Since Copperclouds are stackable, I would find it reasonable to believe that Cadmium and Bendalloy are as well. I don't know how much the effect would stack, but I think it would be there in some amount.
Redshift?

Larry Niven deals with exactly these types of issues in a SciFi setting in his short story ARM.

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about those stories. They're a pretty good example of trying to work out all the side effects of something like that. Though Niven did include the caveat that light-speed became slower if you sped up time, which probably isn't something Brandon would go for.
My favorite probably-not-canon fan quote:
"Oh yeah we burn metals in an actual furnace. What, none of your guys ever tried that?"

Well we have been able to slow light down to 38 MPH www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/slowlight.html so it is entirely possible that the edge of the bubble has a physical effect as well as a temporal one.Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten about those stories.

So. does this mean that you could make out if someone's burning cadmium/bendalloy by the difference in colours outside and inside the bubble?

My question- how could you use this, plus presumably other allomancers/feruchemists to create FTL transportation? Brandon said it was possible, and I am trying to figure out how. Maybe a Iron Cheming increases his weight a massive amount, a Iron Misting pushes on some engine, and a Cadmium bubble keeps this happening faster than real time? Except that the bubble is stationary.
Hmm. Unless the bubble is stationary to the person's gravity placement (like time manipulators in OSC's Pathfinder). Yeah. The "spiritual" connection that connects a person to the planet also ties their bubble to them. So, if they had a new gravity, the bubble would stay there too.
Maybe a Chromium push on a handful of Cadmium burners lets it happen. That be amazingly expensive though. Especially considering how much it already costs to get a ship up in space and propel it places.

I've got a degree in Theoretical Realmatics.

I thought I'd note, since people are still posting in this topic, that, based on my reading of the sample chapters in Alloy of Law, Brandon has decided to avoid this issue entirely. So, canonically, redshifting does not occur.
As for FTL, that probably deserves its own topic.
