New Cosmology Idea - Is it Too Simple?

In summary, the conversation discusses a theoretical scenario of the expanding universe and the potential effects it may have on the observed redshift and blueshift of objects. The idea is that as the universe expands, the "skin" of the expanding sphere also gets thinner, causing objects on the "y" axis to appear blue shifted and objects on perpendicular axes to appear red shifted. However, there is a question of whether this explanation is too simplistic to account for anomalies in the data that do not fit current models. Personal theories are not welcome in this forum.

This may not be a new idea, I haven't read it anywhere else. Imagine the big bang scenario. Imagine an expanding sphere, like a bubble. Imagine that the "skin" of the sphere is thick, say thirty billion lightyears and as the sphere expands, the "skin" gets thinner. Imagine a coordinate system within the "skin" such that the "y" axis is perpendicular to the "outside" and"inside" of the "skin" and of course other axes are perpendicular to "y". Place yourself at the origin of this coordinate system and what do you see ? Objects "above" and "below" you on the y-axis are blue shifted as the sphere expands the skin contracts and objects drawn nearer. Objects on any axis perpendicular to y are red shifted as the sphere expands. This is fairly easy to visualize. But is it too simplistic to account for anomalies in the data that will not fit current models? Anybody ?

I find this new cosmology idea intriguing and worth exploring. While it may seem simple on the surface, it is important to remember that some of the most groundbreaking theories and discoveries in science have come from seemingly simple ideas.

However, before we can determine whether this idea can account for anomalies in data that do not fit current models, further research and analysis would be needed. The concept of an expanding sphere with a thick "skin" and a coordinate system within it is a good starting point, but there are many factors and complexities that would need to be considered in order to fully develop and test this idea.

For example, we would need to take into account the effects of dark matter and dark energy, as well as the influence of gravity and other forces on the expansion of the sphere. We would also need to consider how this idea fits with other established theories and observations in cosmology.

Overall, I believe that this new cosmology idea has potential and should be further explored and tested. It may not be the complete answer to all anomalies in current models, but it could potentially contribute to our understanding of the universe and help us to develop more accurate and comprehensive theories.
 

1. What is the new cosmology idea and why is it being considered?

The new cosmology idea proposes that the universe is not expanding and that there is no need for dark energy to explain the observed acceleration of the expansion. It is being considered because it challenges the current standard model of cosmology and offers a simpler explanation for the observed phenomenon.

2. How is this new cosmology idea different from the current standard model?

The current standard model of cosmology, called the Lambda-CDM model, includes the concepts of dark energy and an expanding universe. The new cosmology idea rejects these concepts and suggests that the universe is instead static and filled with aether, a hypothetical substance that fills all of space.

3. What evidence supports this new cosmology idea?

The main evidence supporting this new cosmology idea comes from the observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, which is the leftover heat from the Big Bang. The CMB data shows a lack of large-scale temperature fluctuations, which is inconsistent with the predictions of the standard model.

4. What are the potential implications of this new cosmology idea?

If the new cosmology idea is proven to be true, it would have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It would require a major revision of current cosmological theories and could potentially lead to new insights and discoveries about the nature of space, time, and the universe as a whole.

5. What challenges or criticisms does this new cosmology idea face?

One major criticism of this new cosmology idea is that it goes against a large body of observational and theoretical evidence that supports the current standard model. Additionally, the concept of aether, which is a crucial component of the idea, is not supported by any experimental evidence, making it a controversial and unproven concept.
