Redshift: A Hypothetical Question - 11-25-2007, 05:10 PM

I have a hypothetical question; now this is just a mind teaser.

If say, there was a centre to the Universe, and all the Galaxies were being drawn towards it. Would they still register as red shifted, if they were accelerating as they get ever more closer to the centre?

I have thought about this for a long time, maybe as long as 25 years. I am finally asking someones opinion, that may have a strong understanding of 'red shifts'.

Moderator note: this has been split off from the thread on primordial black holes
