If all galaxies began to show blue shifts, it would indicate that the universe is contracting rather than expanding. This could suggest a reversal in the overall dynamics of the universe, potentially leading to a scenario known as the "Big Crunch," where galaxies move closer together and ultimately collide. Such a shift would challenge current cosmological models that support the expansion of the universe, which is primarily evidenced by red shifts observed in distant galaxies. This fundamental change would have profound implications for our understanding of cosmic evolution and the fate of the universe.
The observation that red shifts of distant galaxies gets greater the further away the galaxies are.
Large Doppler shifts indicate significant changes in the frequency or wavelength of light or sound waves due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. If the shift is towards shorter wavelengths (blue shift), it suggests that the source is moving closer, while a shift towards longer wavelengths (red shift) indicates the source is moving away. In astronomy, large red shifts are often associated with distant galaxies, providing evidence for the expansion of the universe.
This should be because of the fact that the Universe is expanding. You see a blueshift when objects move closer to you. Other than super distant galaxies, most galaxies will not measure to be a blueshift due to the fact that the Universe is expanding and accelerating.
Yes. Also, the size of the red-shift for all distant galaxies is directly proportional to their distance from us. This means that the space between us and all distant galaxies is expanding. Thus, Einstein's (initial) view that our Universe has been eternally stable in the location of matter must be false. No surprise that he referred to his early view as his "greatest blunder."

Doppler red shifts and blue shifts of light from the stars in the galaxies.
Between them.
Generally, the galaxies that are further away will have the larger red shifts.

Astronomers conclude that the universe is expanding, because wavelengths are increasing.

Workers at a major battery factory go on strike and stop production.If there was a change in the price of batteries would indicate movement along the supply curve. For example if the battery manufacturer raised the price of AA batteries from 3.50 to 3.95 since it would cause movement along the curve. In an ideal economics situation the price would change if the demand shifts or the supply shifts or the change in price will fall back to being equal.

When a scientific paradigm shifts, it indicates a significant change in the fundamental beliefs, theories, and methods that guide scientific research and understanding in a particular field. This shift often occurs when new evidence or discoveries challenge the existing framework, leading to a reevaluation and restructuring of scientific knowledge and practices.
This redshift is a strong indication that the Universe is expanding. The only reasonable explanation of this redshift is the Doppler effect, and this means that the galaxies are moving away from us. The greater their distance from us, the faster they move away.
