Beating the Big Bang – Version 2

Abstract

In “The Science Show” on Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Radio National” (July 4, 2020 - Robyn Williams says “Let's continue this quest into the weird and wonderful with Geraint Lewis's latest book, The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang).” Then Professor Lewis says, “What we wanted to lay out in the book that we have is essentially what is the observational evidence that astronomers used to build up the picture of the Big Bang theory, and outline that if you want your theory to supplant the Big Bang theory, you're going to have to explain this observational evidence as well as the Big Bang picture does, if not better, before scientists will take note. Number one fact; the night sky is dark. It's Olbers' paradox, it's one of the nice famous philosophical, scientific ideas. If your scientific theory can't explain that simple fact, you are already in trouble.” This article will address several points in its refutation of the Big Bang – Olbers’ paradox, Edwin Hubble, redshift, blueshift, the cosmic microwave background, gravitational waves, quantum entanglement, the quantizing of E=mc2, the First Law of Thermodynamics, the initially plausible (though, I conclude, ultimately incorrect) multiverse hypothesis, vector-tensor-scalar geometry, dark matter, dark energy, mass, quantum spin, the Higgs boson and Higgs field, bosons of the strong and weak nuclear forces, as well as advanced waves and retarded waves. It concludes with the Mobius strip, figure-8 Klein bottle, Wick rotation, Albert Einstein’s time dilation, and Rene Descartes’ space-matter relation. Following the advice of Dr. Luke Barnes (coauthor of The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook), I’ve refined my ideas - by adding about 1,500 words I previously wrote to explain the ideas better. This new section is called 'Interstellar, Intergalactic and Time Travel plus Simply-Connected and Nonorientable Topology' and all additions, such as these extra lines in the abstract and the new paragraph about dark matter and dark energy, are highlighted in yellow.
