Being the "lone wolf" means being wrong? That's asisine and he's actually not the lone wolf (read attached article) so either retract that false notion or be branded a liar by your own erroneous statement.
Dismissing years of research by Arp amounts to suppression of evidence that refutes the findings of those that are resistant to new discovery. Also known as blackballing.
Unpublished Review of
Halton Arp Catalogue of Discordant Redshift Associations 2003, Apeiron, Quebec
Seldom can so much theory have hinged upon an observation.
Halton Arp's new book, reviewed here by N Kollerstrom, features a paradigm-shattering colour photo of this galaxy plus quasar.

The photograph was taken by David Strange, a Dorset amateur astronomer, clearly showing ( figure opposite) the 'luminous bridge' between them .
Does this picture reveal the secret of the universe, that galaxies bud to form quasars of higher redshift?
A recent Astronomy & Astrophysics report, based on observations at La Palma, has endorsed the notion that a galaxy (NGC 7603) and its nearby companion of very different redshift, are physically linked: it is its "authors" found 'the most impressive case of a system of anomalous redshifts discovered so far' 1. As early as 1971 Fred Hoyle described this galaxy plus companion as 'The case where it is hardest to deny the evidence 2' - and the evidence here concerns what one might call a 'forbidden link,' impossible within modern cosmology: then in 1983 Hoyle alluded to 'the manifest fact that NGC 7603 is connected to its satellite3 ' Is this indeed a manifest fact, or is it a mere error in perception as modern cosmology would have it? Do the new observational data comprise a crucial experiment, and if so what implications would there be? For an answer this we turn to the theories and the new book of Mr Halton Arp.
If one views the form of a spiral galaxy, it can appear more as having unfolded out from a centre, rather than having condensed inwards from geneous matter in space. That an hesis does quite well express the contrast between Arp's views, and current cosmological theories. We have become conditioned to the idea of black holes at galactic centres, as a logical consequence and end-result of the Big Bang. Let's try instead to envisage Arp's view, of galactic centres as white holes, from which the matter of galaxies has emerged. Creation, out of nothing?
Sir Fred Hoyle - Sir Fred Hoyle (June 24, 1915 – August 20, 2001) was a British astronomer, notable for a number of his theories that run counter to current astronomical opinion, He spent most of his working life at the Ins ute of Astronomy at Cambridge, and was director of the ins ute for a number of years.
Hoyle's View
Hoyle always supported Arp - as Dr Jane Gregory, who is composing a biography of Fred Hoyle, explained to me. Jane works in the same department as me (the STS Dept at UCL) and told me how she had an interview with Sir Fred before he died: he kept showing her images of the filaments linking galaxies to adjacent quasars). This was clearly expressed in his 1983 The Quasar Controversy Resolved as well as in his last (posthumous) book co-authored with the eminent cosmologists Burbidge and Narlikar: A Different Approach to Cosmology: From a static Universe through the Big Bang towards Reality. Hoyle coined the term 'Big Bang' in 1950, in a derisive and skeptical sense, and his last le politely informs the reader of its erroneous nature. Through this book Arp is cast as the heroic pioneer, e.g. concerning how astronomers terminated his profession of astronomy in America in the early 1980s: 'Thus, Arp was the subject of one of the most clear-cut and successful attempts in modern times to block research which it was felt, correctly, would be revolutionary in its impact if it were to be adopted 8'. The authors endorses Arp's argument, e.g.: 'It is clear that over the past 20 years a great deal of evidence has been found which shows that many QSOs [quasi-stellar objects = quasars] with large redshifts are physically associated with galaxies having much smaller redshifts 9. The closure of his US career was surely beneficial, inasmuch as it resulted in Arp moving to Berlin's Max Plank Astrophysics Ins ute, with its new, X-ray telescope. He could re-examine objects he had earlier viewed through an optical telescope at the X-ray wavelength, as revealed their most energetic parts.
