How can you explain that only 800 million years after the supposed big bang an old, quiscent galaxy exists? How about efficient star formation. Gas collapses, fragments, further collapses, fragments more, each fragment forming stars in one fell swoop. We see starburst galaxies in the UDF and other surveys. Efficient conversion of matter into stars would result in massive stars forming in time periods of 10s of 1000s of years, and moderate mass stars forming in 100s of 1000s of years, reaching maturity in time periods well less than the 800 million or so years mentioned in the article. This is one working hypothesis for elliptical galaxies, for example, where efficient star formation accounts for the paucity of gas and dust seen within them.

* jacob navia:
800 million years is NOTHING at this scales. Our own galaxy makes only 3 turns in that time. That is a good point. 3 turns gives a good way to visualize the process. How fast can matter accrete into a galaxy, and how much matter was presumably around for that according to BB theory? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Well, I could have left Greg Neill's thrashing of your ideas in the post, but thought it redundant. I am honest enough to tell here the motivations behind my reject of that theory.

You will not tell the motivations for believing in a theory that is increasingly being rejected by scientists all over the world. Interesting, because a discussion of cosmology by an active group at the University of Chicago a couple of years ago found no incompatibilities with the current premise. The details remain ever changing in light of new discoveries, but nothing would indicate in my discussions with them a rejection of the basic premise behind the Big Bang. It would seem far more likely you don't understand that premise, reject it on theological rather than physics grounds, and blindly accept any alternative because it suits your preconceived notions of it. |

Can you provide references to any of the above? (Press releases don't count.) A large population of ’Lyman-break’ galaxies in a protocluster at redshift z=4.1 http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/astro-p...01/0401034.pdf Press release that doesn't count because (whatever) http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=...2-084108-8564r Another interesting observation that I forgot to mention above is that our galaxy has the same age as the universe, according to the BB theory: 13.7 billion years. http://www.eso.org/outreach/press-re.../pr-20-04.html Of course press releases do not count, even if they are issued by such a prestigiuous institution like the VLT. Here is the scientific paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/?0407524 And why, exactly, is number 1 or number 2 a problem? There is ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM AT ALL. A CLUSTER of galaxies forms in 1.600 million years, no problem. Our galaxy takes 250 million years to make a single turn. In that time (1 600 million years) it makes around seven turns only. A single interaction between two giant galaxies like our own and Andromeda takes around 4 000 million years to happen. And that is a single galaxy collision. Interactions between single galaxies go at least for 1 billion years... And a CLUSTER of galaxies forms in only 1600 million years. Imagine, we are not speaking about just a collision but an INTERACTION where the galaxies have to come together and GROUP in a huge cluster, that looks very similar to our own cluster (Virgo) by the way. And you see NO PROBLEM. OK. Then, go ahead. There is NO PROBLEM AT ALL. Your sight is deeply affected by bigbanitis: There is no blinder person as the one that doesn't want to see. As to the last, why do you think a change in nuclear reaction rates changes stellar ages? Because if those reactions take longer, a star, fueled by those reactions is then older than we thought. We had a thread on that very subject not long ago. Stellar ages are controlled by luminosity, which has very weak dependence on nuclear reaction rates. Interesting. I thought that were precisely those reactions that fuel the star giving its luminosity... but OK. You will not tell the motivations for believing in a theory that is increasingly being rejected by scientists all over the world. Can you name even one scientist who formerly accepted but now rejects the Big Bang? There is no alternative to the BB. That is why nobody dares to speak openly against it. Besides, anyone speaking against the BB is treated as a crook, not a scientist, and banned from all research. See what happened to Halton Arp. |

Gentlemen,
With all due regards, I wish to bring to your attention: Cosmology has the origins through Vedas. The Big-Bang theory has many contradictions.Let us accept in-adequacies as part of Scientific RESEARCH. The time scales projections through Vedas mention: 10^14 years and even 10^17 Years. The solar Galactic plane is only 10^9 scale. A lot more research helps to resolve COSMOLOGY CRISIS. Science needs to advance in UNIFICATION: 1.SOURCE 2 Fields 3 Flows and 4. Reflectors as concepts to integrate Cosmic Functions that constitute PRIME SOURCE WELCOME TO SUPPORT:EAST-WEST interaction COSMOLOGY FOR WORLD PEACE |

Let's face it then: The UNIVERSE in all its immensity is beyond our powers of comprehension and observation. We can only try to understand the small part of it that we can see. The universe is indeed beyond our powers of comprehension and should be expected to be so. Most of us can comprehend that much. But that's about where it all ends. This excerpt from http://www.ozemail.com.au/~mkeon/the1-1a.html provides an alternative universe to the big bang universe that can only make sense if one keeps VERY firmly fixed in mind that the universe is going to be incomprehendable from where we fit into it's framework. Why (in hell) should it be otherwise? ---------------- The concept is based on a universe which has evolved as a consequence of a very simple origin. Apart from postulating that origin, no postulates at all are required. Changes to the interpretation of some experimental evidence are necessary to align with the predictions of the concept, but it passes every test. Apparently, from the one simple postulate describing the origin, every detail of the entire universe is expected to be explained. Never before have such unbounded parameters been placed on a postulate. But not to worry, it's well up to the task. But do try to realize that I too am having a hell of a time understanding the consequences of the proposed origin. I tend to waffle on in some areas because I'm still trying to explain the thing to myself. I can't always get it right and that should be expected. I'm not the Oracle. Anyway, try testing some of your own thoughts if you don't like mine. The basis of the concept is that the universe has evolved from an origin of absolutely nothing. No time, no dimension, no energy-matter. It has evolved from absolute non existence. Every attempt at trying to comprehend the pre-universe always breaks down because there is absolutely nothing to comprehend. But trying to comprehend infinite dimension is no less of a challenge. From an origin of non existence, by default, an eternity has elapsed just to start time moving from the stationary time rate of non existence. The universe, right from the very origin, was always of infinite proportions because of the always infinite distance to the zero origin. From this almost incomprehendable origin, in order to create the very first infinitesimally minor signs of existence, there would need to have been some offset in the nothingness, and everything in the universe, including the (always relative) dimension of the universe itself, has developed around this disturbance over an eternity. Whatever the cause of the initial disturbance it cannot possibly be explained, but because of its infinitesimally minor origin it is infinitely more logical than the eternally existing "stuff" required by The Big Bang Theory. If an offset to non existence (the zero "state") was a single value, whatever this value, it had to be created and balanced about zero, so the elastic reaction surrounding its creation should draw the value back to zero. But there are two components involved which both attract toward each other, creating an attraction dipole. The attraction to one end of the dipole draws a positive tension from zero, while the other end draws a negative tension from zero. Each side is drawing from the zero "state" in opposite directions, drawing toward each other. However, they should still return back to non existence because it would be expected that they be created in circumstances which would provide a combined result of zero. But if the attraction toward each opposite is exactly equal to the attraction back to non existence, the pair will remain balanced between the two opposing directions of attraction. The false attraction direction initially creates, and then maintains the pair in a state of existence above the zero "state". The zero origin universe is built entirely on stresses that distort the symmetry of absolutely nothing. Each stress character is necessarily the absolute opposite of its counterpart and necessarily point sized (from our perspective). Each is the origin of its own dimension, in the present. The only possible candidates for this role are obviously electrons and positrons. They fill the roll with amazing precision. But I can't attach the label of electron or positron to either stress character because I have no idea which is which. The positive stresses chase the negative stresses, while the negative stresses chase the positive stresses, forever chasing each other's tail in an endless loop. The positive stress characters are drawn into the realm of the negative stress characters and vise versa. The STATIONARY past is left behind as each component eternally pursues its counterpart. The present is the moving component in the system. Because our existence is set from this moving base the present appears to be stationary, while the past retreats at light speed. This is what we are compelled to perceive. Any alteration to the relationship between the stress characters will be recorded and left behind in the past as the present advances onward toward future destinations. The rate at which the past retreats from the present is determined by the attraction rate between the stresses, and that sets the speed of light (existence rate), which is infinitely variable. The negative dimension is extremely difficult to comprehend from a viewpoint in the positive dimension because all relativity surrounding the negative stresses is necessarily the reverse of that surrounding the positive stresses. If the positive stress character is the point sized origin of its created dimension, the negative stress character is the infinite sized origin of its created dimension. Both are equally, absolutely, removed from the past dimension that they each leave behind in their wake. To enable each negative stress character to contain all else within its boundary the negative dimension must be seen in reverse from the positive dimension. This is a feasible argument because one would not expect to see a negative value from a positive viewpoint as would be seen from a negative viewpoint, which is why the stress attraction direction is false. The whole of the positive dimension, which will also be reversed relative to a viewpoint from the negative dimension, can be engulfed by each negative stress character in the negated dimension. Both dimensions can be seen as one from a positive or a negative viewpoint. The advancing front of the positive dimension is zero dimension, from which the negative dimension begins. The negated value of the negative dimension seen through the window from the positive dimension will expand back into the positive dimension. The pasts in each dimension will be left to expand in apparently the same direction, running side by side. Thus a negative existence becomes an integral part of our existence, in the positive. The positive and negative dimensions are exact mirrors of each other. Every change that occurs in one will equally and oppositely occur in the other, but will only be perceived from the positive dimension (for whatever reason). Each person is the focal point of the universe. I am the focal point from my viewpoint just as you are the focal point from your viewpoint. Every instant of the present from each of us is recorded in the stationary past, and this recording will pass through all else in time. Clearly, you are in my future by the same margin that I am in your future, and you are also in my past by the same margin that I am in your past. Because I remain in a reasonably constant time-distance relationship with you, I am advancing toward you at the same rate that you are retreating from me, and you are advancing toward me at the same rate that I am retreating from you. The dual dimension is clearly evident. An approaching beam of light is traveling simultaneously through your past and through your future. You see it when it arrives in your present. Its origin was just as much in your past as it was in your future. Recapping: A stress character only exists in the present at the point of balance between its past and future. Relative to the positive stress character, the past constantly expands away in a positive dimension because the stress character is continuously advancing into a negative void in pursuit of its counterpart, while always maintaining its present status as the origin of its own dimension. For the negative stress character, the past is left behind in a negative dimension within the continuously updated present status of the negative stress character as it advances into a positive void in pursuit of its counterpart. Opposite stresses are drawn in opposite directions from zero while drawing toward each other in the apparent direction that will provide a complete association that will totally annul each stress character. The attraction between the stresses continues indefinitely because it's acting around a closed loop. Each stress, seen from the viewpoint of the opposite stress, causes false directions of attraction. Each attraction direction is the negative of the apparent. Our perception of the universe is based entirely in the positive dimension, where zero is the base of dimension throughout the universe. However, the negative dimension is just as much a part of our reality as the positive dimension, but we cannot visualize or comprehend its existence. The base (origin of dimension) of the negative dimension is infinity, with everything extending into dimension within that base. Zero is the incomprehendable distance in that realm. The negative dimension is the absolute opposite of the positive dimension. Evidence of the existence of the negative dimension is all around us. At any instant, the present right here is the present everywhere else in the universe at this instant. It can't be denied that whatever is happening at some place on (e.g.) Mars at this instant of my existence is happening in the present at that place on Mars. If it's happening at some time other than the present, then something else is happening there at this instant, still in the present. Whatever the time rate in different parts of the universe, the present is still the present. It's an instantaneous event throughout the infinite negative dimension. The absolute base is not any sort of radius or dimension, it's everywhere across the positive dimension instantly, to infinity. In the positive dimension, the point sized electron and point sized positron are both noted to exist in that dimension. What is impossible to visualize is the fact that the same electrons and positrons are also present as the infinite base of dimension in the negative dimension. In each dimension, one of them is not as it seems. And that's exactly why the universe exists. As the universe evolves, everything that exists is being slowly but surely drawn into a deepening void of dimension, where both the speed of light and the rate of the passage time, increase. Which is all almost impossible to comprehend. ------------------ Lately I've been getting reports from folk being denied access to my web pages. I don't know if that's still the case. ----- Max Keon |
