage to
change the model.
Every week they discover new clusters of galaxies. Two weeks ago, I have
seen on the Web that the number of galaxies in the universe has been
revised. They have decided to DOUBLE the previous number of galaxies.
Do you know that the average number of atoms MEASURED in a spiral galaxies
like ours (in our Milky Way) is 2 millions atoms per cubic meter? Such a
large density increases considerably the average in the universe to more
than one proton /cubic meter. In nebula, there are ebillions of atoms
/m^2. Furthermore there is the transparent matter (missing mass) plus
other transparent gases that do not emit spectral lines as explained in the
paper: Cosmic Matter and the Nonexpanding Universe published in 1989 (Web
address:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/UNIVERSE/Universe.html
You can get a hard copy of this paper at:
http://www.newtonphysics.on.ca/Reprints/Cosmic$Mat/
It is non-scientific and misleading claiming that the density of matter is
the one calculated by one particlar model (one special case of Einstein's
relativity), when observations and knowledge of spectroscopy lead to a
quite different answer. By the way, my formation as a physicist is in
spectroscopy.
I am convinced that the average (including gases in galaxies) is about
0.02 atom/cc.

I know Halton Harp quite well. I met him several times. We even played
tennis together.
His observations of anomalous redshifts of quasars are very important.
However, it would be too long to comment all the paragraphs above.

Thank You. You might be interested to see the original copy of this paper.

[MP]
>> Can the model predict the temperature of the radiation correctly?

--------------
The small anisotropy of the radiation is due to motion of the solar system
with respect to the universe. One must note that this is motion with
respect to the universe is NOT COMPATIBLE with Eeinstein's Relativity.
According to Einstein, it must be impossible for the observer to detect his
own motion. Einstein claimed that all velocities are "relative" and that
there is no difference between us moving with respect to the universe and
the universe moving with respect to us. According to Einstein, we should
not be able to detect that anisotropy of the radiation. You must notice
that NOBODY has predicted that anisotropy before observing it. However,
experimentally it is an experimental fact that this anisotropy is
observable in spite of Einstein's relativity.
My explanation of the phenomena requires a fixed frame of reference as
explained in my book and some papers. This anisotropy is in perfect
agreement with my description (and mass-energy conservation).

This is quite correct.

--------------
A model of gravity that started to exist later is NOT COMPATIBLE with
Einstein's Relativity.
It is an Ad Hoc hypothesis. It is like before Galileo when the circle was
a perfect figure and they decided to draw circles inside circles instead of
drawing ellipses. When a theory does not work (like relativity), we must
find a new one, instead of putting a cataplasm on the old theory.

There are so many things wrong in the Bing Bang model. It never happened.
Tell me, since there were nothing before the Big Bang, what is the cause of
the Big Bang?

------------
The redshifts appear anomalous because it is not a Doppler effect. It is
due to the amount of gas between the source of light and us.
