AI Thread Summary
The discussion critiques an article challenging the Big Bang Theory, noting that it references outdated information, with key links dating back to 1977 and predominantly pre-1990 sources. The initial impression is that the arguments presented are no longer relevant, as many contradictions have been resolved with more recent observations. The commenter encourages others to conduct their own research before engaging further with the article's claims. Overall, the consensus leans toward dismissing the article as lacking in current scientific validity. The Big Bang Theory remains supported by more accurate and contemporary evidence.

I found an intriguing article (well seemingly intriguing; I didn't get to finish reading it) that argues against the BB:

Space news on Phys.org
My first impression was "this must have been written some time ago", as there were several references to apparent contradictions that have been resolved for several years now. Indeed, one of the key links on this page is to an article dated 1977 (!); another has references that are predominantly pre-1990 (many classics from the 1920s and 1930s; nothing wrong with that, just that some of the more recent, more accurate observations would have been nice).

If there's anything specific in this article you'd like to follow up on - after you've done some research yourself (google is a good assistant), just ask.

Otherwise, file this under 'nice try; pity that it didn't match observations' :-p
 

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Hubble Constant, Dark Energy and the Expanding Universe'

Why was the Hubble constant assumed to be decreasing and slowing down (decelerating) the expansion rate of the Universe, while at the same time Dark Energy is presumably accelerating the expansion? And to thicken the plot. recent news from NASA indicates that the Hubble constant is now increasing. Can you clarify this enigma? Also., if the Hubble constant eventually decreases, why is there a lower limit to its value?
