More Falsification of “Perfectly Empty Space” and the Big Bang Theory

PSI Blog 20210201 More Falsification of “Perfectly Empty Space” and the Big Bang Theory

 

Thanks be to Mike Dwyer who sent me this light-hearted heads up:

Scientists Discover Outer Space Isn't Pitch-Black After All

Here is a nice summary quote from this article by Nell Greenfieldboyce of NPR:

 

“In fact, the amount of light coming from mysterious sources was about equal to all the light coming in from the known galaxies, says Marc Postman, an astronomer with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. So maybe there are unrecognized galaxies out there, he says, "or some other source of light that we don't yet know what it is."

The new findings are sure to get astronomers talking.

"They're saying that there's as much light outside of galaxies as there is inside of galaxies, which is a pretty tough pill to swallow, frankly," notes Michael Zemcov, an astrophysicist at Rochester Institute of Technology, who was not part of the research team.””

 

Duh? Another hard pill for the cosmogonists, but just another confirmation of Infinite Universe Theory. The evidence is two-fold:

 

1.    It implies there are over twice as many galaxies as the 2 trillion we can observe with the Hubble telescope. It is a prelude to the >13.8-Ga galaxies Infinite Universe Theory predicts we will see with the Webb telescope.

2.    There is no such thing as “perfectly empty space.”[1] The evidence for that is valid whether you believe correctly that light is a wave traveling through the aether medium or incorrectly that light is a particle traveling through what you imagine to be “perfectly empty space” in tune with Einstein.   

 

BTW: There is no mention in this article concerning what the cosmological redshift of this light might be. The fact that an infrared expert was quoted might be a hint. At present, the greatest z value is 11.09, which calculates to a supposed distance of 13.4 billion light years. Infinite Universe Theory would predict that the z values for this “mysterious” light are much greater than that. In addition, the z values probably would vary depending on the direction of the measurement, much like the microwave background:

"Figure 28 Cosmic microwave background radiation measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) showing the heterogeneous/homogeneous nature of intergalactic temperature. The red and yellow areas are greater than 2.7^oK and the blue areas are less than 2.7^oK, although the variation is tiny: +5 X 10^{-5 o}K."[2]
