27-billion-years-old? How about infinite?

[GB: Thanks to Bill Wesley for this reminder about Dr. Rajendra Gupta’s challenge to the cosmogonists. I wrote about it before, but new followers might wish to know that all hope is not lost. Gupta published his idea in The Astrophysical Journal, which is a well-regarded 19^th century journal in the United Kingdom. As mentioned in the link, he dismisses dark energy and dark matter as being irrelevant. That is true for dark energy, but not for dark matter. In a previous post I mentioned there are two kinds of dark matter: 1. Associated with apologetics for the Big Bang Theory and 2. The aetherosphere that surrounds all matter due to the deceleration of aether particles that cause gravitation upon colliding with ordinary matter.

 

He also has another major contradiction. He speculates that universal constants change over time. This is false. They may vary from place to place, but the universe is neither expanding nor evolving. Like other reformists, Gupta cherry picks stuff from the theoretical physicists and cosmogonists.

 

In any case, I agree with Bill that bringing the Tired Light Theory into the light of day is a step forward. In addition, recognizing that the universe is 27-billion-years-old rather than 13.8 is a tiny step forward to recognizing that it is infinite.]

 

Bill writes:

“You've probably heard about this already, but at least it’s a start, like a pacifier for the fearful, the current celebrity scientists can still have their cherished big bang along with the tired light so as not go into withdrawals!

 

Now if we can gradually ween them off the infantile big bang creationist superstition that will leave only the reasonable tired light model in a steady state universe without the usual expansion, inflation, dark matter or dark energy fix they have become so very addicted to fidgeting with constantly, so a half step in the right direction at least, but actually it’s a pretty comical half step since with tired light we don't need a big bang at all. Why, you get twice the value out of the big bang with a full 27 billion years! (of course without the big bang you get an infinitely better value but first things first):”
