Hello,

if a black hole exists inside a quasar, then the gravitational effects must cause red shift on photons. Why is it that the red shift of quasars are attributed to dopplar effects? I have never read any book (not technical journals because I won't understand) which accounts for gravitational red shifts. How can they be so sure that such large red shifts present in quasars are due to receding velocity?
