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

LCDM cosmology: its bright and dark sides |
The key milestone achievements of LCDM cosmology will be
summarized with the intention of critically assessing
whether they can be defended against the prolific number
of unverified or unverifiable assumptions made.
Important new observations that can clinch the
model with current technology will be described. |

Hydrogen cloud separation as direct evidence of the
dynamics of the Universe |
The average separation of Hydrogen clouds is determined
as a function of time in order to give direct evidence
to distinguish between static and expanding models of
the Universe. |

Tolman surface brightness test from z=0.03 to z=5.7 |
We perform the Tolman surface-brightness test for the
expansion of the universe using a large UV dataset of
disk galaxies in a wide range of redshifts (from 0.03 to
5.7). We compared the data
to the
predictions of the concordance-cosmology,
expanding-universe model
and to those of a simple, Euclidean non-expanding
model where the distance is given by d=cz/H0.
The data is completely inconsistent
at a 12 sigmalevel with the LCDM expanding
universe model, using the widely-accepted predicted
evolution of galaxy size (R= r0/ H (z)). . By contrast,
the data are consistent at a 7 % level with the
prediction of the non-expanding model. |

Supernova 2006gy and the Copernicus Principle: Modern
Cosmology Meets Goliath |
By applying rational interpretations of the Copernicus
principle and acknowledging that selection effects known
broadly as Malmquist bias should favor the observation
of more luminous events with increasing distance, we
demonstrate that reasonable interpretations of supernova
light-curves includes the possibility that there is no
evidence of time dilation in the supernova events we
observe at cosmological distances. |

Search for time dilation in quasar light curves |
This paper describes a search for time dilation in
quasar light curves using Fourier power spectrum
analysis.
The results appear to show that time dilation is not
present in the characteristic timescale of variation of
the quasars.
Possible explanations for this are discussed. |
