How Universal Expansion Came to be Postulated

PSI Blog 20240610 How Universal Expansion Came to be Postulated

A trail of tears leading to the “Last Creation Myth.”

With regard to the previous post on Big Bang Theory Falsification No. 24, anon asks:

 

“Does this evidence suggest that the universe is older than the Big Bang Theory predicts since this galaxy's composition couldn't have developed 290 million years since the…inception of the universe…”

 

[GB: Correct, although we didn’t get that obvious conclusion from the cosmogonists who did the work. It teaches us a valuable lesson. Such behavior is typical during the early stages of a revolution, whether political or scientific. Contradictions must be covered up, ignored, or otherwise dismissed as irrelevant. That is why we have 24 falsifications, but the Big Bang Theory keeps marching on.]

 

“Is there any evidence in the universe currently that simulates the mechanics of The Big Bang Theory in present day or is this a one-time occurrence reserved for the creation of the universe?”

 

[GB: Explosions, which amount to local “expansions,” occur throughout the universe, as in the sudden conversion of a solid or liquid to a gas. At least, the imagery is there for the divergence, although the convergence equally common in the Infinite Universe is not.]

 

“…how did this mechanism become postulated?  It echoes the virgin birth of The Christ.”

 

[GB: Your implication is correct. The creation of something out of nothing is a religious assumption, with its popularity surreptitiously supporting the Big Bang Theory. That is why we call it the “Last Creation Myth.”

 

Here is a short summary of the evolution of the universal expansion hypothesis:

 

1.   The Michelson-Morley Experiment proves a “fixed ether” does not exist (1887).

2.   To wide acclaim, Einstein assumes a dynamic aether does not exist, implying that space is perfectly empty (1905).

3.   Einstein assumes time is a dimension in developing General Relativity Theory (1916)

4.   Friedman uses Einstein’s math to speculate that the universe could be expanding (1922).

5.   Bishop Lemaître hypothesizes the universe is finite with an ever-increasing radius (1927).

6.   Hubble mistakenly claims the cosmological redshift proves all galaxies are receding from us (1929).

7.   Lemaître publishes a popular book that was the first (and last) to use “cosmogony” in the title (1950).

8.   Various ad hocs are invented to support the Big Bang Theory every time it falters.

9.   One of the most egregious ad hocs was the “inflationary universe” invented by Guth to resolve the greater than c recessional velocities calculated for those with z>1.5 (1981). Cosmogonists gave up the Doppler effect and substituted perfectly empty space, which thenceforth was assumed responsible for universal expansion. 

 

On top of all this, remember that “nothing,” that is, perfectly empty space is merely an idealization. It is only an idea. The assumed “nonexistence” is impossible. The Infinite Universe exists everywhere for all time.]
