What evidence other than redshift/distance relationship is there to support 
the Hubble Law? It would seem that other effects on photons could be 
postulated to explain the loss of energy. It just seems like a weakness to 
me that the whole cosmological picture of an expanding universe has been 
built on this single effect: redshift.
