Right, Garth, another interesting piece of work gradualy adding plausibility to a non-accelerating universe in the present epoch.

But this is the point: The Steady Flow model is linear in growth in recent times, while it follows standard dynamics for the early universe.

This is neither the paper we were talking about, nor the same model. You are deliberatelly confusing different things and ideas just to desprestige a model that fits the data as well as LCDM.

You'd better avoid adjectives such as dreck to disqualify, reject or dismiss the peer reviewed work of other authors. The paper does not use Newtonian arguments to suggest that matter should not impact the expansion rate, because matter really does.

I guess that you refer to observational support when you say experimental support. I hope it will arrive in the near future. I am also open to collaboration in order to develop a better physical model...

Thank you, Garth an Wabbit for the great job. Well, I agree that both models seem to fit similarly with data and that more measurements are needed to decide in favor of one of them (as usual). Notice, however, that two "free" parameters are needed to obtain the fitting for the LCDM model...

I would like to point out that H(z) measurements compiled in this last paper also point to a linear expanding universe. So do data reported in: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.5405v1.pdf

Hi Garth, Thank you for your interest. You can download it in here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251572020_steady_flow_cosmological_model By the way, primordial nucleosynthesis is not an issue in the Steady Flow model...

Just to enrich the discussion, we have published a model conciling a linear expansion universe today, and for most of their history, with an early decelerating universe close to the standard model, so that the most salient features of observational cosmology are accommodated, avoiding the age...

There are more than one way to get neutrons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_source (Incidentally: Could some nuclear waste be used in order to do so?) In case a nuclear reactor was the best choice, there is a reason of scale: A much smaller reactor is required to produce enough neutrons...

I would like to ask if any of you can comment on the thermal neutron activation of lithium in order to produce energy as a cold fusion-like process?

Could you provide any reference directly linking the spectrum of the CMB and the deceleration phase? As fas as I know the very existence of CMB only demonstrates that at some moment in the past the temperature was high enough to keep the universe matter in a state of plasma... Marcus, thanks...

Thank you, but the different and consistent measurements of the Hubble parameter only determine the present rate of expansion, without saying nothing about the past or the future rates (in fact similar figures were obtained before SNe Ia observations ruling out deceleration at...

There is a consensus on a slight acceleration of the expansion in our epoch, mainly from supernovae Ia measurements, but is there any evidence (apart from results from more distant supernovae) allowing to rule out the possibility that the universe had been expanding eternally with a tiny...

The analogy described seems reasonable and clarifying to me. However, the amount of ordinary matter within the observable universe results to be similar to the amount of energy lost by CBR since decoupling... Just an accident by mere chance? or perhaps a kind of new coincidence problem in...
