The Two Pillars of the Big Bang Fall |
The Big Bang theory has two pillars: redshift caused by
velocity --> expanding universe; microwave radiation -->
fireball remnant. But supernova data corrected for
Malmquist bias shows no "time dilation", so cosmological
redshift cannot be caused by velocity. And the absence
of the S-Z effect in ~ half of galaxy clusters means
microwave radiation must be foreground, not background. |

Fingerprints of a Local Supernova: Prevalence and
Implications of Metallicity in Planet-Hosting Stars |
We examine the implications of
metallicity for planet and star formation, and suggest
it unlikely that stars and planets could form
spontaneously from low-density, nebulous material.

A time dependence has been measured and predicted for
the gravitational field. This argues that the
gravitational field was much greater in the past than it
is now. Analysis of the tangential velocities in the
arms of spiral galaxies shows that a time dependent
gravitational field can explain the data without the
need for dark matter. The same time dependence provides
a cosmology that needs no dark energy to explain the
universe expansion data. The weakening of the
gravitational field is the basic cause of the expansion
of the universe. |

Failure of Hubble's law in supernova SNR1987A |
The distance of SN1987A is evaluated
by Hubble law or by ratio of
absolute and angular radius of its ring giving
2Gly and 160000 ly respectively. Hubble law fails if a
spectrum contains a Lyman forest (quasar spectrum). Big
Bang looses its foundation.
Coherent spectroscopy explains this failure, existence
of some rings, proximity effect, anomalous acceleration
of Pioneer probes |

Decay of cosmic vacuum energy tuning cosmic |
Modern cosmology
has an obvious need for cosmic vacuum energy density to
be reconciled with cosmological observations. While in
standard precision cosmology vacuum energy density is
treated as a constant, we want to show that for basic
physical reasons it only can have an action on the
cosmological expansion, if it changes with cosmic time.
We present a solution in which vacuum decay tunes matter
creation and thereby leads
to a causting universe with conserved total
energy. |

Does scale expansion explain the universe? |
A new cosmological theory is presented based on the
proposition that all four metrical coefficients of space
and time change with the cosmological expansion. |

Fourier analysis of the large scale spatial distribution
of galaxies in the universe |
Fourier analysis on the redshift data from both SDSS and
the 2dF GRS indicate that galaxies and quasars have
preferred and periodic redshifts with strong agreement
from 2dF GRS Application of the Hubble law results in
galaxies preferentially located on concentric shells
with periodic spacings. And similar but much larger
periodic spacings were found in the quasar redshifts. |
