Abstract

A theory of gravitation in flat space-time is applied to homogeneous, isotropic cosmological models. There are non-singular cosmological models. A natural interpretation is a non-expanding universe. The redshift is an intrinsic effect and not a Doppler effect. The universe contains only energy in the beginning, i.e. no matter exists. In the course of time matter and radiation are created from energy where the whole energy is conserved. Matter increases with time but a certain time after the beginning of the universe the creation of matter is finished and the universe appears like a static one. A modified Hubble law is considered which may explain the high redshifts of objects in the universe without the assumption of dark energy.

Highlights

  • Einstein’s general theory of relativity yields a singularity in the beginning of a homogeneous, isotropic universe

  • The redshift is interpreted as Doppler effect which yields the expansion of space

  • This is the mainstream interpretation of cosmological models studied by general relativity

Summary

Introduction

Einstein’s general theory of relativity yields a singularity in the beginning of a homogeneous, isotropic universe. A fast increase of the inhomogeneity in the matter dominated universe by flat space-time theory of gravitation is given in article [15]. This is important to explain the presently observed inhomogeneity in the universe. The theory of gravitation in flat space-time and the general theory of relativity are compared with one another from the theoretical point of view in article [16]. The existence of nearby quasars and galaxies with quite different redshifts is already stated by Arp [18] This is in agreement with the modified Hubble law in article [17]. Results about a non-singular, non-expanding universe can be found in the book [2]
