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

Is the search for “Dark Matter” over ? Gigantic amounts of missing matter found hiding as faint Red Dwarf stars.
Yes. The search for “Dark Matter” is over. Its been found thanks to the Dokkum and Conroy team. We can all go celebrate, and then get back to work. And it was staring us right in the face all along … Continue reading
Book Review: “The Higgs Fake: How Particle Physicists Fooled the Nobel Committee”
I’m painfully aware of abundant serious problems in physics of the largest phenomena, meaning “Standard” Cosmology-astrophysics (Big Bang/LCDM). Those include definitional and procedural problems, along with fundamental substantive errors and logical flaws likely created and nurtured by serious cognitive biases. … 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

Oldest Spiral galaxy BX442 supports Hubble’s belief: Redshift does not mean expansion
(c) Copyright 2012 Louis Marmet A team of astronomers have reported the discovery of the oldest spiral galaxy known so far. What makes this discovery interesting is that this grand-design spiral galaxy already existed 3 billion years after the Big … Continue reading

Dark Matter Missing in Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies – after thorough searches
Gigantic pillars of Big Bang are creaking and starting to collapse like colossal dominoes. These are tumultuous times in Cosmology. The voice you hear getting louder is Brünnhilde practicing Götterdämmerung in describing the fruitless and essentially completed search for a … Continue reading
Your Cosmology Hypotheses Invited
This is an invitation for you to submit your own Cosmology hypotheses for publication on this website. You should get thoughtful responses from the several thousand readers of this website.
Is Dark Matter “The Emperor’s New Clothes?”
“To claim that you have simulated the Big Bang is like a schoolboy claiming after winning a high jump medal that he is close to jumping on to the moon.” Esteemed Cosmologist Professor Emeritus Jayant V. Narlikar reports from a … Continue reading

Inflation’s Problems explained well
Here’s a very clear article in (relatively) plain English explaining problems with the Cosmological Inflation conjecture by Sean Carroll in Discovery Magazine. While I disagree with the author’s conclusion that the final ingredients of a “settled” cosmology hypothesis will include … Continue reading

Elusive Dark Matter Idea Evaporating
NewScientist reports that “NASA’s FERMI satellite has confirmed a previous hint that there is more antimatter than expected coming from space. The bad news is that the result strongly almost certainly rules out Dark Matter as the source.”

Ethan Siegel Makes Science Errors, Corrects One
(Update: July 20, 2011 – Today Mr. Siegel corrected his article where it had wrongly claimed my article had quoted Professor P.J.E. Peebles “out of context.”) While Ethan Siegel generally does a good job illuminating science, he recently wrote a … Continue reading

Article on Big Bang’s Inadequate Definition Disputed – But Article Emerges Unscathed
I just found a critique by Ethan Siegel implying that there is some flaw in my article explaining Big Bang’s lack of an adequate scientific definition and hypothesis (titled “International Astronomical Union has no Definition for Big Bang“). While flattering … Continue reading
