(Published in New Scientist, May 22, 2004)

"The big bang today relies on a growing number of hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples. Without them, there would be a fatal contradiction between the observations made by astronomers and the predictions of the big bang theory. In no other field of physics would this continual recourse to new hypothetical objects be accepted as a way of bridging the gap between theory and observation. It would, at the least, raise serious questions about the validity of the underlying theory. ..."  continues ...

INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM: This website is mainly concerned with revisionism in cosmology. Those of us involved in replacing the unnatural expanding-universe paradigm are aware of the difficulties involved.

   However, other revisionists have unimaginable difficulties. Consider the ongoing persecution of revisionists in other fields of intellectual pursuit:

 

"It makes you wonder —about the immense effort being made by State and State-sponsored organizations with budgets of tens of millions of dollars and thousands of employees and associates to smother and punish these few men and women. Every punishing instrument imaginable is used, every vicious slander conceivable, every flagrant and pervasive form of censorship that law allows, including the imprisonment of simple writers for thought crimes against the State. ... Makes you wonder."Bradley R. Smith (2011)

  12. Question/comment
 

1. Where, conceptually, did DSSU theory originate ?

    Historically the key concept --the idea that space expands-- can be traced back to the De Sitter  expanding universe of 1917 and the Einstein static-but-unstable universe also of 1917. It was Einstein's general theory of relativity, published just a year earlier, that ascribed space with its dynamic qualities --the ability to expand and contract. The progression of ideas weaves through much of the 20th century. The addition of two missing components is detailed in the DSSU Manuscript. All the conceptual pieces, primarily the four Postulates, were linked together in the month of August in the year 2001.
    The name --Dynamic Steady State Universe-- was carefully chosen to reflect the fact that space is Dynamic (it expands in some regions AND contracts in others) while the greater Universe is highly stable. Furthermore, all its processes are perpetually in a Steady State mode.

2. Why does space expand?

A:  Without elaboration, space expands when it is under tension. Space expands, meaning that new space forms, when mass concentrations pull on it from opposite directions. The effect occurs on the unit-universe scale; that is, it acts across (or within) each and every unit-universe cell.

3. Science journalist Timothy Ferris in his book The Whole Shebang [1997, Simon & Schuster. p67] asks if cosmic space is expanding, what is it expanding into?

A:  Space is expanding into an enveloping cosmic cell boundary. Space is expanding into regions that are rich in mass-and-energy ---more specifically, it is expanding into space-contracting fields that surround all mass and energy bodies.
    And why is space expanding into those regions? ... Simple. mass/energy acts as a sink for space (called aether-space in DSSU theory). In fact, the flow of aether-space into mass particles and mass bodies sustains their very existence. It is truly one of the most remarkable aspects of DSSU theory.

4. What is the significance of the polygon icon pictured in the Website header?

A:  It is called the Brahmanda cell of the DSSU.

     The word for universe in Sanskrit is “Brahmanda” which is made by joining the words “Brahma” and “Anda.”  Brahma is derived from root “Briha” meaning to expand and “Anda” meaning egg.  Thus “Brahmanda” means expanding egg. [source: Hindu Cosmology & Ancient Science]  The Brahmanda cell vividly identifies with the space-expanding unit-universe of DSSU theory. It represents the cosmic cells observed by astronomers --each cell a 300-million-lightyear-diameter void enveloped by a "shell" of galaxy clusters.
    The why and wherefore of the shape of the Brahmanda cell is explained in chapter 1 of the Manuscript.

5. What is the difference between the vacuum and the void?

A:  As a term used to express the emptiness of a region the vacuum and the void are interchangeable.  More specifically, a vacuum (especially an ideal vacuum) refers to the absence of any gaseous atoms or molecules in a region of space. The meaning of void goes further. The void refers to the absence of everything conceivable; it represents complete nothingness. No air, no aether, no entities of any sort. No need to concern ourselves, though; this kind of void does not exist. Descartes had it right when he wrote that it is contrary to reason to say that there is a space in which there is absolutely nothing. As for the vacuum, he argued that it does not exclude all entities. [Ed. Margaret D. Wilson, The Essential Descartes, 1969 Mentor p342]
   Consider also the nuance of meaning when it comes to specialized jargon: In the field of astronomy the void refers to the relatively empty region of the interior of the cosmic cells of the Universe. In astrophysics and philosophy the void refers to complete nothingness.

6. What is the difference between the Hubble constant, H, used in the DSSU theory and the one used in BB theory?

A:   In the DSSU theory H serves as the space expansion constant and denotes the speed with which each of the three dimensions increase in length per million lightyears (or per megaparsec) of length. Here’s a visualization for the mind’s eye: A space cube having sides of a million lightyears will continually expand its dimensions by about 18.5km/sec.
   In Big Bang cosmology H serves the same purpose. However, there is an important difference. Expressed as H0, pronounced “H-nought,” it also denotes the rate at which the ENTIRE Big Bang universe is expanding.
   Both are named after Edwin Hubble the man who popularized the findings that higher redshifts relate to greater distance of galaxies.

7.  A theoretical redshift index approaching infinite value is interpreted by Big Bang theory as the increasing approach to the big bang event —that supposed singularity of universal genesis. What does an infinite redshift mean in the DSSU?

A:  Theoretically, a galaxy (say a node galaxy) whose redshift approaches infinity signifies a galaxy whose distance from us is near infinity.

Back to Top

8. Why do astronomers speak of ‘Doppler equations’ and ‘recession motion’ in connection to cosmic distance?

A:  There is really no good reason other than vestigial --what once was a historical habit has become a quirk of specialized jargon. When astronomers use these Doppler equations or refer to recession velocities they are fully aware (at least the vast majority are) that it is the space expansion of intergalactic space that is causing the redshifting of light and not galactic Doppler motion through space.

9. Since there is a process of matter creation in the DSSU, doesn't this represent a violation of the sacred conservation of energy rule? ---and, hence, invalidate the theory?

A:  In terrestrial physics the conservation of energy law is accepted as being valid. It means that matter is neither created nor destroyed; and of course, when we speak of matter, the term includes both normal energy  and frozen energy (commonly called mass).
   In astrophysics, however, things are not as constricted. The creation ('formation' is the more accurate term) of matter-and-energy is permitted ---in fact it is essential. You simply can't have a universe without it. Practically all theorists use the concept of matter creation. The subject of serious debate is not IF matter is being created but rather HOW. The vast majority believe that it was created all at once long long ago in some spectacular big bang scenario. A minority of theorists, on the other hand, believe that matter formation takes place continuously in a sedate steady state universe.
   Understanding the essential ingredient of matter formation/creation to any functional theory of the universe means that the various Big Bang models, the historic Steady State models, as well as the Cellular Universe, cannot be reasonably rejected on the grounds that they violate the conservation-of-energy law.
   But the Cellular Model clearly has the advantage. Although the DSSU has a process of matter formation/creation, amazingly it does not, in principle, violate the energy conservation rule? No net energy is created or destroyed.

10. Why is dark matter unnecessary for holding a cluster of galaxies together?

A:  Academic physicists claim there must be much more gravity holding the clusters together than could be produced by the visible stars and gas. They invoke the existence of mysterious invisible dark matter which they claim adds to the gravitational mass of the cluster. Although it has never been detected it is supposed to increase the gravity of the cluster. What they fail to realize is that gravity and Lambda are NOT forces in opposition. They have failed to grasp the fundamental fact that in addition to normal gravity pulling the galaxies (of the cluster) together, the cosmic gravity, commonly called Lambda, is also pushing the cluster together. Every cluster is surrounded by voids. The voids are where Lambda dominates. In the context of a cellularly structured universe gravity and Lambda are both active in maintaining galaxy cluster cohesion. Dark matter is simply not needed.

The bottom line: The equations used to model the dynamic behavior of galaxy clusters are wrong.

11. One of the reviewers of the Paper Resolving a Paradox in Special Relativity —Absolute Motion and the Unified Doppler Equation made the following comment:

"... However, let me suggest that you find a different name for your Doppler equations than 'DSSU'. The Big Bang Theory is the currently accepted theory and even if one doubts the BB theory, they [readers] will probably not think the evidence is overwhelming for a Steady State Universe much less a variation they've never heard of. Hence, tying your Doppler equations to DSSU brings immediate skepticism. Yet, I don't see that the DSSU Doppler equations require a Steady State Universe. So the name, DSSU, of your Doppler equations would seem to be misleading and unduly burdensome."

My Respose: A good point; and this is why I have used “Unified Doppler” in the Manuscript title and not “DSSU Doppler.” ... However ...
I have two reasons for using the DSSU label.

(1) The nature of DSSU aether-space is embedded in the key postulates of DSSU Cosmology theory. So in a sense, DSSU aether theory and DSSU relativity theory are parts of a larger theory ---DSSU theory for short. Why have multiple theories when one will do?

(2) I wish to distance myself from the Big Bang model. As a hypothetical, it is a universe designed by mathematicians and for mathematicians. Conceptually, it is little more than creationism and mytho-cosmology propped up by government funding and media hype. The “creationism” aspect was made official in 1953, when the world’s dominant church, by Papal Decree, embraced the Big Bang model. As a practical model of The Universe it has long outlived its usefulness. Having studied the vastly superior alternative model I find the BB model -based, as it is, on the grandest unscientific extrapolation ever- an embarrassment.

In a nutshell, the difference is this:  The BB is a universe of expanding space AND a universe for which this expansion is extrapolated into the expansion of the entire universe!! The DSSU is a universe of expanding space but suffers no wild extrapolation.

Ten years of investigation have revealed the DSSU to be a natural universe.
