It all started out with a simple joint question in the lecture hall which we then answered in the wrong way at first: “What happens if a light ray is passing through a cauldron of randomly moving mirrors?”
The answer is clear: “Its frequency is systematically altered.” But before publishing, we realized that the mirrors must be replaced by gravitating point masses if the light is to be redshifted rather than blueshifted, as this is being observed in nature. In this way [1], we unbeknownst to us had re-discovered Zwicky 1929 [2].
