1          INTRODUCTION

This treatise is presented as a short series designed to stimulate new ideas which may answer some of the many conundrums surrounding our knowledge of the Universe. The keyword selection covers the series rather than just this edition, but provides some idea of the overall direction.

In presenting this series I am conscious of advice given to Stephen Hawking:[1]Early in 1983, Hawking first approached Simon Mitton, the editor in charge of astronomy books at Cambridge University Press, with his ideas for a popular book on cosmology. Mitton was doubtful about all the equations in the draft manuscript, which he felt would put off the buyers in airport bookshops that Hawking wished to reach. With some difficulty, he persuaded Hawking to drop all but one equation.[4] The author himself notes in the book’s acknowledgements that he was warned that for every equation in the book, the readership would be halved, hence it includes only a single equation: E = mc2. The book does employ a number of complex models, diagrams, and other illustrations to detail some of the concepts it explores.” I will attempt to follow this advice, but probably not as exclusively as discussed here.

The Big Bang Theory is currently accepted as the most plausible explanation of the start to our Universe. An alternative theory “Steady State” was extensively argued in mid20th century[2], but failed through a lack of supporting evidence. “Big Bang” finally gained wide acceptance throughout the scientific community.

Notwithstanding this general acceptance, there remain some significant problems with this theory including:

  • Galaxies appear to be moving apart, which conflicts with our understanding of gravitational attraction.
  • The start point involves elements of time, mass, and energy which are generally incomprehensible.
  • The concept of “Dark Matter[3] is inferred to explain astronomical sightings of visible matter, but remains a hypothetical construct.
  • Our understanding of gravity, both strong and weak is quite deficient, yet gravity must represent a critical element for understanding any universe evolution theory.

Perhaps it is time to have another look at the Steady State theory with the aid of more recent information, or information presented in a different way.

Other PSI authors have questioned the Big Bang theory, or basic elements of it including recent articles by Raymond HV Gallucci:-

Gravitational Cosmic Redshift with Variable Light Speed

A Possible Anomaly in Galactic Recessional Speed Alleged to Increase with Universal Distance

Who Needs Dark Matter? Is the Galactic Rotation Anomaly an Optical Illusion?

Questioning the Cosmological Doppler Red-Shift

by Robert Beatty:-

GRAVISPHERERS: What’s the matter with Dark Matter? 

This ‘A Constant Universe’ series considers various issues from a ‘back to basics’ aspect, and attempts to answer, or provide alternative explanations for some of the unknowns along the way. The broad finding is that our universe is in a state of continuous cycling between various forms of energy and mass.

We start with a general understanding of the Big Bang Theory.

2          THE BIG BANG THEORY

Figure 1 Universe Background RadiationThe Big Bang Theory is based on the apparent fact that galaxies appear to be moving away from each other at mind numbing speeds, based on the Doppler shift of radiation frequency and known as “Hubble’s Law”.

Therefore by reversing the process, constellations must have logically originated at a point in space as a very compact mass. This became unstable, and exploded in a Big Bang event – the evidence for which is still visible in the universe today as background radiation, shown at (Figure 1.)[4]

This reminds me of standing at a conveyor loading point and watching the conveyor belt continuously moving away (Figure 2.)

Figure 2 Overland Conveyor Now let’s assume there are four such conveyors starting from this point, each one travelling to one of four points on the compass. An uninitiated observer stationed at the centre may draw the conclusion that they were standing where an infinite quantity of conveyor belt rubber forms, moving out along the various conveyors routes and forever getting further and further away. A version of a conveying ‘Big Bang’ theory.

We are assuming here that our observer is not familiar with a conveyor operation and is not aware that there is also a return belt which is out of sight.

3          THE UBIQUITOUS BLACK HOLE

Notwithstanding recent PSI publications regarding the Electric Universe Theory,[5] it seems EU theory has yet to reach a stage of general acceptance, and this treatise will assume the common view of a Black Hole operation which involves digestion and reallocation of incoming mass.

Figure 3 Hubble Telescope Image

Black Holes seem to be a well-accepted part of cosmology, even though studying them is difficult because they are seen by inference rather than directly. The most notable evidence is the motion of dust and stars near a Black Hole, which circle ever closer before disappearing into what is evidently a region of very high gravitational force.

There is also a big difference in the size of Black Holes, with the largest ones appearing to be in the centre of some galaxies.

Other evidence for Black Holes includes an occasional mega beam of light which seems to originate from the poles of a Black Hole, as seen through the Hubble telescope (Figure 3.)

Of particular interest in ‘A Constant Universe’ is the binary star system 1A 0620-00 which is a binary star system in the constellation of Monoceros.[6]A0620-00 consists of two objects. The first object is a K-type main-sequence star with a spectral type of K5 V.[2] The second object cannot be seen, but based on its calculated mass of 6.6 M,[2] it is too massive to be a neutron star and must therefore be a stellar-mass black hole.[4] At a distance of about roughly 3,300 light-years (1,000 parsecs) away, this would make A0620-00 the nearest black hole to the Solar System.

This black hole (now referred to as V616) is particularly interesting because the twin start associated with it is visible and orbiting in a fashion which indicates it is being influenced by a very strong associated gravitational force.

Interim Conclusion:

  • If the constellations are moving apart at whatever speed, and are simultaneously being replaced by some mass derived from energy, this could provide another explanation for the evolution of the universe, which does not involve a big bang explanation.
  • The evidence for the existence of black holes is strong given the apparent gravitational effects and the Hubble discovery of issuing rays coming from black hole regions.
  • It is apparent that the force of gravity varies widely throughout the universe.
  • V616 is likely to be involved if black holes have any influence on our solar system.

In Section Two we will look at how warped is space/time, colliding particles, and Newton’s law of universal gravitation.

    I love the picture at: 3 THE UBIQUITOUS BLACK HOLE.

    Imagine an explosion, a firework, or sparks flying from an electrical discharge. Imagine a single spark flying through the air(space), giving off smoke along it´s path. Wouldn´t it look exactly like that?

    What if, everything in the universe travels with the speed of light, each body relative to each other, as a result of an initial detonation. Like how we shoot fireworks into the sky which explodes in formation similar to galaxies. Wouldn´t a single glowing spark look exactly like that?

    The energy of masses would relate to each other as mc^2. Right?

      You have a vivid imagination. In section two imagination is required to see how warped space-time can get.

    Difficult variables and equations arise, and scientific advances over the centuries have been made, when men realize that earth (we) are not at the center of the universe. Using the overland conveyor analogy for example, how is the ‘red shift’ phenomenon work out if one were riding one of the conveyors relative to others riding the same conveyor as opposed to those riding one of the three others? Just pondering.

    Thanks for your comment Dave.
    I figure that seeing redshift is associated with longer wavelengths stretched out due to velocity differences between viewpoints. People on the same conveyor would not see any velocity differences, so no redshift. People on the other conveyors would see a redshift proportionate to the size of the vector difference in viewing distance. The person on the directly opposing conveyor would see the most redshift.

    Yes, I favour the changing speed of light, but this is not a cause, it must be the effect from the increasing rate of time. “The speed of light IS the speed of time” after all. Hubble’s constant has units of inverse seconds and this is a glaring clue as to the real causality of cosmic red shift. It is the increasing of the rate of time over the eons. To assume it shows the expansion of space without exploring the temporal alternative is frankly, unscientific and Hubble was remiss in his assumption.

      Ken, The Hubble constant includes units of velocity, which as you point out, includes a time factor associated with distance. The Gravispheres report suggests that time variations are associated in an inverse relationship with gravity.
      This should leave the Hubble Constant unaffected – unless gravity is also an unexplored factor in that constant?
