What observational evidence and math would that be? When I do the math, the "Guth Inflation" blows up a very small universe to one with a radius of 10 cm in a very short time. That is not "logic," it is simple math. How do these 10 extra cm do anything to solve the flatness and the horizon...

According to NASA/WMAP (wmap.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_matter.html), the average density — that is, all known and hypothesizied matter evenly spread (“averaged”) over all known space — ρ ≈ 9.9×10–30 g cm–3 ≈ 5.9 protium atoms/m3 (with only 4.6% of this being “normal baryonic matter” (!), that...

Indeed? What would Newton say about acceleration without force? We know that a = F/m. So, unless some new physics is involved, we need F to act upon m in order to get a. You claim this is not necessary. A rather hefty claim, IMO. Could you elaborate on how this would work?

Well, if space is expanding, energy must be coming from somewhere, in order to keep a supply of "vacuum energy". The question is, from where is this energy coming? Further, if "space expands faster than light," how is the needed "delay" in providing the ZPF energy dealt with?

Thanks, I am somewhat familiar with those. What I'm asking for (because I cannot find it anywhere) is: where do these equations predict lightspeed expansion?

Of course: the rockets ar moving -- just how is that "rocket analogy" relating to galaxies (with (usually) very small "peculiar motion")? It would also be nice if you (or someone) could point me to the relativity equations that "predict" that "expansion at light speed" is taking place to begin...

Intriguing... What new physical force is it that "glues" the galaxies to this "space" thing, so they get "dragged along" as the "space thing" expands? It has to be way stronger than the gravity holding the galaxies in place to begin with... A second question that screams for an answer is: Where...

As I don't know (yet) how to edit earlier posts, I comment my own post: The Mass was of course given as 1053 kg.

This is an oft claimed feature of "inflation," but I have yet to see an explanation of how this would work. What, exactly, becomes "much larger than the observable universe," and at what timeframe? Alan Guth's original (simple?) claim was an expansion factor of "at least 1026," which would make...

IF the CMB is the light from "the last scattering" at T0+378,000 years, I don't quite understand how there can be something "behind" that (as the image above implies, where "our" Universe is inside a 46.5 Gly sphere)... Have scientists finally come to their senses, and given up on the "big...

A black hole with a mass of ≈ 8.7×1052 kg would have Schwarzschild radius rS ≈ 13.7 billion lightyears... According to NASA/WMAP, that is a somewhat reasonable "Mass of the Universe" estimate... Is there a message hidden here, somehow? The formula is simple: rS (in meter) = 2GM/c2, where G is...

So there was no "big bang" after all? That's a relief, as that whole "fiat lux" creationist idea never made any sense at all.

If "The singularity was not known to be infinite density," does that mean that all those references listed below are wrong? And as you imply knowledge, can you please guide me to a site where I too can learn? The key question that I have is still "If density is near-infinite, can there really...

"Time Travel" won't be possible, ever. Primarily because time does not really exist, only "now"... We perceive a "flow of time" only because we can "remember the past" in various ways, and because we can project our thoughts into (plan for) "the future." In a Universe where "time travel" is...

Coulomb’s (electric force, electrostatic) constant (symbol κ (kC, ke)) is a proportionality constant, expressed as: κ ≡ kC ≡ ke = 1/(4πε0) = 8987551787.36818 N•m2/C2 (exactly) κ can also be derived from lightspeed squared divided by ten million (c2/107)... Can someone please help me...
