JWST finds "Red Dots", and astronomers confused by "Dark Comets"

JWST finds red dots, which are simply explained as galaxies so far back that they disprove the "Big Bang" -- so standard theorists try to invent more new and exotic mechanisms to save big bang cosmology. Closer to home, "dark comets" are simply rocky objects with no off-gassing in very eccentric orbits. Their accelerations that do not fit into standard gravitational theory are mistakenly labelled as "non-gravitational" acceleration. In fact they are gravitational -- as predicted in section 8 of the paper on CGC -- Cyclic Gravity and Cosmology. In this section, it was predicted that any object in any eccentric orbit would display this signature.

The Giant Ring -- another large scale structure that should not be there

The same team that discovered the giant arc has discovered a giant ring. Both of these structures should not have been able to form according to standard Cosmology. We take a look at Ethan Siegel's claim that these may be artifacts. We then take a look at the Dart impact on the Dimorphos asteroid, and what it might mean according to Cyclic Gravity and Cosmology (CGC). Then we propose an experiment that might be done here on Earth to prove or disprove CGC.

Conical galactic outflows challenge standard gravitational theory

Taurus report comments upon research this past month on conical, bi-polar galactic outflows. These are consistent with the way that Cyclic Gravity and Cosmology (CGC) presents Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as re-cycling matter in the universe. Standard theory does not explain the shape nor the reason for these outflows, while CGC does explain them.

One year on: How is the Hot Big Bang (HBB) GR-LCDM model faring given this past year's JWST observations?

I discuss this topic with Scientist Lee Greer, who maintains the enlightenmentlegacy web site.

Unexpected patterns in the redshift. Also: Monster Stars are latest GR-LCDM fantasy

GR-LCDM ignores periodicity in the redshift of observed galaxies because they can not explain it. They also can not explain how early galaxies have a normal distribution of metals. They try to deal with this by inventing another unobserved fantasy: Monster Stars.

Season 1

Why did general relativity seem so convincing?

GR predicted the precession of Mercury, and similar time dilation and increase-of-mass, both in a gravity well and at relativistic velocity. CGC presents a better way to explain these things. We also take a look at some new papers that try to explain recent JWST observations.

What Einstein got right, and what he got wrong

I discuss the Michelson-Morely experiment and also Maxwell’s determination of the speed of light. Each of these presented a problem for physicists’ understanding of how light is propagated. I compare how Lorentz attempted to solve these problems, with how Einstein attempted to solve them. Next week’s episode will explain why I think that Lorentz will eventually be proven correct.

Wheels within wheels

Babylonians invented one heartbeat = one second. 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 360 days in a year. They sought to connect the movements of the heavens with the human heartbeat. In this episode we begin tracing the history of astronomy. Along the way, we cover the epicycles of Ptolemy – the famous “Wheels within wheels …”

Solving triangles algebraically

Solving a triangle using quatern measure demonstrates that the analogue trig functions for quaterns are algebraic. This means that vectors, rotations, solving triangles, cross and dot products, etc can all be done without transcendental functions. With quaterns they are all exact and algebraic.

CGC can explain cosmic magnetic fields

CGC presents gravity as a relic of the electromagnetic force due to charge fluctuations in macro-objects that are overall charge-neutral. This same presentation of gravity also explains the mysterious existence of the magnetic fields observed spanning the cosmos.
