AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE BIG-BANG COSMOLOGY

I am extremely happy to introduce to the reader a new cosmological model called Space Transformation Cosmological model (STC model) proposed by a team of scientists from India as an alternative to the existing Big Bang model. Today it is a matter of common knowledge that the Big Bang model is losing its ground in so many ways for so many reasons. The most shocking news for the Big Bang is the following: When the model was expecting the expansion of the Universe to slow down due to gravity, the experiments revealed that the expansion is accelerating! The award of Nobel prize for the discovery of the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe is the first call to the cosmologists to go in for an alternative model to the Big Bang.
In addition to its inability to explain the acceleration, the Big Bang model has many serious questions to answer. What did exist prior to the Big Bang? In to what the Big Bang expansion takes place? Where did the cosmic egg whose expansion has resulted as the present universe come from?
Apart from the above shortcomings of the model, we have three fundamental issues in physics which any cosmological model worth the name should address.
What is mass? Or How do we define the mass of a body?
While Newton pointed out what mass does (It opposes a force applied on it) and Einstein pointed out the energy content of the mass (E=mc2), both of them did not tell what mass is.
Mass is one quantity or the only one quantity which Newton used without properly defining it.
Somebody may say, mass of a body is a measure of its inertia. But then the question will be: where from the body acquires its inertia?
In General theory of relativity, mass enters as an integration constant; without being properly defined.
Till today there is no proper definition for mass. Out of frustration one cosmologist remarked: Mass is a Mess!
Since mass has not been defined, it remains impossible for us to derive Newton’s law of gravity which contains in it the mass term. Newton could only deduce the law from Kepler’s law’s of planetary motions. He could not derive it in spite of his best efforts.
Another issue which remains unresolved right from the days of Newton is the following: A theoretical proof for the Galileo’s experiment (which demonstrated that two objects of different masses dropped from the same height from the ground reach the ground at the same time) is pending for the last few centuries. Our inability to give a theoretical proof for Galileo’s experimental demonstration from the tower of Pisa is closely linked to the fact that mass has not been defined.
When Newton was asked for a proof for Galileo’s experiment he simply said: It is a “God given gift”. I don’t have a proof.
When Einstein was asked for a proof for Galileo’s demonstration, he remarked: I am building my General theory upon the result of Galileo’s experiment. I don’t require a proof for that; Galileo’s experimental demonstration will do for me.
It is high time that we seek an alternative to the Big Bang. Most of the cosmologists today feel that we need a cosmological theory which can throw light on all the above short comings and challenges. It is a matter of great satisfaction that such an alternative has come from a group of scientists from India. Their cosmological model called Space Transformation Cosmological model (STC model) starts with two axioms for space and meets some of the challenges mention above.
Axiom 1 for Space
Space is all-pervading and is endowed with potential energy. It has the property of constant self- compression and continually exerting compressive pressure on every system in it.
Axiom 2 for Space
Self-compression results in the formation of infinitesimal spinning quanta of Space, called “formative dust”. Due to the surrounding compressive pressure of Space, dust are forced into formation of discrete groups we know as fundamental particles; every group of dust formed by the surrounding compressive pressure of Space has a spin and hence becomes a source of a radial field with a repulsive force at every space-time point.
The above Axioms tell us the process of the formation of particles and waves in Space. In the current literature the above process is referred to as vacuum decay or vacuum fluctuations.
Every particle in the universe becomes a source of diverging waves in Space. These waves in Space push everything towards the rim of the universe. This anti gravity waves in Space constitute Dark Energy.
The salient features of STC model
In STC model mass of body is defined as a measure of the net gripping thrust on the body due to Space.
If m is the mass of an object
m = β A (C-R)
where β is Universal constant.
A= area of the object.
C= compressive pressure on the object due to Space.
R = Repulsive pressure emanating from the object opposing compressive pressure.
STC model derives Newton’s law of gravity without using Kepler’s laws.
The Pisa tower experiment of Galileo has been given a theoretical proof.
The Hubble law is thoroughly modified. The modification is supported by recent experimental observations.
The Dark Energy has been explained.
The model predicts that the expansion of the Universe will stop one day in future and thereafter it will start contracting.
In STC model, as time tends to zero, the radius of the universe remains finite and hence the singularity problem of the radius of the universe becoming zero as time goes to zero, has been avoided.
Thus the STC model seems to be a far superior model to the existing Big Bang model.
