dark energy

    The universe may be a billion years younger than we thought.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/amp/ncna1005541 It turns out that there's a "relatively easy" way to reconcile the two Hubble constant figures, but unfortunately the "fix" for the Hubble constant problem also highlights the redundant nature of the LCDM "dark energy" claim...

    Dark energy is based on a dubious assumption.

    Would astronomers be comfortable without ever confirming dark matter/energy in the lab?

    It seems to me that the results from LHC haven't been particularly kind to various DM theories, SUSY theory, and WIMP theory in particular. I remember discussing this topic a decade or so ago when astronomers were very much looking forward to the opportunity to verify DM at LHC, and...

    What would cause you to rethink your position on "big bang" theory?

    Recent observations of massive quasars and mature galaxies at high redshift have made me wonder if there are any specific observations that would cause proponents of the big bang model to chose to "lack belief" in that particular cosmology model? The basic cause/effect claims of the LCDM model...

    The LCDM model of cosmology fails another important test

    Dark Energy Gets Weirder: Mysterious Force May Vary Over Time For the second time in as many decades, the LCDM interpretation of photon redshift as being related to (caused by) expansion has failed a second major test of that concept. The original big bang model predicted that the universe...

    Why Actual World needs Virtual Reality?

    Matter bends space and therefore bodies fall. So why do bodies fall in a glass flask from which air is pumped out? It is obvious that the space in this place has curvature, even in the absence of matter. Here we come to the concept of Dark Matter: it is a curvature of space in the absence of...

    On locality and non-locality and other ideas of PhD mind

    My CV is proven below, in the thread. Why nihilists (like the false atheists) deny my ownership of the CV? Do not nihilate my CV. My CV is fact from history. Nihilism is defined as deathstyle cached by the sentence: "There is no Absolute Truth, no Verity." The Nihilism is formulated by...

    The great void in the heart of the 'dark energy' hypothesis.

    Aside from the obvious fact that space hasn't ever been shown to "expand", let alone "accelerate, it would appear that there is a great void in the heart of dark energy theory. A few years back some authors wrote a paper that suggested that the concept of acceleration (and dark energy) could be...
