I wish to report on my latest research shown in ArXiv archive.
http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6589. There are two important points.
The first is about the calibration of supernovae type Ia and the
second is about publication of results outside the current paradigm.

This paper argues that a property of the B14 calibration method for
the wi dths of type Ia supernova is that any redshift dependence
in the observed widths (or stretch factors) is automatically removed
from the calibrated output. The standard calibration method {Guy
2007} uses a light curve template to eliminate the effects of
intrinsic wavelength dependent variations from the observed supernova
light curves. For example the calibrated light curve width is the
observed light curve width divided by a reference width which is
the average, weighted by filter gain factors, of the template width
over the observed rest-frame (emission frame) wavelengths. The
calculation of the reference width mathematically mimics the operation
of the telescope observing an ideal supernova. The assumption is
that the rest-frame template light curves are the same for all SNe.

The virtue of this method is that if there are enough SNe the
template light curves can be determined from the observed light
curves by averaging them over the rest-frame wavelengths. This
averaging is iterated until the reference curves are stable.

But if the rest-frame wavelength cover for individual SNe does not
cover the full wavelength range this calibration method cannot
distinguish between intrinsic wavelength variations in the width
and any width dependence on re dshift in the observed widths.
Suppose there is redshift dependence that is common to all the SNe
then the rest-frame light curve template will include this redshift
variation as if it is part of the intrinsic wavelength variation
in the light curves. Consequently the calibrated light curves for
individual supernovae will not include this redshift dependence.
A computer simulation of this calibration process confirmed this
conclusion.

The standard analysis removes the time dilation factors from the
epoch differences before this iterative calibration process is done.
Consequently the calibrated light curve widths will, to the first
order, be the same whether or not the time dilations are or are not
removed. The basic conclusion is that this method of analysis will
always produce calibrated widths (stretch factors) that do not show
any redshift dependence.

The second point is that I have submitted this paper to three
journals. In each case they found no problems with the paper but
rejected it because it was outside the current paradigm. This is
paradigm censorship.

I would be interested in any reputable journal that might publish
this paper.
