New Galaxy Redshift Distance Record (z=11) Seriously Threatens Big Bang models
A new record distance to a huge galaxy named GN-z11 has been observed and measured. It is dramatically farther than the previous distance holder. The constantly amazing Hubble Space telescope measured its distance spectroscopically at a Spectral line Redshift of … Continue reading

Accelerating Universe ? — Not so Fast*
Maybe the rush to embrace an Accelerating Universe and Dark Energy was a bit too hasty. New analysis shows that the rulers used to measure Supernova 1A brightness curves were unknowingly measuring two different types of Supernova 1As (1) with … Continue reading
New Cosmology Book: “Relational Mechanics and Implementation of Mach’s Principle with Weber’s Gravitational Force”
The perpetually fascinating Andre Assis has just published a new cosmology book entitled — “Relational Mechanics and Implementation of Mach’s Principle with Weber’s Gravitational Force” by Apeiron, Montreal, 2014. (542 pages, 26 Chapters, 3 Appendices, 340 figures and 595 references.) … Continue reading
Stunning Finding Supports Static Universe: 11 billion years ago we had same Ratio of Old (red) to New (blue) Galaxies
A research team led by Bomee Lee of University of Massachusetts reported that ~11 billion years ago large galaxies had the same ratio of young (blue) to old (red) galaxies. Galaxies can be objectively divided into two types: Blue means … Continue reading
The Universe’s children: Born as lively teenagers and older than their parents!
(c) Copyright 2013 Louis MarmetThe WMAP estimate of the age of the Universe, 13.77 ± 0.06 Gyr (billion years), is challenged once again by two recent publications. The study of a nearby star shows that it is older than the … Continue reading
Complex Computer Programs Weaken COBE Cosmic Microwave “Background” Claim
Oxymoron: “Bug-Free Software” The $500 million dollar European satellite carrying Ariane-5 rocket blew up 37 seconds into its first launch – because of a one line software bug. The $1.4 billion US Air Force B-2 bomber wouldn’t fly on its … Continue reading
Key Cosmology Experiments: Original Papers-Full Text. Part 1
One hundred years ago this Spring, the first article on galaxy Spectral-line Redshifts was published by Vesto Slipher which dramatically changed cosmology. However, few have ever read this original paper, or the several other articles and books considered cosmology landmarks … Continue reading

Will a Higgs Boson Discovery be Announced in July?
Today I ran across lots of excited rumors on Particle Physics websites that a Higgs boson might be announced at the upcoming International Conference on High Energy Physics in Australia. (The Higgs Boson is a never-observed particle that allegedly “give … Continue reading

Rubber Rulers: Fundamental Astrophysics Distance Tool Not Constant
News: A fundamental astrophysics distance tool called Cepheid stars are newly discovered to vary in brightness and mass with age. “Everything crumbles in cosmology studies if you don’t start up with the most precise measurements of Cepheids possible,” said Cepheid … Continue reading
