Cosmology: Latest theories of everything (Introduction)

John: Hi David: Thanks for the comment on Crazy Cosmology. Though I must admit to a general, rather casual use of terminology, I disagree with the view that atheism is not an ideology. It is a doctrine, an orientation that characterises the thinking of a group or nation, or an Imaginary or visionary theorization of a Universe without a God. That is an ideology!

Yes, atheism is an ideology.

John: More nasty comments were directed at the ideas promoted by the Electric Universe people (very happy to be among them!) that space is far from empty and is composed of the fourth state of matter: plasma. Sadly, for them, even NASA accepts that it is fact!

Dr Dennis Gallagher, a plasma physicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, says "Very little material in space is made of rock like the Earth."

I ask ‘him’ to answer one question – without calling upon imaginary forces emanating from a totally imaginary pre-existing Universe, God or whatever.

Here it is:
How can the current Universe of millions of huge galaxies have been condensed into a ‘Singularity’? Failure to show how this can be done automatically destroys Big Bang theory.

I see you don't agree with the concept running the expansion of the universe backward, and feel that it is eternal and static. Very few folks seem to agree with you.

The Universe looked at as Eternal, with Redshift – as suggested by Hubble in his 1936 lectures - as a new principle of Nature and NOT representing utterly incredible speeds of recession would leave a virtually unchanging Universe.
But: in an eternally stationery Universe, none of current ‘theology’ would be even considered! AND no research money from commercial interests!

Certainly, an eternal universe would avoid theology. But I don't understand the 'commercial interests' comment. We are not going to colonize the universe.

John: The many ‘new’ effects that have been claimed as ‘evidence, would be more correctly interpreted only in the light of the already proven physical law. There is page after page of such rational explanation, which also acknowledges that they too are, as yet unproven ideas. That is real science and the ‘Establishment’ are scared stiff of it.
Its acceptance will entail (hopefully) the collapse their current fairy tale cosmology and their replacement by new age science and scientists.

Can you please give us some 'new age' websites to read?
