Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
“E. Hubble has shown that the observational data which he has obtained do not agree satisfactorily with the homogeneous relativistic cosmological models [Big Bang models]…the homogeneous models give an unrealistic picture of the physical universe.
Perhaps this should not be too surprising, since Tolman [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 20, 169, 1934] has shown that, subject to certain simplifying conditions, a homogeneous model is unstable under perturbations in density. Any local tendency to expand would be emphasized by further expansion. Likewise, any local tendency to contract would be followed by further contraction. Thus if a homogeneous model is disturbed, it becomes nonhomogeneous.”
Guy C. Omer, Jr., “A Nonhomogeneous Cosmological Model,” Journal of the American Astronomical Society, vol. 109, 1949, pp. 165-166.
Omer is right. It was known back in the 1930s and 40s that Hubble’s claim of endless universal expansion did not comport with the data. The universe does not display the ‘homogenous’ characteristics demanded by Hubble, the Big Bang, or Relativity. Yet the ‘Standard Model’ of cosmology is entirely constructured around these false declamations. Why?
Modern cosmology is a new domain which does not make it ‘The Science’. It is just over 100 years in age and is based on Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR), which is fundamentally invalid; Hubble’s ‘law’ (more below) and the ‘Big Bang’ model (‘The Science’ delusion) which is incoherent and suffers from any number of defects. The ‘gravitational effect’ promoted by GTR is unproven and lies outside any possible physical proof, provides the mathematical-philosophical foundation for much of Big Bang cosmology, along with Hubble’s law (discussed below). Neither are ‘scientific’ or ‘proven’. More here
“How significant is this quadrupole-octopole alignment? As a simple definition of preferred axis, [it] denotes the spherical harmonic coefficients of the map in a rotated coordinate system….if the CMB is an isotropic Gaussian random field, then a chance alignment this good requires a 1-in-62 fluke.” (Max Tegmark, Angélica de Oliveira-Costa and Andrew Hamilton, “A high resolution foreground cleaned CMB map from WMAP,” Physical Rev. D, July 26, 2003, p. 14)
To translate the above, "Scientists have found that two specific patterns (four poles and eight poles within the cosmic background radiation), in the early universe's picture are lined up in a very unusual way. If our current understanding of the universe is correct, this alignment should be completely random. But the odds of it happening by chance are very low, maybe about 1 in 62 (or much lower in the author’s opinion). This suggests that there might be something about the universe we don't understand."
The above observation and interpretation indicate a far smaller universe than we are told. That is what they mean by ‘something about the universe that we don’t understand’. Distant events, WMAP, JWST, COBE and other telescopic and probe information, do not support the infinite universe model. Einstein was right when he originally believed, based on some basic Newtonian logic, that the universe was likely static and not infinite or expanding. One for Einstein! More here
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus:
‘Occam's Razor is, of course, not an arbitrary rule nor one justified by its practical success. It simply says that unnecessary elements in a symbolism mean nothing. Signs which serve one purpose are logically equivalent; signs which serve no purpose are logically meaningless.’
Ludwig is right and this is one reason amongst hundreds why Relativity is a false religion. It is suffused with meaningless maths and symbols.
One of the greatest frauds in history is the Relativity cult. It has elevated and cojoined abstruse mathematical models with ‘science’. We are assaulted with the destructive arcana and tautological calculations used by the cult of Relativity as described on this substack in various posts. Because the cat jumped does not mean that Relativity is true. Relativity has no connection with physical, mechanical proofs or experimentation.
If we address philosophy, we know that in reality, in our world, the word ‘science’ has come to mean nothing. It is now defined as the ‘right answer’, as demanded by the ‘Enlightenment’ theory of ‘reason’ uber-alles, sermonised to the peasants by the high priests of the Church of ‘The Science’. We live in the matrix of Saint Simon’s ‘Church of Reason’ where reason and rationality are not understood and are applied without definition.
Much of what is deemed rational is irrational, and much which is described as reasonable is unreasonable and unverifiable. More here
