Sluimers’s Argument

I'm not a physicist nor an astronomer, but a mere simple student in computer science.

The Big Bang theory is based on redshift, supported by CMBR images made by the WMAP telescope.
The idea is that because most galaxies are found to be reddish, that at some point in the past all matter and energy of the universe used to be lumped together.
Galaxies sent out these light wave-particles billions of years ago and during that time the galaxies were moving away from us, or we from them, resulting in a lower wavelength light wave-particles, known as the Doppler effect, giving it a more reddish colour.
If I'm correct, the only galaxies that are more blueish are most galaxies from our local group, including our big neighbour, the Andromeda Galaxy
and a few from our local supercluster.
If all is going to plan, the new James Webb Space Telescope will unravel the secrets of how the big bang began.


That's not going to happen.

The Doppler effect may sound like the most logical choice for redshift, but I don't read anywhere that they have measured whether galaxies are becoming bigger or smaller, supporting the idea that redshift really is a Doppler effect.
Showing that galaxies are closer to each other the further away we look would also be nice.
Since the universe has already proven to be more than 150 billion lightyears across, an age of 13.7 billion lightyears should be inconcievable.
I'm making an assumption here that it's human nature for many, including the most revered scientists, not to reinvent the wheel as that would cost too much time, effort and money.
So scientists have decided that since WMAP says that if the universe is 13.7 billion years old and Einstein saying that light cannot travel faster than c, space itself must be expanding. They call the cause of it dark energy.


So what do I think?
First of all the James Webb Space Telescope probably will see is more of the same. Simply more and more galaxies, just like the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image.
Second, WMAP will never be able to correctly filter out radiation coming from plasma in our own solar system and milky way. Especially when this plasma is "dark flowing".
Third, it seems that the universe is endless, it just goes on and on forever and ever. Perhaps we might see that we're only part of something even bigger, but so far that´s not the case.

the obsolesence of the big-bang theory

The "big bang" theory in astronomy/cosmology has already been rendered an untenable explanation by the research and theorizing of Dewey B. Larson! He was the engineer who developed the "Reciprocal System of Theory", a new paradigm of the physical universe that does produce a "unified field theory". His students and followers have posted his works at http://www.reciprocalsystem.com/bdl/ The reason this has net been adopted in astronomy/cosmology is that Larson was not a physicist, and physicists are the worst snobs in all of science.

Re: the obsolesence of the big bang theory

Of course I mean the majority of physicists, not just Dewey Larson
I had to change my prediction 10 times, so in the end I chose their own wording and suggestion.

This is because I wanted to add more theories in my prediction (and the first time I naively thought that no advance payment was necessary, so I kindly asked if the challenger would bet a billion dollars on it.), but the Long Now Foundation does not accept multiple predictions molded into one.

clarification

I don't want to bet on the prediction - not for $1 or $1million. My point is that a credible alternative already exists for the big bang theory. And it is supported by far more scientists than just Larson. Remember that even Newton's theory took some time to get general acceptance. The notion that the big bang would be replaced with something better, is a good idea. Most of conventional quantum theory will have to be replaced, because its a mismash of vague hypotheses and speculative conjuctures. The point is, Larson's theory will transform all of this into a consistent and effective explanation. Anyone interested in this issue should begin by acquainting themselves with Larson's work - otherwise further comments will be based on ignorance rather than knowledge!

mistake in argument

I've just noticed a mistake in my own argument. It's 92 and not over 150 billion lightyears across.
