Fourier analysis of the large scale spatial
distribution
of galaxies in the universe |
Fourier analysis on the redshift data from both SDSS and
the 2dF GRS indicate that galaxies and quasars have
preferred and periodic redshifts with strong agreement
from 2dF GRS Application of the Hubble law results in
galaxies preferentially located on concentric shells
with periodic spacings. And similar but much larger
periodic spacings were found in the quasar redshifts. |

Does the Mandelbrot Set offer Clues to the Cosmological
Evolution of Form? |
The Mandelbrot Set is one of the most complex
mathematical objects, and its diverse array of beautiful
forms is a diversion for many.
It may also be a cosmological roadmap that
reveals the entire progression of cosmic form, from the
Planck epoch to the fate of the universe.
The evolution of Spiral Galaxies is specifically
examined. |

Survey of Evidence for Top-Down versus Bottom-Up
Evolution of Structure on Various Scales |
The Big Bang theory favors a bottom-up evolution yet
observational evidence suggests a top-down evolution of
various structures in the visible universe. A survey of
various structures on the scales of superclusters,
clusters, galaxies and stars will examine evidence for
and against both views. An alternative interpretation of
redshifts shows a crack in the Big Bang theory in this
context. |

A Review of Anomalous Redshift Data |
The comparison of galactic redshifts with distances
arrived at by other means within the local group has
yielded a useable curve to an acceptable confidence
level, and the assumption of scale invariance allows the
adoption of redshift as a standard calibration of
cosmological distance. However, there are several fields
of study in observational astronomy that consistently
give apparently anomalous results from ever-larger
statistical samples, and would thus seem to require
further careful investigation. This paper presents a
review summary of recent independent work. |
