The Big Bang Theory may have been disproved
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The Big Bang Theory that has informed all of modern cosmology and science down to the origins of space, time, and life, has hit a major snag: it's probably all wrong. Thanks to observations by Halton Arp, the use of redshifting to determine distances between objects in space -- and the premise behind the Big Bang -- has proven to be incorrect. Having found supposedly distant quasars in front of nearby galaxies, the Big Bang may be snuffed out.
You'd never know it from official news releases, but the Big Bang is broken and can't be fixed.
The Big Bang has lost its theoretical foundation, which was the Doppler interpretation of redshift (linking redshift to the stretching of light wavelengths as objects move away from us).
It is now known that, while almost all observed galaxies are redshifted, the Doppler interpretation of this shift does not provide a reliable measure of velocity or (indirectly) of distance.
Quasars, whose high redshift would place them at the outer edges of the visible universe, are in fact physically and energetically linked to nearby low-redshift active galaxies.
In the rise and fall of the Big Bang hypothesis no name looms with greater distinction than that of Halton Arp, the leading authority on peculiar galaxies.
For established science the greatest embarrassment could come from public realization that, for decades, astronomers suppressed the warning signs.
To his credit, Cornell astronomer Carl Sagan acknowledged the problem when he was writing Cosmos (published in 1980).
But in the following years the politically influential looked the other way, and the word quietly went out to science editors at major newspaper and news magazines that Arp had been fully answered and no more time was needed on the question.
While big bang theorists have cobbled together "explanations" for small-scale examples of the effect, the picture as a whole can only be illusory.
The failure of the Big Bang hypothesis could be the tipping point in the collapse of modern cosmology, with reverberations affecting all of the theoretical sciences.
Electric currents are required to sustain cosmic magnetic fields.
And now, everywhere we look we see magnetic fields at work: electricity is flowing across immense distances in space.
