Abstract
The gravitational lens effect is applied to a powerful light source changing rapidly with time and lying far behind and close to the line of sight through a distant galaxy. The possibility of testing cosmological theories is discussed. Special account is taken of the steady state theory and theories based on general relativity. The chance of observing the phenomenon is discussed.Keywords
