Just to add to the confusion, the Swartzchild radius of the universe is on the order of 10^9 light years, depending on the mass of the universe you like. So how did it manage to expand up to this time?

Hey Tom! I couldn't resist telling Sarfatti about redshift, and he didn't hesitate calling me every name in the book. So I answered him, using data I got here, a quote from Kuhn anout alternative theories, included your introduction and told him what I thought. Well, his software cropped my too long letter just before AI got to your quotes, and deleting everything I had to say. So now I will have to write it all over again. Problem is that I do not know what the alternative theories are. I hear a lot about plasma, but that is more of a completion than an alternative. Gravity does play a part in cosmology, so it would be a misnomer to use "alternative." It seems to me that EMF is being ignored on the cosmic scale. For example, don't they say the jets seen with some Galaxies are caused by gravitationally induced radiation? Obviously they are electromagnetic current flows in conjunction with gravitational effects. So a lot of the cosmology within the Big Bang theory is not wrong per se, it is just missing crucial parts of the total picture. On the other hand, there are aspects of the BIg Bang theory that are wrong and need to be eliminated such as expansion from a point. I wonder what the cosmology would look like if we looked at it as it is NOW. What is Gravity doing NOW? What is EMF doing NOW? Is the CMBR something that is happening NOW? What if matter is being created NOW?
Anyway, this is a great and maybe only opportunity to get a word in edgewise to the Big Bang Believers. I think I did a good job with the anomalous redshift stuff, obvioudly the computer didn't like the rest of it. So, what is the alternative to the Big Bang cosmological theory?

About 10 years ago Arp wrote his first book: Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies. He hoped that a comprehensive presentation of the evidence would lead professional astronomers to turn their instruments on the many objects which contradict current theory. Arp's immediate purpose failed; his book became a list of topics and objects that professional astronomers avoided at all cost.

Here is a link to a good general introduction to alternatives to the redshift velocity interpretation problem,
quoting:
Most galaxies' spectral lines are shifted toward the red, or longer wavelength, end of the spectrum.
Edwin Hubble showed in 1929 that the more distant the galaxy, the larger this "redshift." Astronomers traditionally have interpreted the redshift as a Doppler shift induced as the galaxies recede from us within an expanding universe. For that reason, the redshift is usually expressed as a velocity in kilometers per second.
One of the first indications that there might be a problem with this picture came in the early 1970's. William G. Tifft, University of Arizona noticed a curious and unexpected relationship between a galaxy's morphological classification (Hubble type), brightness, and red shift. The galaxies in the Coma Cluster, for example, seemed to arrange themselves along sloping bands in a redshift v.s. brightness diagram. Moreover, the spirals tended to have higher redshifts than elliptical galaxies. Clusters other than Coma exhibited the same strange relationships."

3 --- Defective Evidence.
Support for the Big Bang theory has been built upon three main kinds of evidence:
First, the Big Bang assumes that the observable universe is expanding. Proof of this is offered by interpreting the redshifts of remote galaxies and many other systems as Doppler shifts. Hence these redshifts "prove" that these systems are all flying away from each other.
Second, the Big bang theory predicts the cosmic abundance of some light elements like helium-4, deuterium, and lithium-7. The available evidence of cosmic abundances is said to confirm the predictions.
Third, Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow in 1948 used the Big bang theory to predict the existence of a low temperature background radiation throughout the universe at 25 K as a relic of the initial Big Bang explosion. A background radiation at a temperature of about 3 K (emitting radiation 5000 times less intense, see Planck's law) has indeed been discovered(2), and is being interpreted as the predicted relic.
Finally, in addition to these kind of evidence, it is claimed that the Big bang hypothesis agrees with Einstein's theory of relativity.
The support afforded by the Big bang model by these four arguments is, however, only apparent and does not withstand a serious detailed analysis. In fact, the observational evidence from astrophysics is more in keeping with the model suggested by this author of an unlimited universe.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF REDSHIFTS IN
NEW SAMPLES OF QUASI-STELLAR OBJECTS

ABSTRACT
Two new samples of QSOs have been constructed from recent surveys to test the hypothesis that the redshift distribution of bright QSOs is periodic in log(1 + z). The first of these comprises 57 different redshifts among all known close pairs or multiple QSOs, with image separations #8804; 10#8242;#8242;, and the second consists of 39 QSOs selected through their X-ray emission and their proximity to bright comparatively nearby active galaxies. The redshift distributions of the samples are found to exhibit distinct peaks with a periodic separation of #8764; 0.089 in log(1+z) identical to that claimed in earlier samples but now extended out to higher redshift peaks z = 2.63, 3.45 and 4.47, predicted by the formula but never seen before. The
periodicity is also seen in a third sample, the 78 QSOs of the 3C and 3CR catalogues. It is present in these three datasets at an overall significance level 10#8722;5 - 10#8722;6, and appears not to be explicable by spectroscopic or similar selection effects. Possible interpretations are briefly discussed.

Further Evidence for Quantized Intrinsic Redshifts in Galaxies: Is
the Great Attractor a Myth?
M.B. Bell1 and S.P. Comeau1
ABSTRACT
Evidence was presented recently suggesting that the Fundamental Plane (FP) clusters studied in the Hubble Key Project may contain quantized intrinsic redshift components that are related to those reported by Tifft. Here we report the results of a similar analysis using 55 spiral (Sc and
Sb) galaxies, and 36 Type Ia supernovae (SnIa) galaxies. We find that even when many more objects are included in the sample there is still clear evidence that the same uantized intrinsic redshifts are present and superimposed on the Hubble flow.

Statistical Analysis of the Occurrence of Periodicities in Galaxy Redshift Data

Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers
Abstract:
We investigate some of Tifft's recent statistical analyses of periodicities in extragalactic redshift samples. The values of the periodicities are refinements of those predicted by Lehto. The redshifts have been corrected for the apparent motion of the solar system relative to the cosmic background radiation and have been filtered by applying criteria such as 21 cm profile width and redshift. In all cases except one, our Monte-Carlo simulations show general agreement with Tifft's results. However, we find that one of his analyses is weakened by applying an inappropriate Bernoulli-trials statistic. We apply a new, more straightforward statistic that shows high statistical significance for some of the periodicities. We conclude that although some of Tifft's procedures seem to be open to some criticism, the periodicities are present at a level that is statistically significant.

THE REDSHIFT AND THE ZERO POINT ENERGY
Barry Setterfield & Daniel Dzimano
15th December 2003.
"If the redshift of light from distant galaxies is due to the behaviour of atomic emitters within those galaxies as a universal phenomenon, it can only be in response to the changing properties of the vacuum. The key property of the vacuum that is universal and implicated here is the Zero Point Energy (ZPE). The outcome of this line of investigation is that the behaviour of the ZPE allows a formula for the redshift to be derived that is the same as the relativistic Doppler formula, but without it having anything to do with space-time expansion or the motion of galaxies. Furthermore, the observed size of Tifft’s basic quantization can be reproduced. "

The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta
Robert V. Gentry and David W. Gentry
Abstract
Re-examination of general relativistic experimental results shows the universe is governed by Einstein’s static-space-time general relativity instead of Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding-space-time general relativity. The absence of expansion redshifts in a static-space-time universe suggests a reevaluation of the present cosmology is needed.
For many decades the Friedmann-Lemaitre space-time expansion redshift hypothesis has been accepted as the Rosetta of modern cosmology. It is believed to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos just as the archaeological Rosetta unlocked the mysteries of ancient Egypt. But are expansion redshifts The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta?
Until now this has been the consensus because of their apparent, most impressive ability to uniquely explain how the twentieth century’s two great astronomical and astrophysical discoveries—meaning of course the Hubble redshift relation and the 2.7K Cosmic Blackbody Radiation (CBR)—can be accounted for within the framework of a hot big bang universe. But this consensus is not universal. For example, Burbidge and Arp continue to note that while most astronomers and astrophysicists accept the hot big bang and attribute extragalactic redshifts to expansion effects, they continue to ignore the minority view that certain observations, such as anomalous quasar redshifts, imply the need for a different redshift interpretation, and perhaps a different universe model as well.

The difficult discrimination of Impulse Stimulated
Raman Scattering redshift against Doppler
redshift
J. Moret-Bailly
July 8, 2004
Pacs 42.65.Dr Stimulated Raman scattering, 94.10.Gb Absorption and scattering of radiation, 98.54.Aj Quasars
Abstract The Impulsive Stimulated Raman Scattering (ISRS) is a parametric light-matter interaction which shifts the frequencies of two ultrashort laser light pulses by a non-quantified transfer of energy. As ISRS has no threshold,
the laser pulses may be replaced by the pulses which constitute the ordinary incoherent light. This replacement has the expected qualitative effect on the time constants required to observe ISRS: nanosecond collisional time and Raman period. It has also a qualitative effect, the frequency shifts become independent on the intensity; thus we use a new name for this avatar of ISRS: ”Incoherent
Light Coherent Raman Scattering” (ILCRS). The coherence makes ILCRS very different from the ordinary Raman effect
proposed as an alternative to Doppler effect in the past: ILCRS is a stronger light-matter interaction, it does not blur the images, nether the spectra; the beams which receive energy are in the thermal radiation. The shifts of the spectra produced either by a Doppler effect, or by ILCRS
are very similar. However ILCRS is subject to a dispersion which perturbs slightly the spectra. ILCRS is the key of a model of quasars which explains all observations, without any new matter or physical theory: no fast moving cloud,
no dark matter, no variation of the fine structure instant, no invisible object. The redshifts and the thermal radiation produced by ILCRS should not be neglected a priori.

Finally, in addition to these kind of evidence, it is claimed that the Big bang hypothesis agrees with Einstein's theory of relativity.
The support afforded by the Big bang model by these four arguments is, however, only apparent and does not withstand a serious detailed analysis. In fact, the observational evidence from astrophysics is more in keeping with the model suggested by this author of an unlimited universe.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF REDSHIFTS IN
NEW SAMPLES OF QUASI-STELLAR OBJECTS

ABSTRACT
Two new samples of QSOs have been constructed from recent surveys to test the hypothesis that the redshift distribution of bright QSOs is periodic in log(1 + z). The first of these comprises 57 different redshifts among all known close pairs or multiple QSOs, with image separations #8804; 10#8242;#8242;, and the second consists of 39 QSOs selected through their X-ray emission and their proximity to bright comparatively nearby active galaxies. The redshift distributions of the samples are found to exhibit distinct peaks with a periodic separation of #8764; 0.089 in log(1+z) identical to that claimed in earlier samples but now extended out to higher redshift peaks z = 2.63, 3.45 and 4.47, predicted by the formula but never seen before. The
periodicity is also seen in a third sample, the 78 QSOs of the 3C and 3CR catalogues. It is present in these three datasets at an overall significance level 10#8722;5 - 10#8722;6, and appears not to be explicable by spectroscopic or similar selection effects. Possible interpretations are briefly discussed.

Further Evidence for Quantized Intrinsic Redshifts in Galaxies: Is
the Great Attractor a Myth?
M.B. Bell1 and S.P. Comeau1
ABSTRACT
Evidence was presented recently suggesting that the Fundamental Plane (FP) clusters studied in the Hubble Key Project may contain quantized intrinsic redshift components that are related to those reported by Tifft. Here we report the results of a similar analysis using 55 spiral (Sc and
Sb) galaxies, and 36 Type Ia supernovae (SnIa) galaxies. We find that even when many more objects are included in the sample there is still clear evidence that the same uantized intrinsic redshifts are present and superimposed on the Hubble flow.

Statistical Analysis of the Occurrence of Periodicities in Galaxy Redshift Data

Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers
Abstract:
We investigate some of Tifft's recent statistical analyses of periodicities in extragalactic redshift samples. The values of the periodicities are refinements of those predicted by Lehto. The redshifts have been corrected for the apparent motion of the solar system relative to the cosmic background radiation and have been filtered by applying criteria such as 21 cm profile width and redshift. In all cases except one, our Monte-Carlo simulations show general agreement with Tifft's results. However, we find that one of his analyses is weakened by applying an inappropriate Bernoulli-trials statistic. We apply a new, more straightforward statistic that shows high statistical significance for some of the periodicities. We conclude that although some of Tifft's procedures seem to be open to some criticism, the periodicities are present at a level that is statistically significant.

THE REDSHIFT AND THE ZERO POINT ENERGY
Barry Setterfield & Daniel Dzimano
15th December 2003.
"If the redshift of light from distant galaxies is due to the behaviour of atomic emitters within those galaxies as a universal phenomenon, it can only be in response to the changing properties of the vacuum. The key property of the vacuum that is universal and implicated here is the Zero Point Energy (ZPE). The outcome of this line of investigation is that the behaviour of the ZPE allows a formula for the redshift to be derived that is the same as the relativistic Doppler formula, but without it having anything to do with space-time expansion or the motion of galaxies. Furthermore, the observed size of Tifft’s basic quantization can be reproduced. "

The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta
Robert V. Gentry and David W. Gentry
Abstract
Re-examination of general relativistic experimental results shows the universe is governed by Einstein’s static-space-time general relativity instead of Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding-space-time general relativity. The absence of expansion redshifts in a static-space-time universe suggests a reevaluation of the present cosmology is needed.
For many decades the Friedmann-Lemaitre space-time expansion redshift hypothesis has been accepted as the Rosetta of modern cosmology. It is believed to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos just as the archaeological Rosetta unlocked the mysteries of ancient Egypt. But are expansion redshifts The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta?
Until now this has been the consensus because of their apparent, most impressive ability to uniquely explain how the twentieth century’s two great astronomical and astrophysical discoveries—meaning of course the Hubble redshift relation and the 2.7K Cosmic Blackbody Radiation (CBR)—can be accounted for within the framework of a hot big bang universe. But this consensus is not universal. For example, Burbidge and Arp continue to note that while most astronomers and astrophysicists accept the hot big bang and attribute extragalactic redshifts to expansion effects, they continue to ignore the minority view that certain observations, such as anomalous quasar redshifts, imply the need for a different redshift interpretation, and perhaps a different universe model as well.

Conservation of Energy in a

An analysis of contradictions in the theory of universal
expansion leads to the conclusion that the universe is
stationary and Euclidean, and that the cosmic redshift is not expansion-related. As an alternative explanation for the
redshift, an exponential redshift-distance relation based on
conservation of energy is considered.

The difficult discrimination of Impulse Stimulated
Raman Scattering redshift against Doppler
redshift
J. Moret-Bailly
July 8, 2004
Pacs 42.65.Dr Stimulated Raman scattering, 94.10.Gb Absorption and scattering of radiation, 98.54.Aj Quasars
Abstract The Impulsive Stimulated Raman Scattering (ISRS) is a parametric light-matter interaction which shifts the frequencies of two ultrashort laser light pulses by a non-quantified transfer of energy. As ISRS has no threshold,
the laser pulses may be replaced by the pulses which constitute the ordinary incoherent light. This replacement has the expected qualitative effect on the time constants required to observe ISRS: nanosecond collisional time and Raman period. It has also a qualitative effect, the frequency shifts become independent on the intensity; thus we use a new name for this avatar of ISRS: ”Incoherent
Light Coherent Raman Scattering” (ILCRS). The coherence makes ILCRS very different from the ordinary Raman effect
proposed as an alternative to Doppler effect in the past: ILCRS is a stronger light-matter interaction, it does not blur the images, nether the spectra; the beams which receive energy are in the thermal radiation. The shifts of the spectra produced either by a Doppler effect, or by ILCRS
are very similar. However ILCRS is subject to a dispersion which perturbs slightly the spectra. ILCRS is the key of a model of quasars which explains all observations, without any new matter or physical theory: no fast moving cloud,
no dark matter, no variation of the fine structure instant, no invisible object. The redshifts and the thermal radiation produced by ILCRS should not be neglected a priori.

Scientific American published a book "book of the Cosmos" edited by David Levy, which includes essays from many of the original participants of cosmological research from Einstein and Schroedinger up to Linde.
I wonder how many remember that joke Americans used to laugh at, "Oh, the Russians will probably say they discovered it first." Well, here we are and it sure looks like the joke is on us. Linde, who is Russian, is the one to have developed "The New Inflation THeory"
In the article on inflation, Guth makes the point that the Big Bang theory did not work out. It was falsified from the very beginning. Inflation is actually a new theory meant to replace the Big Bang theory at the beginning. The point was made that once inflation is done, the Big Bang theory kicks in again. However, the time before inflation is observationally lost to us forever.
Sounds like instead of a Universe starting at a point and emerging from nothing, Inflation gives us a ready made Universe with a beginning that is inexplicable.
And all this is based on the assumpotion that the placement of "c" in Hubbles equation is an accurate description of reality. Yet the velocity comp9onent of Hubble's equation was not observed, it was added in.

It is not clear to me at this point exactly what the standard theory is. It appears that the Big Bang IS NOT the prevailing theory. Perhaps this is where the Expansion Balloon comes in.

The New Inflation, however, said by Linde to be based on particle theory, does include a Scalar field. And he talks about multiple inflations...
But no where in the book is anything other than gravity considered. No mention is made of Plasma. No mention is made of ElectroMagnetic fields and current flows, and magnetic attractions and connected charges. And if they do mention it, it is called "radiation." And somehow the radiation is being interpreted as a consequence of gravity.
Is the standard theory a theory of gravity? Where the beginning starts with a suspension of the laws of gravity until the right size is achieved, then the laws of physics kick in?
Seems like whenever they try to establish a beginning they are forced to start with nothing...
