When comparing the results of the cosmological tests obtained by various authors using various methods, it is found that there has not been any trend of convergence in the values obtained for the deceleration parameter q 0 , in spite of the accumulated and more accurate data. The empirical data – those on the global and the local cosmological tests and those pointing to the non‐existence of cosmic evolutionary effects – can be interpreted in a plausible way in the framework of a static E UCLID ean model. This well reconciles the non‐D OPPLER ian nature of redshifts implied by the studies of the redshift phenomenon itself.
