Cosmology on Trial: Cracking the Cosmic Code
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle Unlimited, Professional & Technical

Cosmology has too many anomalies 1. The star HD140283 in the constellation Libra is calculated to be 14.46 billion years old. The universe is calculated to be 13.77 billion years old. Astronomers add a margin of error of ±0.8 billion years to the star. That's a spread of 1.6 billion years. Physicists need to update obsolete 20th century paradigms. 2. New data is challenging 20th century theories of General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, Gravitation, the Big Bang. Yet schools continue teaching students obsolete theories. Textbooks ignore the anomalies that Cosmology on Trial examines. Scientific Journals Cite Anomalies 3. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society published the discovery of a ring of nine cataclysmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) five billion light years across. On August 4, 2015, Professor Lajos Balasz announced: “This structure contradicts the current models of the universe.” [the models students are taught] Physicists opine that unknown processes of galaxy formation created the ring structure. 4. Science Daily report: a team of astronomers find a large quasar group (LQG) four billion light years from end to end. Our current science says it shouldn’t exist. Astronomer Roger Clowes: “This is hugely exciting, not least because it runs counter to our current understanding of the scale of the universe.” "Science needs a fresh paradigm to explain the evolution of the cosmos." Problems with the Standard Model of Physics 5. NASA physicists say Dark Matter and Dark Energy comprise 96% of the universe. Both are excluded from the Standard Model, which means 96% of reality is excluded. 6. We interact with gravity constantly, yet gravitation remains a mystery in Newtonian Physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory. Physicists can explain how it behaves, but the nature of gravity remains unknown as well as how it works over vast distances across the universe. Inconsistencies Proliferate Unchecked 7. Particle Physics theorists openly admit they're in a state of confusion. Astrophysics papers, science periodicals, and leading physicists propose updating fundamental principles of physics. “We need to make a clean break and embark on a search for a new kind of theory that can be applied to the whole universe – a theory that avoids the confusions and paradoxes, answers the unanswerable questions, and generates genuine physical predictions for cosmological observations.” Lee Smolin PhD – Bestselling author of Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe Cosmology on Trial discusses the issues that textbooks gloss over. • each disparity is clarified without complex jargon • five cosmological theories lack observational support and data as evidence • three important initiatives are routinely ignored New discoveries overturn what we think we know "Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.
