Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
Cosmic Background Radiation is used as a proof of the ‘Big Bang’ a discredited theory, where supposedly a singular ‘egg’ containing all the elements within the universe ‘exploded’, creating everything, including life on this planet, and this explosion left a radiation imprint in the cosmos. As previous posts have outlined, this theory and its CMB derivative is entirely fabricated and wrong. However, it is even worse for the Banging-faithful. CMB as properly understood, actually undermines and negates the Big Bang model. Hanging yourself on your own petard and all that.
The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) is radiation in the form of microwaves (the same which are produced in a microwave oven) which is supposedly the residual energy left over from the Big Bang that was said to have occurred 13.7 billion years ago. The original temperature of the Big Bang explosion was believed to have been about 3000 degrees Kelvin and this is said to have cooled down to the present 2.75° Kelvin of the CMB 13.7 billion years later as the universe expanded. No evidence exists for these suppositions, just models and thought experiments.
[A problem with this dogma is that our universe supposedly has a diameter of 93 billion light years, or roughly 550 billion-trillion miles. 13.7 billion years is not enough time for this distance to be created at the speed of light.]
In 1965, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson ‘discovered’ the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation or ‘CMB’. It was hailed as one of the greatest discoveries ‘ever’ (or ‘evah’ in climate-speak), ‘confirming’ the Catholic Fr. Georges Lemaître’s theory, from the 1930s (Penzias and Wilson, 1965).
There was, however, a generational-long history of CMB ‘discovery’, including Reber (d. 2002) whose discoveries in the early 1940s of the CMB were widely published in many peer-reviewed journals and the Canadian astronomer Andrew McKellar (1941) who discovered interstellar gas radiating at 3º Kelvin. The Americans Penzias and Wilson (1965) received credit for this ‘insight’ because they interpreted the CMB in line with the Big Bang theology - a burgeoning field with enormous financial support. But the ideas of CMB date to at least 1895. Forecasts of the temperature of CMB have been all over the place:
· In 1895, C. E. Guillaume, determined that the cosmic temperature (or CMB) should be 5° or 6° K (Guillaume, 1896).
· In 1926 Sir Arthur Eddington posited that the space between the heated bodies of the universe would cool down to a temperature slightly above absolute zero, and his chosen figure was between 2.8° and 3.18° K (Eddington, 1926).
· Seven years later (1933), Erhard Regener obtained the figure of 2.8° Kelvin, and stipulated that it was a homogeneous energy field.
· Nernst posited 0.75° Kelvin in 1938; Herzberg 2.3° K in 1941; Finlay-Freundlich, using the theory of “tired light” said it should be between 1.9° to 6° K.
One of the main tenets of the Big Bang theory is that the currently agreed 2.728ºK temperature is the result of radiation released in the reaction of electrons and protons that were in the process of forming hydrogen about one million years after the initial explosion. Since the temperature during this reactive state is said to have been 3,000 ºK, the resulting 2.728ºK is said to be the result of a hydrogen flash redshift factor of z = 1,000, although few have an explanation why there were no objects in the cosmos with z factors between 10 and 1000.
Sir Fred Hoyle dubbed this theory “The Big Bang” to register his scepticism regarding its scientific validity, although Hoyle tenaciously held to an equally weak view called “The Steady State” theory, which holds that the universe is infinite yet comes into being little by little (Physics Today, Nov 1982). Although Big Bang advocates claim that their theory predicted the existence of the CMB, their prediction was quite higher than the present 2.728° Kelvin as given in the list above (Gamow, 1961).
Few dispute the rather obvious fact that the CMB exists, but what is disputed is precisely why it exists and what it means. All in all, there is little to persuade the critical observer that a Big Bang produces the CMB, as opposed to merely the natural minimum of heat expected in a universe at equilibrium. As Andre Assis puts it:
Usually it is claimed that the CBR (cosmic background radiation) is a proof of the big bang and of the expansion of the universe as it had been predicted by Gamow and collaborators….However, we performed a bibliographic search and found something quite different from this view….we have found several predictions or estimations of this temperature based on a stationary universe without expansion, always varying between 2 K and 6 K. Moreover, one of these estimates [C. E. Guillaume] was performed in 1896, prior to Gamow’s birth in 1904! The conclusion is that the discovery of the CBR by Penzias and Wilson in 1965 is a decisive factor in favour of a universe in dynamical equilibrium without expansion, and against the big bang (Assis, pp. 189-190).
Not only can the CMB be shown to be unsupportive of the Big Bang theory, but it is obvious that the low Kelvin temperature is consistent with non-expanding models of the universe, e.g., geocentric models of the universe. This is anathema to ‘The Science’.
The reality that a low “residual energy” CMB invalidates the Big Bang and actually points to the Earth as the barycentre of the cosmos is sometimes admitted by ‘The Science’. Joseph Silk of the University of California (Berkeley) lamented:
Studies of the cosmic background radiation have confirmed the isotropy of the radiation, or its complete uniformity in all directions. If the universe possesses a center, we must be very close to it…” (Silk, pp. 399-400).
If observed anywhere else in the universe the CMB will appear heavily anisotropic (or heterogenous, dissimilar). If viewed from the Earth the CMB appears to be isotropic or homogenous. This cannot be tolerated by ‘The Science’, therefore there have been some furious attempts to dismiss this fact by presuming, in addition to its isotropy, that the universe is also homogeneous, since all Big Bang and Steady-State cosmologies require both isotropy and homogeneity (Ellis, p. 92). Yet this is not what their own evidence shows.
The Earth-viewed observation of CMB isotropy serves as the absolute frame of reference, anathema to Special Relativity and the cult of Einstein. But there it is. As V. J. Weisskopf states:
It is remarkable that we now are justified in talking about an absolute motion, and that we can measure it. The great dream of Michelson and Morley is realized….It makes sense to say that an observer is at rest in an absolute sense when the 3K radiation appears to have the same frequencies in all directions. Nature has provided an absolute frame of reference. The deeper significance of this concept is not yet clear (Weisskopf, 1983).
Einstein’s make-believe world of ‘Relativity’ relied on no absolutes, no frame of reference, no ether and no inconstancy in the speed of light, including the ‘acceleration’ of the universe pace the Big Bang dogma. He was wrong on every assumption. More here
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey or SDSS, now more than 25 years old, was financed and created to provide the most accurate mapping of the galaxies, quasars, and other objects in the universe to date. It is a long-running project currently in phase 5. Hundreds of astronomers, dozens of institutions and observatories from around the globe are involved mapping out hundreds of thousands of galaxies, quasars, objects and of course the ever-elusive ‘dark matter’, without which, the entirely of the Big Bang theology fails. In their own words, the Sloan Sky survey:
…will map in detail one-quarter of the entire sky, determining the positions and absolute brightnesses of more than 100 million celestial objects. It will also measure the distances to more than a million galaxies and quasars… The SDSS addresses fascinating, fundamental questions about the universe…will tell us which theories are right – or whether we have to come up with entirely new ideas.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a joint project of The University of Chicago, Fermilab, the Institute for Advanced Study, the Japan Participation Group, The Johns Hopkins University, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Max-Planck- Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics (MPA), New Mexico State University, University of Pittsburgh, Princeton University, the United States Naval Observatory, and the University of Washington. Funding for the project has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the participating institutions, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Japanese Monbukagakusho, and the Max Planck Society.
A long list of the great and good institutions. The ‘establishment’ of academic cosmology no less. Yet as they declare in their mission statement, creating and developing new ideas will need to be undertaken, along with the decommissioning of the Big Bang religion and much of Copernicanism. The SDSS simply does not support either. Not that anyone is told this.
In fact, ‘The Science’ as it always has done when faced with evidence which eviscerates its dogma, will simply declare that the observations in fact support and confirm their theology! Indeed, it is ‘exactly as they expected’. We have heard the same for 200 years from the drugs-pharmaceutical industry, not to mention the non-sciences of evolution, medicine, virology, space exploration, and climate theology. In every sphere and cult within ‘The Science’ the above declarations are the standard mantra. Just ignore the evidence, obfuscate, issue propaganda, delete evidence and declare in ever-so confident tones that ‘The Science’ has been vindicated. After this confident assertion, supported by tortured data sets, collect your money.
By 2003, the SDSS had already discovered that the Earth seemed to be in the center of the known universe. Since then, the data has simply accumulated in support of this observation. However, howls of outrage and name-calling are sure to follow if this idea is either distributed or worse believed. But there it is.
The SDSS confirms that the Earth in the center of two wedge-shaped galaxy segments near the ‘barycenter’ or center of universal mass. The SDSS also shows that galaxy density decreases as the distance from Earth increases, implying a concentric proportion leading to the Earth. This means that the Bangers cannot use the excuse that the view if from the observer, namely our Earth, and therefore ‘distorts’ the known universe’s map.
If one were to perform a similar survey from another part of the universe, these concentric proportions would not appear. This means that the centrality of Earth provided by the Sloan Digital Survey is thus consistent with the quantization of redshift values that have been accumulated for five decades or more (Varshni, Alp). Once again, the ‘Copernican Principle’ is violated and no proof whatsoever can be offered in its defense. The ‘Copernican Principle’, is simply that the Earth is an unimportant little flattened spheroid at the centre of nothing and therefore by extension, humans are a blind chance artefact of no great import, probably evolved from panspermic space dust.
But the facts don’t support this misanthropy or its associated dogma. Concentricity and the heterogeneous distribution of galaxies are in defiance of mainstream cosmology’s claims and models including its vaunted ‘Copernican Principle’. The fact that the universe is not isotropic and does not show the same properties in every direction, as predicted by this ‘Principle’, means we have an anisotropic or heterogenous universe. Given these facts, if the observer view was to change from the Earth to somewhere else in the universe, we can see that the mathematical theorems underlying galaxy formation are wrong and this viewer would conclude that the Earth is at the center. Astronomer Harold Slusher wrote:
If the distribution of galaxies is homogeneous, then doubling the distance should increase the galaxy count eightfold; tripling it should produce a galaxy count 27 times as large. Actual counts of galaxies show a rate substantially less than this. If allowed to stand without correction, this feature of the galaxy counts implies a thinning out with distance in all directions, and that we are at the very center of the highest concentration of matter in the universe….This would argue that we are at the center of the universe.
When galaxy counts are adjusted for dimming effects, it appears that the number of galaxies per unit volume of space increases with distance. From this we still appear to be at the center of the universe, but now it coincides with the point of least concentration of matter (Slusher, pp. 12-13).
SDSS data, which again confirms anisotropy and heterogeneity, contradicts the Copernican Principle and what Bang theology predicts and demands. More here
Energy = mass (x) the speed of light squared. There are many problems with this equation, which Einstein did not invent, but interpreted as part of his fantasy world of Relativity. Prior to Einstein, various physicists including Isaac Newton, Jules Henri Poincaré, and Olinto De Pretto had proposed the equation. Einstein derived the equation starting from the result of relativistic variation of light energy. He appropriated the equation and its concepts without due attribution – which was a distinctive Einsteinian feature. Why bother acknowledging the work of others? He rarely if ever did.
This short post will briefly describe the basic mistakes within the E=MC2 equation. Many other posts go through the 1905 Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and why it is wrong (you can start with the fact that space is not a vacuum). This post will add to these postulates.
STR as a theory is at its core, riddled with paradoxes and contradictions (see Herbert Dingle for the clock paradox). So too is Einstein’s interpretation of E=MC2. Einstein took this simple equation and then contorted it with paradoxical ideas of mass and energy.
What does the equation mean?
Einstein’s general interpretation, kE=MC2 defines a relationship between mass and kinetic energy.
1. when a body of mass is accelerated it gains mass and energy
2. when a body of mass is decelerated it loses mass and energy
3. the mass increase/decrease for all matter is proportional to each body’s kinetic energy (relative to a common position of rest for all matter)
What does this actually mean? For Einstein in this interpretation of E=MC2, energy and mass coexist together. The key is the kinetic energy for that body and its mass. If we take an object and accelerate it at a given velocity, the kinetic energy in that velocity will contribute to the overall mass of that body. This is achieved through ‘Joules’ or the measurement of kinetic energy. One Joule has a mass of 10-17 kg. A kilogram of mass will therefore weigh 1017 Joules. In this interpretation a Joule of energy is a quantity of energy, and it is also a quantity of mass. Thus, bodies in motion will possess both Joules of kinetic energy and Joules of kinetic mass. If the body in motion slows down, it will be losing kinetic energy, and Joules. Its mass should therefore decrease as well.
Einstein refused to accept this. He did not believe in deceleration to be a meaningful measurement or concept which can be independently differentiated from an acceleration. He also did not believe that an absolute position of rest could be determined because the mass changes caused by motion, in his view, can never be measured locally. Einstein did not believe in any absolutes as there are anathema to STR. All of these suppositions are simply wrong.
Einstein never performed experiments. He was a thought philosopher with mathematical skills. Einstein’s did not understand that the primary meaning of E=MC2 is to define the mass of photons (light) as the truest measure of a mass (the base as it were of mass measurement). Einstein arbitrarily declared, based on his own ego one assumes, that the photon was a particle without mass. This error now permeates all of science. It is absurd. A particle with no mass would have no momentum or motion.
All particles have mass. Photons have a mass of at least 10-50 kg.
In his thought experiments Einstein used Planck’s Constant to make the transformation between the mass of an atom and the energy of a massless photon. By failing to give the photon mass, he was unable to divide Planck’s constant into its component parts h=MλC, namely that the mass of a photon times its wavelength times the speed of light. Rejecting the mass of the photon completely upends the point of E=MC2.
If we admit that the photon has a mass, there is no case where that mass is converted into energy.
· Any mass will have energy that can be measured
· Energy has mass that can be weighed
· Mass and energy by definition cannot be separated into the mass of matter and the energy of photons
We can conclude that mass and energy are the two primary parameters of both matter and photons. One cannot exist without the other. There is no such thing as the long cherished metaphysical idea ‘pure energy’. Back on planet Earth we only have pure ‘mass-energy’.
Positrons and anti-matter are discussed in some other posts. Positrons were discovered from 1928-1932 and Einstein could never wrap his head around the concept that antimatter and positrons were the latticework of space. Space has never been a ‘vacuum’. Space is full of antimatter and positrons which are real particles with real mass. This means that matter cannot be converted into energy.
How does this work?
· Photons are produced by atoms
· Photons are made from equal pieces of positive matter (proton) and negative matter (electron).
· Neither a proton nor an electron can produce a photon by itself
· A photon is the result of a joint effort between a proton and an electron with each contributing an equal amount of their mass and energy to make the photon
In this process, the creation of a photon (light particle), requires an equal quantity of positive matter (positron) and negative matter (electron). There is no way to convert ordinary matter into photons except in the extremely small quantities produced by atomic radiation.
A core tenet of STR is that there is nothing in space, just a frictionless vacuum. We know this is entirely wrong. You can start with radiation which permeates space and makes speace travel impossible. Radiation has energy and mass. Beyond this the universe is absolutely filled with positive matter (protons) and negative matter (electrons).
The problem for Einstein’s view of mass and energy is that when two particles couple together to form a hydrogen atom for example, they emit a series of photons in a process that begins very much like the annihilation between a positron and electron. Both the proton and the electron will lose equal amounts of mass to the emitted photons as they drop down into the ground state where the process stops and the atom becomes stable. Einstein never supported antimatter nor the real process of photon creation.
Einstein failed to understand that all photons travel at C (speed of light which we know can vary through the ether), through the same inertial reference frame (inertial meaning the existing motion of the object) and not just relative to observers. Einstein made the speed of light relative to the observer’s frame. While it is true, as Einstein claimed, that all observers will measure the speed of light to be (c) in any frame, it is not true they measure the same quantity.
Einstein never proved his assumption of ‘relative’ motion, which by itself is wrong. The Doppler effect (measuring the relative motion between a source and observer), means that we can measure the difference between acceleration and deceleration, and between motion and rest. Just because Einstein never bothered to measure absolute rest, does not mean that absolute rest does not exist. For example, there is the absolute motion of photons which Einstein ignored. If photons move with absolute motion, then the motion of matter must also be absolute. Einstein should have known that:
· M=E/C2 (to rearrange the equation) which defines a body of matter’s excess mass associated with its absolute motion through rest
· When a body of matter is accelerated to any velocity (v) relative to this frame, its mass increases with its kinetic energy KE=MC2
· At a velocity of about 86% of the speed of light, a body’s mass is doubled with a kinetic mass that is equal to its rest mass
The above can only occur within a single frame of reference for all matter. We know that matter gains mass when it is accelerated, and it also gives up that mass when it is decelerated. All photons and all electrons in a given reference frame have identical masses.
Therefore, a precious tenet of Einstein’s theorems and STR, that there are no absolutes, is fundamentally wrong. The most basic mistake was made by Einstein, namely, by using the Doppler effect he concluded that all motion itself was intrinsically relative. Einstein failed to believe in a fixed frame that connected all forms of motion. However, with a more careful look at the Doppler effect, one must conclude that a common absolute motion for all photons must exist.
That E=MC2 is wrong will never be taught at school or shown in the science propaganda. Despite the rather basic mistakes of Einstein, ‘The Science’ has enshrined this equation to demi-god status. Yet it is utterly incorrect and leads real science down the wrong path.
This equation also has nothing much to do with ‘nuclear fusion’ or fission, which is the oft-cited ‘proof’ of the equation. Nuclear reactions do not support the theorem for the reasons outlined in this post. As well the ‘mass’ used in the equation must exist. Only existing matter can create matter. Einstein’s fantasy world rejected this, believing that matter can magically be called upon to appear. This alone negates the equation, but the postulates in this post add further weight to why the equation is of little use.
E=MC2 is another classic example of Scientism.
As previous posts have summarised, space is full of particles, matter, and fields. Radiation by itself contains form, energy, and material. Since the medieval period this complex of matter in space was termed an ‘ether’’. Einstein’s STR dogma that the ‘ether’ does not exist is wrong and that by itself nullifies his relativity theory which was an attempt to ‘relativise’ away the literally thousands of experiments from 1810 to his time, which did not find Earth mobility or a diurnal rotation. The ‘ponderable’ ether also abrogates the world’s most famous scientific equation E = mc2. This equation is simply wrong.
The micro-world of atoms and particles is still a recent discovery when viewed historically. The electron was discovered in 1897 by J. J. Thomson; the proton in 1911 by Rutherford, Wein, et al., the neutron in 1932 by James Chadwick, and the positron was first identified in 1928 by Paul Dirac and confirmed in 1932 by the American Carl Anderson (1905-1991).
Anderson and Victor Heiss of Austria won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1936 for the discovery of the positron, the first known particle of ‘antimatter’. Positrons are electrons ejected from atoms by interaction with high-energy photons (or light particles). Anderson arrived at his discovery through his intensive research into gamma, x-rays and cosmic rays. While studying photographs of cosmic rays in cloud-chambers, Anderson discovered a number of tracks whose orientation indicated they were caused by positively charged particles, but particles too small to be protons.
In 1932 Anderson announced that the particles were ‘positrons’ or particles with the same mass as electrons but positively charged. Paul Dirac had predicted their existence in 1928. Anderson’s claim was verified the next year by the British physicist Patrick M. S. Blackett. In 1937, Anderson would also discover the short-lived meson. Theoretical discoveries have named some two hundred more nuclear particles, but most, like the meson, are unstable.
In his discovery of the positron, Anderson found that when gamma radiation of no less than 1.022 million electron volts (MeV) was discharged in any point of space, an electron and positron emerged from that point. Anderson also found the converse to be true, that when an electron collides with a positron, the two particles disappear, and produce two gamma-ray quanta which disperse in opposite directions, but with a combined energy of 1.022 MeV. As one set of authors describe his discovery:
“On August 2, 1932, Anderson obtained a stunningly clear photograph that shocked both men. Despite Millikan’s protestations, a particle had indeed shot up like a Roman candle from the floor of the chamber, slipped through the plate, and fallen off to the left. From the size of the track, the degree of the curvature, and the amount of momentum lost, the particle’s mass was obviously near to that of an electron. But the track curved the wrong way. The particle was positive. Neither electron, proton, or neutron, the track came from something that had never been discovered before. It was, in fact, a “hole,” although Anderson did not realize it for a while. Anderson called the new particle a “positive electron,” but positron was the name that stuck. Positrons were the new type of matter – antimatter – Dirac had been forced to predict by his theory.” (Crease and Mann, ed., T. Ferris, p. 78)
An exciting discovery. As with all ‘Science’ the key is the interpretation of what happened. Given the above description a valid inference is the following:
· space is composed of a lattice of very stable electron- positron pairs
· when the proper quanta of radiation are administered, these pairs will either temporarily deform the lattice or jolt the electrons and positrons out of alignment and release them into the view of our bubble chambers
This is what Anderson’s discovery amounts to. There is no need to invent magical processes of ex-nihilo matter creation. But of course, such an explanation is a problem for ‘The Science’. It disproves Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (STR), much in vogue and well-funded by 1932, and the emerging (at that time) quantum mechanics model of the micro-universe (which also disproves STR but few are aware of this). Anderson, like many others, had mechanically proven that space was not a void – it contained material and lots of it, a fact we know today to be true.
After Anderson’s discovery two eminent philosophers-of-science, Einstein and Werner Heisenberg weighed in. Einstein needed to save Relativity and Heisenberg quantum mechanics. Relativity theory believes that there is a physical relationship between energy and matter and that space is a vacuum containing no ‘ponderable ether’, to quote Einstein. We know that both assumptions are wrong. But few will have been told this.
In viewing Anderson’s 1932 result Einstein had no choice but to conclude that the appearance and disappearance of the electron-positron pair was an example, as he called it, “of the creation and annihilation of matter.” This ex-nihilo creation of matter is still the strongest proof for the formula E = mc2 or Energy is equal to mass of an object times the speed of light squared. Not only could energy magically become mass, but mass could magically transform into energy. This formula has become the standard interpretation of all subatomic particles. It is pure speculation and it is wrong.
Einstein’s equation E = mc2 gives the amount of energy E that can be obtained if a mass m is completely turned into energy. This relation can be turned around: if two gamma rays with total energy E collide, they may produce a mass m. However, this is only possible if particles whose masses are m or less can be created (visible light cannot turn into matter because there are no particles with small enough masses). The smallest-mass particles are electrons (negatively charged) and positrons (positively charged), each with a mass corresponding to 0.511 MeV of energy.
The standard ‘Science’ description of how E=Mc2, and how matter is created ex-nihilo, is the following.
