During 1996 Tifft published several investigations of global redshift periodicities present in redshifts when they are transformed to the Cosmic Background Radiation rest frame.
Similar patterns are present in the mass-energies of the stable fundamental particles.
A cosmological model based upon three-dimensional time is being developed which is consistent with properties of particles, fundamental forces, quantized redshifts and other cosmological effects. The basic equations describing periods resemble forms of Kepler's third law which may have broad implications regarding the structure of matter, space and time. An international conference relating to Models of Time in Physics and Cosmology, was held in Tucson in April 1996 with support from a Research Corporation grant. The Proceedings, published as a text and a special volume of Astrophysics and Space Science will be available in 1997.
