The Big Bang didn't happen
iai News ^ | August 11, 2022 | Eric J. Lerner

To everyone who sees them, the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images of the cosmos are beautifully awe-inspiring. But to most professional astronomers and cosmologists, they are also extremely surprising—not at all what was predicted by theory. In the flood of technical astronomical papers published online since July 12, the authors report again and again that the images show surprisingly many galaxies, galaxies that are surprisingly smooth, surprisingly small and surprisingly old. Lots of surprises, and not necessarily pleasant ones. One paper’s title begins with the candid exclamation: “Panic!”

Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? And what theory’s predictions are they contradicting? The papers don’t actually say. The truth that these papers don’t report is that the hypothesis that the JWST’s images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis that the universe began 14 billion years ago in an incredibly hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. Since that hypothesis has been defended for decades as unquestionable truth by the vast majority of cosmological theorists, the new data is causing these theorists to panic. “Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning,” says Alison Kirkpatrick, an astronomer at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, “and wondering if everything I’ve done is wrong.”

What !?

You mean,,,

Nothing

didn’t explode

and create

Everything ?

You don’t say.

More like the “big oscillation”.

If you really want to get astronomers and physicists upset just ask them what existed before the Big Bang. The answer was, is, and always will be “I don’t know.” The Universe is infinite.

BINGO!!
Instead of the big bang, Heim talks about the ‘big leap’. After all, the expansion of the metron with concurrent surface splits happens in quantum leaps in an initially absolutely empty universe, and that by means of the enlargement of the space diameter by one length quantum per time quantum.

In Einstein’s general theory of relativity, in contrast, the big bang, as proved by Stephen Hawking, is a necessity. Because in the field equations – as we have already seen – the geometry of space is only defined when a density of energy or matter is present. Thus, at the beginning of the world all matter of space would have had to exist compressed in a volume smaller than a pinhead. What matter geometrically means and how it was created, however, cannot be stated.

In Heim’s theory, however, there is only the dynamics of a pure geometry. Its state equations don’t contain any phenomenological quantities anymore. The thing we call matter appears in the universe only much later (approximately 10 to the power 100 years later), and then not in one single explosion, but, put figuratively, almost concurrently “as a kind of firework” all over the universe as soon as the number of area quanta is big enough and their areas small enough (as soon as it has about double the value of today’s area element), so that the broken symmetry of the Poincaré group and the creation of matter can come about. That happened only about 14 to 20 billion years ago.

Matter entered space in the form of quanta of the Planck masses, i.e. about 10-5 grams, and accumulated in quasars. The cosmologic background radiation is explained in the same way as in the modern Quasi Steady State Theory, and not as the residual radiation of a big bang.

Would a pic of Andy Gump do?

Interestingly the supposed cosmic background radiation claims are very likely bogus. The signal to nose ratio, if you care to look into it, is so small that the that graphic they love to post everywhere cannot be replicated. It was derived by a lot of manipulation of the data to get a preconcieved result.

I always thought it was a dumb theory. This big mass explodes. What happened before that? Who made the mass? What existed around the giant mass? Around that? Did the universe we know displace something else?

Belief in a “Big Bang” and the necessary zillions of random-chance events occurring in exactly the right sequence at exactly the right time requires much more religious faith than belief in a God that created everything.

Eternal inflation caused by “dark energy” spreading spacetime out while quantum particle fluctuations virtual particle pairs help regenerate the hydrogen gas between galaxies.

So basically steady state model was correct but the mechanism behind it was poorly understood.

I’m thinking of that Firesign Theatre album “Everything You Know is Wrong”.

Thats why it was called the Big Bang Theory.

Why do the JWST’s images inspire panic among cosmologists? And what theory’s predictions are they contradicting? The papers don’t actually say. The truth that these papers don’t report is that the hypothesis that the JWST’s images are blatantly and repeatedly contradicting is the Big Bang Hypothesis that the universe began 14 billion years ago in an incredibly hot, dense state...

This is the very purpose of scientific experiment; to test theories; to test our very understanding of the universe. To keep checking; to keep looking for observations that appear to contradict those theories. And ideally, when a current theory “breaks” a better theory will explain the observation. It’s how we learn, if our minds are actually open to learning and not to hanging onto pet theories for the sole purpose of the next fat grant.

Thanks again for not stealing this material.
Keep up the good work.
