Quantum mechanics isn't mind blowing, after doing 4 courses in QM I'm quite happy with wavefunctions and operators.

What you said, doesn't it only apply to that particular "light emission". We're trying to mess with the age of our universe and the first galaxies are the quasars, which mean we need to measure with their light. And maybe our sources were incorrect, but we were trying to say that our distance measuring has flaws in it, and we want to repair it basically.

The method described is how we find a lot of distant galaxies, quasars are a pita to age since we don't know their original size or roatation period and how much energy they lose per rotation.

We have about 4 distance measures used in cosmology and each of these has weaknesses, but cosmology while interesting is not my strength.
