A tolman surface brightness test is a comparison of the ratio between the redshift (measured as 'z') and the surface brightness of galaxies at different distances, so as to plot the relationship between the two. Supposedly, the results of this graph either support an expanding universe or a static universe. Different physicists have claimed that the results support different models.
