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!
● The
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.

The Cosmology Debate That Never Happened
What historians call "the greatest cosmological debate in
history” was between TWO expanding universes —two

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 (2011-1)
●
"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
● Why the suppression of free speech is so deadly dangerous:
“When you silence the man of the pen, you
must deal with the man of the sword.” –proverb
● "Free speech is the
essence of Civilization."

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.” –

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 British 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)
In repressive Germany:
Ursula Haverbeck,
89, Sentenced to 14 Months in Jail for Heresy! –2017 November
This amazing 89-year-old woman continues advocating under the dictum: "Only
the truth will set you free”.
Mrs. Haverbeck, along with her late husband, founded the education facility
Collegium Humanum in 1963, but which was banned by the Marxist thought police in
2008.
Update (2018-5-16): Ursula Haverbeck will celebrate her 90th birthday in a
German prison
cell. The sprightly grandmother is now serving a
two-year prison term without parole merely for stating a sincerely
held opinion that is supported by acclaimed academics worldwide!!
“Frau Haverbeck is now sentenced to two years in prison, merely for her
peaceful historical research” –The Barnes Review Vol.24, No.5
(Sept/Oct 2018) p71
UPDATE (2019-11):
On November 9th (2019), the very day of Ursula Haverbeck’s 91st. birthday,
hundreds of German nationalists, patriots and friends, well-wishers and
admirers rallied in her support. Report on the Rally to Celebrate
Political Prisoner Ursula Haverbeck.
Update (2020-12): This 92-year-old peaceful woman has just
been released from jail, having spent 2&1/2 years behind bars, and less than
2 weeks later was in court in Berlin for more charges ... was
again sentenced to prison!!!

The Supreme Irony:
Fellow freedom-lovers and truth-seekers, please pay
close attention. ... Chemist, historian, and author, Germar Rudolf
sums up the persecution in Germany as follows:
“Now I will summarize here the pseudo-logic hiding behind this absurd and
criminal nonsense of persecuting dissidents. This logic of those in power in
[Germany] really amounts to this:
Because in the past minorities have been persecuted, dissidents imprisoned
and books burned, one feels obliged to do everything in order to prevent a
repetition —even if that entails having to persecute minorities, imprison
dissidents and burn books. [Italics as in the original.]
Because that is exactly what is happening today! Absolutely nothing has been
learned from the past. The table is merely turned around, and for a change a
different group is now being persecuted.”

"The universe is endlessly speaking. People ask the
universe the questions they are capable of conceiving and hear the
answers they are capable of hearing."
–Joel Primack & Nancy Abrams
[1] |
|
The Universe is endlessly speaking, forever sending signals.
Among the earliest people who listened and asked questions of
the universe were the Ancient Greeks. In some of the Greek states and Greek
societies, the ones in which men were relatively free, knowledge expanded
and philosophical schools flourished. The Pythagoreans, most eminently,
developed expertise in mathematics, geometry and the numerical aspects of
musical harmony. They advanced these studies into complex theories of
numbers, geometry and music. When the Pythagoreans asked questions of the
universe they were looking for geometric perfection, orderly motion, and
harmony of the heavens. Notably, they believed there was a musical aspect
to the universe. Based partly on their knowledge of the mathematics of
sounds and partly on their studies of the orbital times of the planets, the
Pythagoreans 'heard' the so-called 'music of the spheres' constituting the
universe. The periodic motion of each planet was equated with a musical
note on a musical scale which extended by many octaves. The Pythagorean
universe consisted of transparent spheres, each carrying a planet, and
each rotating with mechanical perfection around the spherical Earth at the
center. There were also spheres for the Moon, the Sun and an outermost
sphere for the fixed stars; these likewise rotated about the Earth. The
Pythagoreans sought harmony, symmetry, and numerical meaning in their
astronomy and to their mystical delight heard the 'music of the spheres' of
the heavens.
Divine Harmony. During the early Christian era there was an emphasis on
divinely ordained order. Men were looking for an unchanging and timeless
world of perfect order. The perfect shape of the circle represented that
order. Motion in the heavenly world must therefore run smoothly and
uniformly in circles; such perfect motion was surely the handiwork of an omnipotent
God. Religious men of this era, like the earlier philosopher Greeks, heard the music and the
harmony of spheres. The music conveyed not only geometric perfection but
also a new theme. Since many of the concentric spheres were equated with
various degrees of divinity, the music, to these listeners, was heavenly
and angelic. The Christians recognized the Divine harmony of the Ptolemaic
system of the world, built up, as it was, of circles. And so, the Ptolemaic
Harmony became the Official Tune. For well over a millennium (for about
fourteen centuries) no one dared change a note. Harmony heresy became
punishable, and deafness to the deeper sounds of the Universe descended.
More "music of the spheres." Many centuries later, and many years after Nicolaus Copernicus rediscovered the ancient
Helicentric theory of Aristarchos of Samos, the famous astronomer Johannes Kepler
(1571-1630), who was also searching for harmony, symmetry, and numerical meaning,
heard the same music. Kepler was looking for some underlying regularity
---some evidence of divine design behind his newly discovered system of
elliptical planetary motion. Science historian Colin Ronan relates how "His
perseverance was rewarded, and in 1618 ... he published his Harmony of the
World. This, to him, was his crowning achievement. He had discovered a
relationship between the velocities of the planets in their elliptical
orbits and musical harmony; he was able to relate the greatest and least
velocities of each planet to the musical scale. This was Kepler's
culminating vision, the apotheosis of the 'music of the spheres' of
Pythagoras and Plato."[2] Fortunately, to the benefit of natural cosmology, Kepler's
mysticism eventually led him to formulate his famous three laws of
planetary motion.
The first sounds of expansion. In the early twentieth century
astronomers were tuning in to a previously unrecognized sound. They found,
to their wonderment, that the Universe was speaking through the
transformation (called redshifting) of light from distant galaxies. The
greater the distance to the galaxy the larger was the transformation
(redshift) of its light. Scientists heard the message loud and clear
---even elevated it to the status of a law, called the Hubble law. The
redshift message had three interpretations. The universe
allows for three options for the cause of the proportional variation of
galaxy redshift, the proportional variation with increasing cosmic distance: (1) a Doppler-like
recession motion, (2) a space-expansion comoving motion, and (3) an unknown
gravity effect that somehow weakens light during its cosmic journey. Under all three options the
universe appears to be expanding ---like moving a magnifying
glass slowly away from a specimen makes the specimen appear to be expanding.
But Scientists 'heard' more than what the actual redshift message contained!
They thought they 'heard' that the universe ---the whole universe--- was
actually expanding. And as every fully conscious person on our planet knows,
they came up with the Expanding universe.
The Expanding-universe paradigm turned out to be a Pandora's Box of
misinterpretations. Surely the most outrageous of these was the primordial explosion
of the universe. To some listeners, the universe was not merely speaking,
it was convulsing and thundering.
As the twentieth century progressed new questions were being posed.
Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966) of Belgium was a trained expert of the heavens, both
astrophysical and theological. Lemaitre was a theologian. When a religious
man contemplates the Universe, his contemplation instinctively includes the
Creator. When a religious man asks questions of the universe his main
concern is: How was it created? And so when such a man listens to the
universe he expects to hear the sound of the Creation, or at least its
theoretical replay. Lemaitre 'heard' the sound of the beginning of the universe and, what is
more, he constructed a supporting argument. He used Einstein's then recently constructed theory
of general relativity, and contemporary astronomical data, to show that the universe in
the past was extremely dense and correspondingly much smaller; he was able
to 'prove' that the universe had a hot big-bang Genesis. Lemaitre devoutly
believed in his Creator. But let me be clear on this, Lemaitre's religious
belief is not subject to criticism; it is his scientific belief that
definitely is. His belief in the applicability of Einstein's theory was
unfortunate and misguided. The
theory of general relativity is a local theory of spacetime; it is a
theory of local gravity; it cannot be a theory of the whole
universe. The dynamic activity of the universe as a whole cannot be
encompassed by one pair of equations. Lemaitre's Big Bang universe
(1927-1929) is based on an unscientific extrapolation.[3]
The fact that the exploding universe was an unscientific extrapolation
was ignored. The chronicles of cosmology do testify to this negligence by the conspicuous
absence of any challenge to the questionable legitimacy of a conclusion drawn from an
overextended theory. Therein lies a gold mine for investigative journalists
and historians.
... Anyway, Albert Einstein had became the undisputed authority on gravity. His
theory of general relativity had established the new rules for astrophysics
and cosmology. Theorists learned those rules, adopted a new way of perceiving
space and the universe, and explored the various implications. Lemaitre, by
running the expanding-universe backward, had 'discovered' the birth of the
universe. The question now was, would the universe continue expanding
forever or would it collapse in on itself?! Although the question should
have focused on validity (general relativity, after all, is an incomplete theory) and
applicability (local, not universal). It didn't. Quite understandable. In
the magic and excitement of exploring a dynamic model that does mysterious
things like distort spacetime and blow itself apart and conceal its
cosmic boundary, reality becomes a secondary consideration. As it happened, most
astronomers assumed that the expansion of the universe would not continue
forever but would gradually slow down because of the inward pull of gravity
of everything in it.[4] The
cosmological constant (an energy
term in Einstein's equation), which could act as an anti-gravity effect,
was believed to be either non-existent or much weaker than gravity. Which
means that with no
meaningful opposition, gravity becomes the dominant force of the universe.
Lo and behold, the world had become a collapsing universe. They called
it the Oscillating universe (also known as the Friedmann-Einstein model).
From our perspective, the scenario represents the audible convulsions of a
universe speaking through a flawed theory.
Some years ago Isaac Asimov assembled the contemporary thinking in
cosmology and came up with a popular work called “The Collapsing
Universe” in which he describes the entire universe becoming a black
hole as it collapses in on itself. Problem was, the real universe refused
to play along and corroborate the theory; the evidence for a collapsing world has never been
found.
Meanwhile, astronomers thought they detected the remnant ripples of a
universe exploding. In the 1960s, with a more detailed theory (although
still based on an unscientific extrapolation) and more sophisticated
listening devices, astronomers 'discovered' what they believed to be the echo of the Big Bang. Astronomers measured a steady flux of microwaves
coming from all directions of the heavens. They called it the cosmic
microwave background radiation (CMBR) and interpreted it as the immensely
weakened noise of the Big Bang event of roughly 15 billion years ago. If I recall
correctly, didn't Bishop James Ussher in the 17th century use the
authoritative writings of the Old Testament to calculate that the universe
began 4004 years before the Christian Era? ... Three centuries after
Bishop Ussher the time-scale was radically revised. The new high priests of
cosmology carefully interpreted the CMR sounds, the echo of Lemaitre’s big
bang, and calculated that the universe began 15 billion years before the
Christian Era! ... And so we see, we understand, what is happening. "The
universe is endlessly speaking" while priests and scholars struggle with
the translation.
The tempo quickens. During the first decade of the 21st century,
most astrophysicists were claiming that the universe was telling them that
cosmic expansion is accelerating!
What sound does an accelerating universe make? We may get some idea
from Harvard Universe
astrophysicist Robert P. Kirshner and Dr. Saul Perlmutter (at the Lawrence
Berkley National Laboratory in California) who have headed respective teams
of experts that have listened to, and have decoded, the message. The
message comes from extremely distant type 1a supernovas. Decoded, it simply
means the supernova events are about 25% dimmer than expected. It means
that the supernova stars are farther away than their redshift would
indicate; it means the message did not agree with the reigning theory. These experts,
never having been exposed to any meaningful alternate models, had little
choice but to turn to the officially approved Expansion cosmology for
answers. They instinctively interpreted the data as the 'sounds' of an
expanding universe in acceleration mode —the sounds of a universe that is
not only expanding but is speeding up its expansion. If only they
had stopped for a moment and consider, maybe the redshift-distance
equation being used is wrong. Maybe the acceleration interpretation is
discordant with reality. But there was no escape from the long-established
conceptual tunnel of cosmic expansion. To put a sensory twist on a familiar
old saying: One hears only what one is trained to hear, what one is
trained to expect to hear.
Rather than concede that there is a serious flaw in the theory, team
members of the supernova investigations expressed reactions of disbelief, "amazement and horror," surprise
that the universe would bother to accelerate itself, and surprise that the
universe would be so extravagant! Team leader Robert Kirshner tells the
whole story —his lavish view of reality— in his book, appropriately
titled, The Extravagant Universe.[5] The "Extravagant" modifier refers to the expanding-and-accelerating
Big-Bang universe. As a modifier it is ironically well chosen. I can think
of no better way to epitomize a universe, one that is based on an
unscientific extrapolation, than to boldly name it Extravagant —a word
that means not only lavish, excessive, and wasteful, but also "beyond the
bounds of reason."
Think about this for a moment. The cosmology experts are using a model
of the universe that notably failed to predict cosmic acceleration, failed
to predict what is now claimed to be
the biggest phenomenon of the Big Bang universe second only to the genesis-explosion
itself. Such failure is a sure sign of a bad theory. Such is the legacy of the Pandorean
Box of expansion extrapolation.
One
can't help but wonder if the professionals really believe what their
paradox-riddled universe is telling them. Do they really believe that our
universe is undergoing runaway expansion (as Donald Goldsmith calls it in
his book The Runaway Universe). Never mind the "abundant evidence", the
multi-decimal place precision, and the colorful computer-simulations
—all presented in support of an evolving universe. Forget the multi-media hype promoting
the new-and-improved Big Bang (yet another version of the Expanding
universe) and
forget the naïve excitement over re-inflation (a fancy term for a
renewed burst of expansion). One wonders. What do
the experts really think? The famous nonagenarian scholar, Freeman J. Dyson
(Professor Emeritus of Physics, Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton
University) around the year 2007 had this to say:
|
"I like to keep an open mind about the accelerating
model of the universe because there is a long history of astronomers
believing confidently in some particular cosmological model and then
changing their minds later. When I was a student fifty years ago,
everyone believed in a closed model that had the universe collapsing
into a big crunch after a finite time. then, twenty years ago, on the
basis of slender evidence, everyone believed in a decelerating model
that had distant galaxies moving away from us more and more slowly as
time went on. Then, ten years ago, on the basis of stronger evidence,
everyone believed in the linear model. And now, on the basis of
evidence collected during the last five years, everyone believes in
the accelerating model. Astronomers have a tendency to follow the
latest fashion. ... I still look at it with a skeptical eye."
[6] |
|
What about the big-bang creation hypothesis and the subsequent
whole-universe evolution idea? ... German astrophysicist Henning Genz found
them to be unpersuasive.
|
"Let me stress that all these models of the development of the universe
from nothing at all ... have to be seen for what they are: models, devoid of compelling experimental verification. The scenarios
we develop from them are possible, and they illustrate various features we
can follow up on, but none is ultimately persuasive." [7] |
|
To say that the standard Big Bang model is not persuasive is to put it
mildly. It is, in no uncertain terms, a preposterous universe! So says the American astrophysicist
Sean Carroll.[8]
|
"This [accelerating big bang] scenario staggers
under the burden of its unnaturalness,"[9] |
|
These are strong words and deserve emphasis: The Big Bang staggers
under the burden of its unnaturalness.
According to the definition of “preposterous” as given in my Webster Dictionary,
Sean Carroll is telling us that the standard
Big Bang model is "Contrary to nature, reason, or common sense; utterly
foolish; absurd." Here is another quote from his research paper, Is Our Universe Natural?:
|
"If any system should be natural, it’s the universe. Nevertheless,
according to the criteria [of reasonable expectation] just described, the universe we observe
seems dramatically unnatural." [10] |
|
Incidentally, Carroll is is permitted to make such highly critical
statements and publish his exposé simply because his faith is undeterred —he remains a strong supporter of the Big Bang.
It never stops. The Universe —the mysterious manifestation of existence— continues to speak. Forever
displaying the same phenomena, transmitting the same radiations,
orchestrating the same processes. Men continue to listen, continue to
filter the Universe's messages through the latest theory or hypothesis. It
seems that as the process of matching messages with mathematical models
becomes increasingly complex, the picture of the universe becomes ever more
preposterous.
At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st there were many theoretical physicists tuned into the
sound of strings. Physicist Brian Greene is one; he has "heard" the vibrations of strings.
In his universe, which he publicizes as the Elegant Universe,[11] he
promotes the reality of vibrating
strings of mathematical string theory (and superstring theory). The fundamental
constituents of his universe are not the point-like particles that are
normally idealized as having no size but, rather, are ultramicroscopic strings and
loops that vibrate like acoustic sources. Depending on the resonant
patterns of vibrations, the strings are supposed to represent elementary
particles and fundamental forces —even mass and charge. The Elegant
Universe, with its unnaturally large number of dimensions (ten dimensions in
the "simple" version!) and without observational results, is a Platonic
universe. It is purely mathematical and without experimental evidence,
wholly in tune with Plato's teaching. Brian Greene's string universe is a
mathematical universe; the cacophony of its strings has yet to be
orchestrated into elegant music, or into anything meaningful.
Greene's Elegant Universe may or may not be mathematically elegant.
Not being a mathematician, I don't know. But I do know that when you invoke
more than three spatial dimensions and a time dimension then you are
speculating in a fantasy world —you've crossed the boundary of reality.
For those who have failed to decipher the messages of the real world, there
is always the temptation to turn to some higher dimensional universe as an
intoxicating escape from reality. For a model or /theory to be called elegant
it must, above all, embody inevitability. The Greene universe is not
inevitable, not natural, not elegant.
There are others —other escapees of Pandora's Box of cosmic
misconceptions. They include the historic Steady State expanding
universe; the Milne universe (in which, strange as it may seem, the
universe expands but space itself does not!); the Cold Inflation universe;
and the Hot Inflation universe. The list continues with the Chaotic
Inflation universe and the cancerous Self-Reproducing universe. The name
"Inflation" refers to the speculative notion that the early Big Bang
universe may have undergone a period of extremely rapid expansion lasting
only a fraction of a second. Instead of just a big bang, the inflation
event turned it into a supersonic bang; or more accurately a hyper-lightspeed
big-bang. There are obvious problems. It relies on a mysterious
inflationary field and a weird antigravity particle called an inflaton,
neither of which has ever been detected.[12] Nevertheless, there
were cosmologists
convinced the universe is speaking the language of inflation. Inflation was
eventually adopted as part of the standard hot big bang cosmology.
The Double Dark universe. During the last few decades another strange
construction crawled out of the Box. It's called the Double Dark
theory of the universe. (I credit Professor Primack for coming up with
this name.[13]) For
many years,
astronomers have been tuning in, reluctantly at first but ever more spiritedly
as the years passed,
to the "sound" of dark stuff —dark energy and dark material. What makes
this model so exciting (or rather preposterous) is that not only does it
have an unknown source of energy but it also requires an invisible (that is
why it's called dark) mysterious kind of matter. Exciting indeed. The Double
Dark theory brings together two unexplained mysteries in a bold and desperate attempt to resolve an even bigger mystery
—that famous
phenomenon "discovered" in the aftermath of the famous cosmology Crisis of
1998.
Let me explain.
Most physicists believe that the biggest unresolved problem facing
Cosmology is the acceleration of Big Bang expansion as discussed
earlier. The Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics in June 2008 stated:
"The fact that our universe seems to be accelerating at present has been
one of the most remarkable and baffling findings of recent cosmological
observations." The usual way of explaining it is with some variation of the
Double Dark theory, that is, by postulating the presence of a Dark Energy
and by invoking Dark Matter in an effort to modify gravity. The Double Dark
theory is just another version of the Big Bang; technically it is called the Lambda
Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) model. I quote from the same Journal, "The ΛCDM model has become the most popular choice, being the
most economical model that is consistent with most cosmological observations, but it is
safe to say that no completely satisfactory or compelling explanation has yet emerged."[14]
And no compelling explanation will
ever emerge from Big Bang cosmology regardless of the specific version. What
makes the Double Dark universe unconvincing, even preposterous, is that a
real phenomenon is being lumped together with a chimeral substance. The so
called Dark Energy is simply the space-expansion effect, which is a long
established fact (it is, in fact, the essential a priori process of
the universe). But Dark Matter is pure speculation. It is not predicted by
any meaningful theory, does not interact with ordinary matter, and, as we are repeatedly told,
has never been
detected. No place, no time, not ever. I would put it this way: If
space-expansion, or vacuum-expansion, is the cornerstone of modern cosmology, then the
mysterious Dark Matter is its Philosopher's Stone. In the real world
Dark Matter does not exist.
Acceleration is an aspect of the pen-and-paper mathematical universe, in
which it is the derivative of the rate of Big Bang coordinate expansion. In the
physical world acceleration is but an illusion.
Unfortunately the acceleration issue is a major detraction from the
really big problems in cosmology.
(1) Standard Cosmology is utterly unable to explain the existing
large-scale non-homogeneity. Textbook writer David Layzer poses the
problem: “Why is the distribution of matter in the Universe so clumpy? In
the beginning, the cosmic medium was certainly gaseous and very nearly
—if not perfectly— uniform. Why hasn’t it remained uniform?”[15] While only
minor clumping is predicted, major clumping is observed!
(2) Standard Cosmology has no cause-independent process. It means
there is an unresolved cause-of-causes paradox.
(3) Standard Cosmology has no causal mechanism for gravity. (The fatal
omission in all cosmology practiced prior to the year 2002.)
The most serious and blatantly obvious of these is the missing causal
mechanism for gravitation. Why is this so serious? Because NO theory of the
universe will work properly without one. Furthermore, a workable cosmos
theory requires a quantum theory of gravity. However, as Professor Primack
points out, a "comprehensive theory of 'quantum gravity', which would
encompass and thus supersede both quantum mechanics and general relativity,
is still a dream of physics. Superstring theory is our current best hope of
such a theory."[16]
All I can say is that we have been hoping and waiting for a very long time.
... Indeed. ... While the world waits, and waits, for the "dream of
physics" to become reality (and the hope of string theory to be fulfilled),
let us do what the experts have long failed to do; let us take a close look
at the Natural Universe.
What do I mean by a 'Natural Universe' ?
Given the fact that the keystone[17] of practically all modern cosmology is the process of the expansion
of space, the Natural Universe necessarily consists of
expanding space; and since it is also a stable
universe it consists of a corresponding degree of contracting space.
Keep in mind that "space", sometimes called the vacuum, refers to the
universal space medium
and is properly called the aether. The terms are all synonymous.
A natural universe has only three spatial
dimensions (and a dimension of non-existence).
A natural universe is not a universe of
things but of processes. Even the attribute called mass is the
manifestation of a process. A natural
universe is a universe in which gravity has a clearly defined causal
mechanism —a mechanism that is, naturally, a process.
The Natural Universe is the one for which
the necessity of logical simplicity leaves no freedom to be otherwise. It
is the universe with only one pattern of self-organization, making it
categorically a Cellular Universe..
The Natural Universe has four
process (or metaphorically four causes). They are represented in the figure below by the
Four Pillars of the DSSU edifice.
|
The Natural Universe has four Postulates —its key processes, its four
metaphorical causes.
They form the four great Pillars of the DSSU edifice and represent,
respectively, aether-space contraction,
aether-space expansion, mass-energy particle formation,
and
Terminal Annihilation of matter. They rest firmly on a foundation
of a discretized space medium (aether) permeating
infinite 3-dimensional space. |
The four Postulates (and the related axioms) and how they perpetually
interact to manifest the natural Dynamic Steady State Universe, and how
they sustain its cosmic cellular structure, are detailed in the following
works:

Three indispensable features. What is presented in
the book and the research article is unlike anything that has ever been published. The reason
I can make this assurance is that all universe models
that have ever been constructed, with this one exception, have left out three essential
components. Countless
philosophers and scientists have attempted to make sense of our
Universe. But none of the scenarios they have constructed, as the foregoing historical
review has argued, has been convincing. None has been free of
paradoxes and logical gaps. The Men of today listening to the Universe
have, for the most part, resigned themselves to the belief that we live in
a Preposterous Universe. They find it embarrassingly difficult to
understand why the universe seems so strange and "dramatically unnatural."
The deeper the search for fundamental understanding extends, the more unnatural
the universe seems to be. Nevertheless, propelled by a relentless
determination, Men continue to listen and interpret. Sadly, the error
of omission also continues. For instance,
Professor Joel Primack, in his search for a deeper meaning to the universe
and our extraordinary place in it, has coauthored a book whose main purpose
is to present what he calls the Meaningful Universe.[18]
And sure enough Primack's Meaningful Universe misses the three essential components: The
causal mechanism of gravity is missing (instead it accepts Einstein's
incomplete theory); the Primary process is missing (Primack fails to
recognize the necessity of a causeless process); intrinsic cosmic cell
structure is missing (cell structure is considered to be merely coincidental to primordial inhomogeneity). Primack's Meaningful Universe is a repackaging of the Preposterous Universe.
The Preposterous Big-Bang Universe, in effect, is made meaningful,
according to Primack, through the
active participation of us, Mankind, by our emotional, intellectual and
cultural involvement. The result may be a cosmos with meaning, but it is
still unnatural! Meanwhile, the new perspective is unique. The Natural
Universe, as detailed in the 2014 book and the summary article, is
unlike any other model or scenario of our Universe —quite so, because it incorporates
the noted essentials into its four Conceptual Pillars.
In the long history of cosmology, during ages of listening to the
Universe, there has never been anything comparable to the Natural Universe ---the
Dynamic Steady State Universe.
