13 Puzzles

Recently, an article was posted in the times relaying the 13 most puzzling scientific conundrums of our time. With them we can see the biasness of modern cosmology affects every one of them. They are asking questions without knowing the circumstances and are unwilling to bend their theories from the "perfect principles" they laid out that the universe must be.

Nothing will ever change if you are not willing to change your theory.

The first one alone makes an Plasma Cosmologist simply laugh.

"We can only account for 4 per cent of the cosmos

If you’re wondering what the LHC might do for you, how’s this: it might just find a whole quarter of the universe."

Or

"Destabilising our view of the universe

A decade ago, we discovered that the fundamental constants of physics might not be so constant after all."

This is the problem: Gravity is the only force holding the universe together, and if we find variances, then we need to add matter to make up the difference. Matter we cannot see, but this Dark Matter MUST be there. This is, to a scientist, saying:

"The magician pulled a rabbit out of his hat, and the rabbit was not there before, so the magician can teleport matter with his mind."

Seriously.

Our Self Importance

Recently, Scientists are coming to the conclusion that they alone are lucky enough to know the universe. Those that came before us were too primative and we may not be able to see the wonderous universe for what it is, those after us, apparently, will never know.

Obviously the Big Bang Paradigm is in trouble if they can predict its own defunctness.

The authors go on to ponder what this means in terms of the anthropic principle: the idea that we exist in a universe that's got conditions favorable to life largely because anything else would preclude any life arising that could ponder the universe. They suggest that there's another layer of complexity on top of that, namely that we only recognize that there is an anthropic principle because we came along at the right time. Too much earlier, and we wouldn't be able to detect that the universe is in a new inflationary era, which tells us that it's dominated by dark energy. Too much later, and we wouldn't be able to know that there's a universe at all. As the authors put it, "we live in a very special time in the evolution of the universe: the time at which we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time in the evolution of the universe!"

How faith based has cosmology become that no matter what evidence, what science and what questions are brought out against it, Cosmologists only see the same thing, invisible matter and forces where only electromagnetism is required.

The course, is hammered out ahead, unchanging and completely erroneous.

... An Understatement?

A report on the expansion of the Universe has cause me humour. Due to the hubris of the claims that are being made, I find only the possibility that we could be so arrogant to make the claim (then add the only truth and wisdom in the whole piece, just at the end) to be an embarrassment of science.

Now, physicists Lawrence Krauss from Case Western Reserve University and Robert J. Scherrer from Vanderbilt University predict that trillions of years into the future, the information that currently allows us to understand how the universe expands will have disappeared over the visible horizon. What remains will be "an island universe" made from the Milky Way and its nearby galactic Local Group neighbors in an overwhelmingly dark void.

How can this largely filimentary structure, which is shown to be in constant evolution possibly fly apart? When have we ever seen evidence of this?

What appears almost as a story from science fiction, the cosmologists began to envision a universe based on "what ifs." Long after the demise of the solar system, it will be up to future physicists that arise from planets in other solar systems to fathom and unravel the mysteries of the system’s origins from their isolated universes dominated by dark energy.

"We live in a special time in the evolution of the universe," stated the researchers, somewhat humorously: "The only time at which we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time in the evolution of the universe."

Accurately the skepticism of the writer shows through. This is a story, made up of incorrect assumptions and 'what ifs', the evidence of this is minimal. The ego of the scientist, sure of their assumptions, shows through, however.

Krauss closed with a comment that he suggested is implicit in the paper’s conclusions. "We may feel smug in that we can detect a host of things future civilizations will not know about, but by the same token, this suggests we wonder about what important aspects of the universe we ourselves may be missing. Thus, our results suggest a kind of a ‘cosmic humility’".

Maybe you are missing something. That something is electricity. From Thunderbolts.info:

The Big Bang, which fails to take the electrical properties of plasma into account, assumes that redshift must be an indicator of distance. As a result, it projects the high-redshift filaments and arcs far into the background. In order to account for the association of these features with foreground galaxies, gravitational lensing must be invoked to “explain away” the number of features as multiple images of only one “distant” QSO. But even this subterfuge is in vain: The number of the allegedly distant objects should, on the astronomers' assumptions, increase with faintness, but observed numbers actually decrease.

The Thunderbolt Cometh

Recently the discoveries of David Talbott and others are finally garnering the recognition they deserve. I am happy to direct people who are often unable to locate material themselves to places where they would be able to see information on the Plasma Universe and of course all the paradigm shifting that it entails.

Cosmology Quest, Part 1 , Part 2 , published a documentary on the shifting paradigm in cosmology and the tenuous 'epicycles' on which our prima-facia version of the universe rests on. This show breaks down the finer points of the Big Bang's cascade of recent assumptions and shows, with credibility, that the big bang is not following reason, but faith.

Thunderbolts of the Gods, The Tutorial , is an eyeopening one hour video that explores the impact of paradigm on the sciences. It explores a variety of topics which are now different in light of the new material. Seemingly incongrous facts from around the world suddenly make sense for the first time under a new and rationally scientific approach.
