Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, May 24, 2026 Klingon word: ghIqIr Part of speech: noun Definition: redshift Source: qep'a' 32 [2025] _______________________________________________ (REQUEST qep'a' 2025): "The redshift of the galaxy cluster is quite high." "Doppler redshift is the stretching of light waves (or other radiation) into longer, redder wavelengths because the light source is moving away from the observer. Like the drop in pitch of a passing ambulance siren, this relative motion shifts light toward the red end of the spectrum, helping astronomers measure how fast stars and galaxies are moving. [...] The terms Doppler shift and redshift are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different underlying physical phenomena that stretch light to longer (redder) wavelengths. The Doppler shift is caused by an object moving through space, while cosmological redshift is caused by space itself expanding." [Google AI Overview] Lieven, qepHom 2016, 11/07/2016): For effect (as in Doppler Effect), use the name for the effect followed by {wanI'} (phenomenon). So the Maltz Effect would be {matlh wanI'}.
