Physics Today: Discoverers of the accelerating expansion of the universe
share this year's physics Nobel

http://www.physicstoday.org/daily_ed..._physics_nobel

"Whether dark energy has retained its value throughout the history of
the universe is an important clue to its nature. Evidently, dark energy
can't have been much stronger than it is today lest it prevent matter
from coalescing to form galaxies. The latest observations, which reach a
redshift of about 2, are consistent with dark energy having been around
in more or less its current form for the past 10 billion years.

"If dark energy remains constant or if it increases in strength, then,
as the cosmic expansion further reduces the density of matter and with
it matter's ability to retard the expansion, the universe will expand
forever without the possibility of rebirth.

"Despite the uncertainty surrounding the nature of dark energy, its
discovery has increased confidence in the so-called ΛCDM model, which
provides a broad framework for the evolution of the universe since the
Big Bang. Features of the universe—such as the synthesis of light
elements, the structure of the cosmic microwave background, and the
formation of large-scale structure—all fit within the model, which
assumes that Λ is the dark energy and that dark matter is cold
(nonrelativistic).

'Big Bang' is a belief that you can see the evolutionary timeline of
the Universe directly which is at variance with all known natural
processes be they animate or inanimate,it is not so much the ultimate
shortcut but transcends the boundary into an affliction of the mind
and the sooner sensible people call a halt to this intellectual
offence the better.

The second a person begs a question about 'big bang/black hole' as
they emerge from the no center/no circumference ideologies is where
they have lost.

The mainstream status-quo rewards those that never rock nor tarnish
any existing vessel or fleet of their Nobel boats that our faith-based
peers highly approved of.

I say, just because the 13.7 billion year delayed or outdated science
has our observable universe interpreted as expanding, isn’t objective
proof that it still is. There’s certainly no shortage of mass within
our universe to keep whatever expansion from continually unfolding,
that is unless there’s an outside attractive force that’s offering
something greater.

Same Wormley is just another parrot stick in the mainstream mud, so
there seldom if ever any independent deductive thinking on his part.
