Observational evidence against birefringence over cosmological distances

Abstract: (arXiv)
We show that recent radio and optical observations of polarized radiation from well-resolved high redshift quasars and radio galaxies rule out the cosmological rotation of the plane of polarization claimed recently by Nodland and Ralston. A least squares fit to the radio data has a slope only 2% of their claimed effect.References(10)
