ANNOUNCEMENTS &
NEW ITEMS:
(Most recent at top of column)
(2024 July 12): Press Release:
Remarkable convergence of gravity theory and empirical evidence has revealed
the cosmic-scale geometry of the Universe.
The DSSU research article "Natural
Cosmic-Scale Geometry of Our Universe" has now been published. Links
are posted here. □
Meanwhile, the war on civilization escalates:
● See the reports at Big Sky Free Press –Beyond the Headlines
(http://www.bsfreepress.net/)
● Assassination attempt on President Donald Trump (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozCQwPyVKlE).
(2024 June 21): After some now-familiar rounds of fake reviews and
rejections, the latest DSSU research article —entitled Natural
Cosmic-Scale Geometry of Our Universe— has been accepted for
publication. It is an outstanding work, outstanding in the sense that
the underlying theory agrees wonderfully with the empirical evidence —the
abundant and incontrovertible astronomical observations. This is science of
the highest standard. And yet, one reviewer flatly asserted, “It is
completely unscientific,” and recommended rejecting the article
(prompting the editor of the Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation
and Cosmology to decline its publication). What!? Thirty-eight
supporting references is not science!? And what about the text and
diagrammatic content being as clear as a cloudless day? … Yes, that
journal, and two others, recognized a serious threat to their sacred
Worldview. □
Meanwhile the decline of civilization and the loss of freedom
continues.
There is an ongoing reinstitution of the ancient practice of
slavery. "During this revival of servitude and oppression, the systems of
enslavement have been greatly upgraded and enhanced, for the purpose of
effectively enslaving the entire human race."
"One of the true motivations behind the DNA altering vaccines, that
are being imposed on all of humanity, is to genetically engineer mankind
with a view to create a new model of human that will perfectly obey
their modern masters."
–Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, Corona Investigative Committee, Grand
Jury Summary (
www.StopWorldControl.com )
(2024 March 8): The Cosmic Geometry paper is currently being
peer-reviewed.
Meanwhile: “The disintegration of Western civilization is
proceeding so rapidly that I cannot keep up with it even as a full time job.
… It is happening right in front of our eyes.” –PaulCraigRoberts.org
(2024 February): New research paper, focusing on the large-scale geometry
of the Cosmos, is currently being readied for publication. It details
the arrangement of gravity cells and how the rhombic dodecahedron is
embedded within a superoctahedron.
Meanwhile: Reflect on the mega-crime of the last century —Dresden
Hellstorm (February 13-15, 1945). It is appalling to think its
perpetrators were actually hailed as war heroes!

Blood of Dresden by Kurt Vonnegut

(2023 October): The
Gerhard Herzberg Award, 2023: Canada's most prestigious prize for
science and engineering went to Yoshua Bengio, a scientist who
helped make the AI revolution possible. As the scientific director of the
Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms and professor at the University
of Montreal, he is both excited and cautious about the future of the
technology he helped create. Congratulations.
(2023 October 12): George Orwell Free Speech Award, 2023:
Congratulations to Jurgen Neumann who was presented with the award
“For outstanding courage in challenging censorship and defending freedom in
pursuit of the truth and for outstanding talent as a freedom communicator &
videographer …”
(2023 September): Newly posted:
Question regarding The Fermi Paradox.
Where are other advanced civilizations?
Meanwhile, history continues to repeat itself and teach essential
lessons:
“As is becoming increasingly more obvious, even to historical novices,
mainstream academia, mass media and what passes for journalism these days is
agenda driven, not truth driven. Certain narratives and ideas that
advance particular agendas are elevated and promoted, while dissenting or
alternative perspectives and viewpoints are hysterically dismissed or
censored.” –The Barnes
Review Vol.29, No.5 (Sept/Oct 2023, p69)
(2023 August):
Important UPDATE to the so-call discovery/detection of gravity
waves (the ones predicted by Einstein’s geometric gravity theory). Turns
out no gravity waves were detected! Just as I had suspected and reported
years ago. … What the LIGO and VIRGO teams actually found was a match-up
between measured signal noise and preprogrammed idealized wave
patterns (i.e., computer stored preexisting general-relativity gravity
waves). It was simply the result of a computerized search to obtain a very
approximate and partial fit between measured signal and simulated “chirps.”
…What was presented to the ever-credulous public was not the actual recorded
waves, but rather the pre-stored-in-computer-memory idealized wave patterns!
Such are the findings of a collaboration of four researchers. [Abstract
& link to full article in the International Astronomy and
Astrophysics Research Journal]
Meanwhile, the collapse continues:
“The United States is falling apart in real time.” –The Barnes Review (July/Aug 2023,
p30)
Suppressed is the essence of the spirit needed to resist the accompanying
enslavement: “That traditional suspicion and disdain of an overreaching
centralized government; that ambitious, fearless, risk-taking outlook; that
love of individual liberty and personal freedom; that hardworking,
productive, can-do attitude —these and similar characteristics are the
essence of the true American spirit.” –The Barnes Review (July/Aug 2023,
p22)
(2023 July 28):
Author’s Curriculum Vitae has been updated to include the discovery
of meta-thermodynamics processes.
(2023 July 21): The revolution in cosmology continues. The first
documentation of Nature’s entropy-lowering mechanism —involving a
structure encompassing two separate and independent processes— has been
published. The latest DSSU article presents a discussion of how cosmic-scale
entropy neutrality is maintained —how two processes prevent the Universe
from ever running down. Press
Release.
Meanwhile: The Great Enslavement continues. The ongoing
implementation measures and events —including real and imagined crises— are
too numerous for the average person to keep track of, let alone deal with.
Sometimes too covert to recognize. Oftentimes seemingly benevolent, like the
pending implementation of digital currency. And always propagandized.
(2023 July 1): The report on Nature’s Entropy-Lowering
Processes has been accepted for publication. Five of five
journal-appointed Reviewers deemed the research article to be
"scientifically correct." ... Details to follow.
(2023 March 24 ... April 15): Latest research paper Nature’s Entropy-Lowering
Processes is currently under review.
Meanwhile: Tyranny in Canada! The persecution of Pastor Artur
Pawlowski. Listen to the incredible first-hand account: Just Right Program
#802 (2023-3-16)
(2023 February): DSSU research article currently being prepared deals with
entropy ... with a focus on Nature's remarkable entropy-lowering
mechanism.
(2023 January 16): Who would believe it! An American official holiday for
communism and its foremost promoter. Clearly the lessons of history have
been ignored … all the while the repression, and enslavement, continues.
(2023 January): DSSU Cosmology is now into its 22nd year
on the Internet —the revolution continues.

Excerpts:
● “The man accredited with discovering universe expansion did not believe
that the universe was expanding. Hubble was convinced that the key evidence,
the cosmic redshift, was caused by some other factor, something more
fundamental than mere expansion.”
● “With the recent discovery of a new cosmic-redshift mechanism, and its
theoretical validation, it turns out that Hubble was right.”
● Explains how “an infinite, non-expanding, perpetually regenerating
universe" is able to predict a dark night sky.

foundational property! If one is to claim some great clash of ideas (let
alone the "greatest") then surely there must exist some deep dividing
difference! (Posted 2011-10)

An Open Letter to the Scientific Community
(Published in New Scientist, May 22, 2004)
"The big bang today relies on a growing number of
hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark
matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples. Without them, there
would be a fatal contradiction between the observations made by astronomers
and the predictions of the big bang theory. In no other field of physics
would this continual recourse to new hypothetical objects be accepted as a
way of bridging the gap between theory and observation. It would, at the
least, raise serious questions about the validity of the underlying theory.

INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM:
This website is mainly concerned with revisionism in cosmology. Those of us
involved in replacing the unnatural expanding-universe paradigm are aware of
the difficulties involved.
However,
other revisionists have unimaginable difficulties. Consider the ongoing
persecution of revisionists in other fields of intellectual pursuit:
"It makes you wonder —about the immense effort being made
by State and State-sponsored organizations with budgets of tens of millions
of dollars and thousands of employees and associates to smother and punish
these few men and women. Every punishing instrument imaginable is used,
every vicious slander conceivable, every flagrant and pervasive form of
censorship that law allows, including the imprisonment of simple writers for
thought crimes against the State. ... Makes you wonder." —Bradley R. Smith (2011)
"Discussing truth is so controversial, so dangerous … In most of the world it is simply illegal.”
–
Gordon Duff, Senior Editor, Veterans Today (2011)
"The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who
speak it." –George Orwell

DEDICATION: This website is solemnly dedicated to those
individuals who have conducted research in their chosen field and have
informed others of their inquiries and suffered the consequences when
subpoenaed by the Inquisition or some variant thereof. The dedication
extends to those individuals currently imprisoned, and those facing
trial and persecution simply for exercising their basic human right of
freedom of expression supposedly granted to them under the UN Charter of
Human Rights.
"Every
year, hundreds of writers and other literary professionals around the world
are imprisoned, prosecuted, persecuted, attacked, threatened, forced into
exile or even murdered as a result of their work."
ALSO: Be aware of the continuing threat to our precious freedom of expression on the
Internet. The threat is serious and relentless. It is described as “… the formal effort to mimic Communist China’s
system of Internet censorship.” –

Arthur Topham, Canadian victim of the Inquisition,
arrested (2012) for posting his research.
“Arthur Topham faces prison time for daring to speak his mind on his own website, as he
faces criminal charges under Canada’s hate crimes legislation contained in
Section 318 - 320 of the criminal code.” –Rights and Freedoms Bulletin Issue

VERDICT: Arthur Topham found “guilty” AND “not guilty” of hate speech
by a brain-dead jury!
–Dr. James Sears, reporting in “The world’s

June (www.freenorthamerica.ca
…)
End of free speech in Britain:
A publisher of history books in Britain has reported that “due to new laws
in the UK all their books will have to be censored moving forward” to avoid
criminal penalties for “inciting racial hatred.” –The Barnes Review (2020 March/April)
p77
A hostile jury, by a hasty unanimous
verdict, decided that Nationalist Leader Jez Turner deserves to be sent to
jail for his critical views! Report (2018-5-15).
British Maverick Psychologist
jailed for publishing his research. … “The ambivalence of librarians
getting writers imprisoned quite defies comprehension.” –Simon Sheppard
(2013)
The repression of free speech in Canada has degenerated to the point where …
■ Freedom advocates, such as Marc Lemire, are censured for merely expressing
their reasoned opinions. Freedomsite, whose motto is “Fighting
for freedom against the censorship enforcers”, documents the official
persecution.
■ A tenured professor has lost his position for revealing his research and
views on history. This is unprecedented. Professor Anthony J. Hall at the
University of Lethbridge, Alberta, has been suspended (2016 October 5)
without pay.
“… Any thinking person should recognize that there is something deeply wrong
when a history professor is persecuted for saying we should be able to
examine our history.” –Monika Schaefer 2017
■ A publisher/editor, for expressing his reality-based views, has been
denied postal services. Dr. James Sears, publisher and editor of

Critique of Conventional Cosmology
Posted at:

Printable version of this article:
CosmologyCritique.PDF
|
"One seldom sees what one is not
looking for, and theory tells experimenters where to look." |
|
So warned Timothy Ferris in his popular
book The Whole Shebang. … In other words, one sees what one is
trained to see!
In today’s institutes of higher learning, all students of the astro-sciences are indoctrinated with
Big-Bang expanding-universe hypothesis.
It plays a dominant role in molding the perceptions of the
initiated. This concoction, now officially in its sixth decade of dominance, frames the context of
everything that astronomers see and detect —regardless of how speculative,
how unrealistic, and how unconvincing the ensuing interpretations may be!
1. On Model Tinkering in the Ptolemaic Tradition
Every now and then it is enlightening to
check on the "progress" of conventional cosmology, which, as everyone
knows, embraces the expanding-universe model —popularly called the Big
Bang.
The basic Big Bang has a parameter called the scaling factor.
Think of it as the radius of the growing universe. Its magnitude grows as the
Big Bang universe gets bigger. Technically it is the derivative of this
scaling factor that describes the rate with which the universe is
supposedly expanding. It is a measure of the speed of the expansion of the expanding
universe. Simple enough.
However, the model holds that the speed changes over time. For many
years it was believed that the expansion speed was slowing down. But
careful astronomical observations, notably in 1998, revealed that this was
not the case. Expansion wasn't tapering off. It seemed to be ramping up!
Rather than abandon the model, the experts came up with accelerated
expansion. Henceforth they employed an acceleration parameter, which,
technically, is the second derivative of the scaling factor. (If you
are keeping count, that makes three parameters available for theory
manipulation.) As the story goes, the universe not only expands but it
expands faster and faster. End of story? No. ...
A few years after that notable crisis of
1998 it was gradually revealed, through even more careful and ever deeper
astronomical observations, that uniform accelerated expansion still
wasn't the answer. (Now at this stage any conscious-and-rational person
would have abandoned the Big-Bang ship, especially since there are far
superior models floating around.) Having maintained a tradition of
commitment going back as far as the 1920s when Lemaître formalized the
cosmic-explosion idea, abandonment was not an option. And so the experts now came
up with another parameter. Yes, a fourth adjustable factor! Admittedly it
is not very original. If you can't connect with the underlying reality of
the expansion process, at least you can connect with the differential
calculus. Ready for this one? ... The new parameter is the third derivative of
(you guessed it) the scaling factor. They call it the jerk parameter,
and it means exactly what it says.
Now I assure you I am not making this up
—and in a moment I will do more than assure you by providing the
reference source.
The experts even tell us when, in the
past of the Big Bang, this supposed "jerk" occurred. (It corresponds to
a redshift index equal to 0.5 which corresponds to about 5.4 gigayears ago when the
big bang universe was 9.2 gigayears old,
assuming a Hubble constant H0 = 20 kilometers per
second for every million lightyears.[1]) Think about this
for a moment; a jerk-event occurred at some particular period of cosmic
time. A special identifiable time! What this means is that the Big Bang universe
now has no less than three special moments in time during its existence:
The beginning time (t=0), the end-of-inflation time, and the
jerk time; all in violation of the cosmological principle
(strong version)! It means a violation of the generally accepted rule that
a real universe must have no special time or place.

universe model.

It is little wonder that
physicists and cosmologists consider the expanding universe model to be
preposterous! Physicist Sean M. Carroll even named his website "preposterous
universe." And he goes into some detail in his paper, The Cosmological Constant, available at
https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrr-2001-1.
Undeterred by considerations of
preposterousness and implausibility, a group of experts, using the latest
high-z supernovae discoveries, presented their ideas for 'improvements' to
the Big Bang. The research paper[2], authored by no less than 19
physicists/astronomers, was published in The Astrophysical Journal, June
2004. (See Reference #2 below.)
Their problem can be expressed this way:
For a growing collection of remote supernova events the redshift-distance
curve does not agree with the magnitude-distance curve (magnitude
corresponds to
apparent brightness). The challenge is to get the theoretical curve
(the redshift-distance graph) to agree with the empirical curve (the
magnitude-distance graph).
And that is why the scaling factor
derivatives are so useful. If it is mathematically necessary to invoke a
fourth or even fifth derivative of the scaling factor, to force-fit the
curves, then so be it. The Big Bang, being, as it is, a mathematical model,
literally cannot fail.
What we
are witnessing in conventional cosmology is the "keeping up the
appearances" in the best Ptolemaic tradition.

2. Baffled by the Preposterous
|
"Sometimes it seems that the only
thing expanding faster than the universe is cosmologists'
bewilderment."
–George Musser, Columnist for Scientific
American (1999 Sept p26) |
|
Another Admission of Bafflement
Dan Hooper is a practicing physicist. He has applied his
considerable talents to the search for the universe's missing mass and
energy ... and the presentation of the details to a broad audience. He has
written a book about the 95 percent of matter in the universe that is
totally invisible. In his words, "This invisible stuff comes in two
varieties —dark matter and dark energy. One holds the universe together,
while the other tears it apart."
In light of the fact that many hundreds of physicists are
involved in this search, and the search has been going on for many years
(since the early 1980s), there should be much to report. Unfortunately,
the search has turned out to be a profound disappointment. Dan Hooper finds
himself making the following admission:
|
"The advances made in
observational cosmology during the past few decades have been
incredible. ... the catalog of distant supernova observations has led
to the discovery that dark energy comprises about 70 percent of our
Universe's density. These findings are remarkable. Sadly, the attempts
to develop a compelling theoretical explanation for these findings
have been not nearly as successful."
–Dan
Hooper, Dark Cosmos, p173-4 |
|
Dan Hooper is talking about dark energy, the stuff that
purportedly is somehow shaping the universe. Here he expands on the "not nearly as
successful" part of his assessment quoted above:
|
"It's fair to say that the theoretical physics
community is, at least for the time being, entirely baffled when it
comes to dark energy. ..." |
|
An understatement if ever there was one. But then, this is not anything
new. Actually the theoretical physics community has been "entirely
baffled" ever since the adoption of creationism cosmology
—ever since the adoption of a speculation (a far-out hypothesis)
promulgated as science by Georges Lemaître, way back in 1927 & 1929. Take
note, we're not talking about temporary bafflement here. The bafflement
goes way back to the time of Edwin Hubble in the 1920s. (To be fair to Hubble,
he did have the
wisdom to advise caution before jumping to radical unscientific
conclusions.)
The admission is that dark energy, also known as
Lambda, also known as cosmological constant, also known as vacuum energy, is shaping the
universe. BUT how it does the shaping —and even what that shape might be— is
a bafflement! ... It is not known what drives this energy nor what shape it
leads to. At least that is the sad situation in Academic Cosmology.
What about the other half of the puzzle —the dark matter?
|
"As our search has left us with no
known candidate for dark matter, we must turn our attention to the
purely theoretical and ... the branch of mathematics ... "
–Dark Cosmos, p80 |
|
Are dark energy and dark matter related?
|
"Dark energy and matter are, as
far as we [physicists] understand them, completely unrelated
phenomena." –Dark Cosmos, p174 |
|
Dark energy (or Lambda) and material matter are
unrelated?!! ... They shape the universe yet are unrelated?!! ... Folks,
the admission of bafflement could not be any clearer. ... Meanwhile, in
DSSU cosmology the two are intimately linked in true Heraclitian tradition
—involving flux, processes, opposites, and harmony.
Academic Astrophysics/Cosmology seems to suffer from a
strange inbreeding of ideas.
Consider the following remarkable claim, made in his 2006
book, by theoretical physicist Hooper:
|
"The vast majority of cosmologists
are convinced that around 14 billion years ago our Universe was in an
ultra-hot state that expanded over time to eventually become ... the
Big Bang. In fact, I don't believe that I have ever met a cosmologist
who disagreed with this assessment." –Dark Cosmos, p206 |
|
I say this is a remarkable claim because these same people
admit the model is preposterous and they admit their puzzlement. I'm
scratching my head. Something is not right here.
Physicists are baffled by the model they have pieced and
pasted together —their model of the expanding universe. Big Bang for short. Yet
despite the serious and persistent bafflement, they all agree (or so we
keep hearing) on the validity of the Big Bang model!! The academic
colleagues of Dan Hooper, instead of voicing justifiable skepticism,
compliantly vote their support!
Now what kind of scientific methodology are these learned
scientists using? Seems rather irrational, doesn't it? The average thinking
person can't help but conclude that there is something seriously wrong
here.
What we are witnessing in academic astrophysics/cosmology
is conformism to official dogma. Science writer Corey S. Powell calls it "sci/religion"
(and calls its practitioners the "Priests of sci/religion"). Others call it
"mytho-science." I call it (among other things) the inbreeding of
expanding-universe theories. We are witnessing the 80-year-long inbreeding
of theories based on the biggest unscientific extrapolation in the long
history of science. ...
All the serious models of the universe that have been
debated following the introduction of Lemaître's fireball-universe were
based on whole-universe expansion. They included general-relativity
expansion, steady-state expansion, kinematic expansion, inflationary
expansion, negative-pressure expansion, and quintessence expansion, to name
the most popular ones. Cross fertilize any of them and you still end up
with whole-universe expansion! The expanding universe models have
metaphorically reached an evolutionary dead-end.
And what is blatantly obvious in all this is that Modern
Cosmology (more specifically, Academic Cosmology) has simply NOT
investigated the non-expanding universe. It has never explored the
perfectly natural cellular universe!
Giving the last word to Dan Hooper, who despite his
bafflement, expresses hope,
|
"Modern physicists hope ... to
find not only a more complete description of nature, but also a more
complete explanation for it." –Dark Cosmos, p5 |

3. The Cosmology Debate That Never Happened
During the 20th century there was a prolonged
debate between the proponents of the Big Bang hypothesis and those of
the Steady State hypothesis. The debate started in the 1920s with the
misinterpretation of the red-shifted light from distant galaxies and
supposedly ended in the 1990s with the discovery of minute variations
in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
The debate dealt with the profound consequences of
the series of unexpected observations originating with Arizona astronomer Vesto Slipher during
the years 1912 to 1923, and continued with German astronomer Carl Wirtz in 1922, Harlow
Shapley in the 1920s, American Cosmologist Howard Robertson in 1928,
and Edwin Hubble in 1929. The accumulated observations led to the empirical law
that the greater the distance to a galaxy, the greater is the redshift
of its light. Stated another way, the empirical relationship
meant that the apparent recessional speed of a galaxy is proportional
to its distance. Note the position of both sides in the "Debate." Both the Big Bang side and the Steady State
side considered the apparent speed to be a REAL recessional
motion. (But further note: Hubble himself preferred “the alternative
possible interpretation, that red shifts are not velocity shifts,
avoiding [two major expanding-universe] difficulties ... ." [1]
)
We all know which Worldview came out on top.

"[T]he conclusion of the greatest cosmological
debate in history,” according to historian-of-the-Big-Bang, Simon
Singh, came with the discovery, by Penzias and Wilson, of the CMB
radiation, and with the mass-media publicity that followed. The debate
was considered settled when on May 21, 1965, the
New York Times carried the front page story under the banner
headline, SIGNALS IMPLY ‘BIG BANG’ UNIVERSE.[2]
Actually, the debate continued into the 1990s. It
was in 1992 that the COBE satellite discovered variations in the CMB
radiation —variations of 1 part in 100,000— coming from different parts
of the sky. When appropriately interpreted (as indicating tiny
variations in density of the baby big-bang universe), the data "proved"
the superiority of the Big Bang model. Quoting, again, from Simon
Singh's book Big Bang: "At last, the challenge to prove the Big
Bang model was over." [3]
When a debate drags on for that long
... and the outcome hangs by a thread —a thread of evidence, in the
variation of some variable, with a variance as tiny as 1 part in 100,000!— then
credibility suffers. My initial reaction was to suspect that both sides
were wrong.
Now, it does not take an astrophysicist to realize
that the debate-of-the-century was fundamentally between two types of
EXPANDING universe —two types of expanding single-cell universe. The
Big Bang (BB) and the historic Steady State (SS) were not of the same
species, so to speak. But they certainly were of the same genus.
Undeniably, both universes were single cell and both were
expanding. That is, each expanded as a single cosmic unit —even
if infinite in size (as some BB and SS versions claim to be)!
But hold on a minute. The debate went on for
roughly 75 years. A long time. Certainly it was long enough to examine
fundamentally different ideas. Surely, the non-expanding
option would have been proposed and explored.
Surely, there must have been a "great debate"
between the expanding universe and the non-expanding universe.
And what about a "great debate" between the single-cell cosmos
and the multi-cell cosmos? After all, these are concepts of fundamental
and obvious relevance to the historic debate.
Guess what! ... Search your libraries; search the
history of cosmology; search the astrophysics literature. You will come
up empty handed. No such debate has ever taken place!
Ladies and gentlemen, let me make this crystal
clear: what historians call "the greatest cosmological debate in
history” was between TWO expanding universes —two
hypothetical models that share the same, I repeat, the same
foundational property! If one is to claim some great contest of ideas
(let alone the "greatest") then surely there must exist some deep
dividing difference! What —we must ask— is so great about a debate when
both sides agree that the universe is expanding, is
single-celled, and is evolving? [4]
|
The cosmology debate that never happened.
The pioneering "experts", in their haste to construct a mathematical
universe based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, neglected
to make a proper evaluation of the two distinct classes of universe
—the expanding and the non-expanding universe. With the
non-contestation of the expansion-of-the-whole-universe idea,
Academic Cosmology became entangled in a phantasmagoric debate and
devolved into an unnatural esoteric Worldview known as the Big Bang. |
Sad to say, the experts in this field have dropped
the ball —collectively and individually.
The astrophysicists, the cosmologists, and the
theorists of the 20th century were embarrassingly negligent.
Admittedly, these are strong words, but fully justified. Since the
late 1960s and early 1970s, astronomers, including Charlier-de
Vaucouleurs, and most notably Jaan Einasto of Estonia, have
stated over and over that our universe appears to be cellularly
structured! However, in time, astronomers convinced themselves that
without a proper supporting theory the apparent cellularity was merely
an observational phenomenon. Without a "proper theory" this critical
observation was relegated to the status of a mirage, a mere curiosity. ... All I can do is shake my head in
disbelief.
Anyway, the debate that never
happened, the cosmology debate that should have taken place long ago,
the debate that the history books will call the "Great
Debate III",[5] ... at long last,
is now on.
One of the key issues is the multi-cellular
universe as opposed to the single-cell universe (both the BB and historic SS
are single-cell).
When I say "multi-cellular universe" I'm not talking about a
multiverse.
I am not talking about a collection of many separate and isolated
universes each with its own laws of physics —each with its own defining
parameters. No. I am talking about the universe (in the
singular) being divided into subunits with no interaction among such
subunits other than radiation.
A beautiful idea. There is a beautiful idea that Nature has decided
to use, and it does so, on all size-scales. The beautiful idea is
cellular structure. The scales range from the microscopic scale (think
viruses and crystals), through the biological scale (think living
cells), and the planetary scale (think plate tectonics), to the stellar
scale —and even to the cosmic scale!
Nature's cells are not phenomenological. Rather,
they are dynamic and process driven. It is a beautiful idea.
A Failing Cosmology
Although we are repeatedly told that the debate is
over and that the Big Bang reigns supreme, problems remain. In his
book on the Big Bang, Simon Singh, after explaining that the BB
universe "is a strange place indeed" and quite unnatural, wrote the
following:
|
"Completely solving the
remaining mysteries of the Big Bang will require a three-pronged
attack, involving further theoretical developments, laboratory
experiments and, most important of all, even clearer observations
of the cosmos ... and experiments on the lookout for signs of
dark matter." [6]
[emphasis added] |
|
This does not sound like a winning cosmology. To many
impartial observers, It remains a mystery how the BB model actually
connects with reality. Evidently, some theory rethinking is called for
(prong one). More laboratory tests are needed (prong two).
More observations and experiments are needed in the perennial effort to find
that elusive "dark matter" (prong three).
Incidentally, those words, calling for
laboratory experiments, brought a smile and inspired the following
comic strip. It metaphorically illustrates why a penetrating examination
of the Big Bang model would lead to its destruction.
The above cartoon highlights one of the more
serious problems with Standard Cosmology, its insistence on applying
the so-called cosmological principle of homogeneity of the universe.[7]
Just like the balloon is a ball of homogenous air, the early BB was a
ball of homogenous plasma (hot ionized gas). The problem is that in the real universe
homogeneity IS NOT OBSERVED! As already pointed out, it is cosmic
cellular structure that is actually observed. This cell structure is
popularly reported as nodes of rich galaxy clusters and enormous
networks of superclusters.
The BB model demands a high degree of homogeneity; while the
DSSU[8] cellular model requires the inhomogeneity inherent in cosmic
tessellation. The BB model hypothesizes the homogeneity of the Hubble
expansion; while the DSSU model expounds the inhomogeneity of "space"
expansion by including its harmonious opposite, "space" contraction.
That is to say, while the BB insists on the universal expansion of
space, the DSSU insists on regional expansion (and regional
contraction). The issue boils down to: a run-away universe-wide
dynamic model versus a stable regionally-dynamic model. A
BB expanding universe versus a SS non-expanding universe.
If you like a black-and-white view of cosmology, it does not
get any better. As a sharp contrast to the conventional wisdom,
the DSSU has the right stuff for a meaningful debate.
Returning to Singh's earlier comment. He stresses
the importance of finding the mysterious dark matter. Let me make a
light-hearted public appeal: In
the interest of helping a failing cosmology, if you see anything
suspicious, if you come across anything that looks, feels, or smells
like dark matter, there are BB believers who
need your keen observational skills.
Consider the dedication. The dedication of the BB veterans is
truly astonishing. Imagine searching for the dark-matter stuff for over
30 years and finding nothing meaningful! How utterly discouraging! ... They
really do need help.
It is not my purpose in this short essay to
catalogue the problems of Standard Academic Cosmology. I will simply
note that they are many, they are glaring, and they refuse to go away.
David Darling, author of Gravity’s Arc, warns that,
|
"The fall of every great theory is
foreshadowed by some niggling problems or inconsistencies that refuse
to go away." [9] |
|
The one-time assistant to Edwin Hubble and
distinguished astronomer, Dr. Halton Arp, had this to say about the
failing cosmology:
|
"I believe the observational
evidence has become overwhelming, and the Big Bang has in reality been
toppled. There is now a need to communicate the new observations, ...
and the new insights into the workings of the universe —all the
primary obligations of academic science, which has generally tried to
suppress or ignore such dissident information." [10] |
|
He calls the situation a "crisis for the
reasonable members of the profession" of the space sciences; with so
many alternative, even contradictory, versions of the BB model, "many
of them fitting the evidence very badly." Furthermore, he was motivated
to make his own appeal. A sincere outreach. ...
|
"At this point, I believe we
must look for salvation from the non-specialists, amateurs and
interdisciplinary thinkers —those who form judgments on the general
thrust of the evidence, those who are skeptical about any explanation,
particularly official ones ..." [10] |
|
Halton Arp ends the preface of his book with these
prophetic words:
|
"I believe a painfully honest
debate is the only exercise capable of galvanizing meaningful change." [10] |
|
And that "honest debate" with "meaningful change" has its roots in
the cosmology debate that never happened!

4. Has the Higgs Boson Been Discovery?
The Unreported
Problem with the Higgs Boson
In July of 2012 physicists announced the first
definitive evidence of a new high-mass particle claimed to be the long-awaited Higgs boson. After 50 years of searching, the
"Higgs" just had
to be found. The participants in the search had really only two options
available to them: find the damn thing or admit (Oh no!) that the theory is
wrong. Find something that might serve as the Higgs or admit that they, the
elite in this esoteric field, had been pursuing a chimera. Imagine
struggling with this cause-of-mass conundrum for
50 long years! This could easily span a physicist’s entire career. Better to
find the Higgs, no matter what. Find the Higgs, keep face, keep the funds
flowing, and somehow the mathematical theory will be made to work.
After 50 long years of searching,
Physicists claim to have detected the Higgs boson, the ‘particle’ that
ostensibly bestows the property of mass on all other such particles.
Is it now time to celebrate? … Definitely not.
The question now is this: If the Higgs ‘particle’ is
the giver of mass to all other particles, what then gives the Higgs
itself its mass?! (Yes, the newly discovered particle has mass, lots
of it!) A difficult and embarrassing question indeed. It is like
asking: If God created everything, then who or what created God?
While physicists think they have solved the mass problem, the
reality is that they have unwittingly exposed an even bigger problem
—the riddle of “First Cause”.

to advance without it. –CR |
Yes —Oh yes— the mathematics can always be
counted on. It has been said that math describes all possible worlds.
Mathematics, like magic, conjures up all possible cosmologies. Just look at
what creative mathematics has accomplished with the solid, real-world,
evidence of a cosmic redshift of the light from distant galaxies. Here's
what creative mathematics did with some good data, a bad interpretation, and
an ugly extrapolation. Follow me on this. Take these three
ingredients: (1) the cosmic redshift measurements, (2) an wholly unnecessary
interpretation, (3) an extrapolation that is both unscientific and
philosophically unsound. Apply some mathematical magic; then behold the
resulting formulations —the mathematical universes known as the Big Bang
universes (there are already numerous versions not to mention countless more
possible versions). Astrophysicist/cosmologists continually proclaim the Big Bang
to be the truth; the uncritical believers simply believe. Meanwhile,
problems abound, patches concocted, new speculations appended; yet the
current research is to extrapolate even further and formulate multiverses!!!
Multiple simultaneous big bangs, of all things! (But that's another story
—for another time.)
The mathematics has sustained a disastrously
flawed cosmology ever since the 1920s. The same methodology will, no doubt,
work for the Higgs model for mass acquisition.
So, celebrate the new particle, whatever it may
be. Celebrate the security of the CERN funding. Celebrate the postponement
of the day of reckoning of the Higgs model. Give serious thought, however, to a
rather obvious inconsistency. …
The BIG question now is
this: If the Higgs ‘particle’ is the giver of mass to all other particles,
what then gives the Higgs itself its mass?! (Yes, the newly discovered
particle has mass, lots of it!) A difficult and embarrassing question
indeed. It is like asking: if God created everything, then who or what
created God? While physicists think they have solved the
mass problem, the reality is that they have unwittingly exposed an even
bigger problem —the riddle of “First Cause”.
What has been discovered is that there is a fatal
flaw with the Higgs boson.
Why is all this so important to cosmology, the
science of the universe? Why should something, the Higgs, supposedly
residing in the tiny scale of particle physics, be relevant to the Universe,
existing as it does on an unimaginably large scale? …
It is extremely important,
for if you do not understand the cause of the property of mass, the Higgs
being a mathematical concept unconnected to reality, then you will not
understand the cause and mechanism of gravitation; and without the mechanism
of gravitation there is no hope of understanding the intrinsic nature of the
Cosmos —its inherent cellular structure.
The cause of mass, leads to a cause of gravity,
leads to a three-process mechanism of gravity, which in turn leads to the
structure of the universe. This sequitur-sequence of understanding leads to
the elegantly natural Cosmos. It’s called the DSSU —the Dynamic Steady State
Universe.
