It seems to me that the Standard FRW Model has an Achilles foot of clay -- namely, the whole edifice is founded upon the so-called flat universe, i.e. the flat...

As I read in the press, we have found a great percentage of dark matter. Astronomers have suceeded in seeing the shadows of filaments in the light of the CMB....

At the Texas Meeting of the AAS this month it was announced that: 1. Nearly every star has one or more planets. Exoplanets/stars ~ 1.6/1 2. Double-star...

I have decided to take two hours away from dead island and do something equally productive with my time: test the numerology of Robert Oldershaw. Exhibit...

I have noticed something that I think is quite interesting concerning the Global Surface Dipole B Fields of stars that have measurable B fields. White Dwarf:...

There are now new observations independent from the Ia-supernovae luminosities supporting the concept of an accelerated expamsion of our universe. Wouldn't...

A smooth distribution corresponds to high entropy and a lumpy one to low entropy if gravity is not involved. For example, air in a room has high entropy,...

There are two ways to image the CMB radiation: As two circles or combined as an ellipse. M Tagmark in 2003 used the circle appoarch in the BBC article. In...

Some spiral galaxies, such as*Andromeda and Milky Way, are barred. So what is the matter*distribution of such barred galaxies towards the hub, especially...

I'd like to discuss if an infinitely old, infinitely large universe could have a finite energy density, IOW's a finite radiation flux at every point. Just for...
