Distant Galaxies in the Non-Expanding (Euclidean) Universe: the Light Speed Redshift Pavle I. Premović Laboratory for Geochemistry, Cosmochemistry and Astrochemistry e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The superluminal speed of light coming from distant galaxies in the non-expanding (Euclidean) Universe may explain the redshift of that light. Keywords: universe, cosmology, Big Bang, galaxy, redshift, speed of light Introduction. Redshift and blueshift in cosmology are characterized by the relative difference between the observed and emitted wavelengths (or frequencies) of light (or in general electromagnetic radiation) which is sourced by an astronomical object such as a galaxy. The (wavelength-based) redshift is expressed z = (λG – λE)/λE where λG is the wavelength of light emitted by the source of the galaxy and λE is the wavelength of light generated by the same source on the Earth. If z > 0 then the galaxy’s light redshifted; if z < 0 the galaxy then its light blueshifted. Often, a blueshift is referred to as a negative redshift. Blueshift is rarely important, in contrast to the redshift which is of great use. The majority of distant galaxies (outside the Local Group: the total size about 10 Mly across) show a redshift in their spectra and we will mainly deal with them. According to cosmology, they are expanding in all directions away from the Earth and each other. There are at least three types of redshift that occur in the Universe: gravitational redshift, redshift due to motion (Doppler effect) and cosmological redshift. Gravitational redshift is rarely important, the other two are far more important in cosmology, especially cosmological redshift. In general, the Hubble Law shows that a redshift of a galaxy is correlated with its distance from the Earth. This law is only applicable to distant galaxies (or say for relatively long-distance galaxies); for nearby galaxies (in the Local Group), it does not hold. Most cosmologists believe that Hubble’s law indicates a constant cosmic expansion of the Universe. The simplest expression for the Hubble law valid for a redshift z ≤ 0.1 is DG = zc/H0 … (1) 5 -1 5 -1 where DG is the distance of distant galaxy to the Earth, c (= 2.99792×10 km s ~ 3×10 km s ) is the current speed of light and H0 is a constant known as the Hubble constant; at present time it 1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -18 -1 is estimated that H0 = 72 km sec (Mpc) or = 22 km sec × (Mly) [= 2.2(1) × 10 sec ]. This expression shows that there is a linear relationship between redshift z and distance of galaxies DG if the redshift z ≤ 0.1. This linearity however breaks down at large distances. Applying eqn. (1) -18 -1 we find that the Hubble distance, c/H0 = 13.6 Gly for H0 = 2.21 ×10 sec . Apparently, the Hubble distance provides the natural distance scale for the expanding Universe. Further details about Hubble’s law the reader may find in many standard astronomical textbooks and related publications. The Big Bang Universe vs. the non-expanding (static2) Universe. The (standard) Big Bang model of the Universe is based on the General theory of relativity. It states that the Universe started as a point singularity of infinite density and temperature that included all matter and energy of the current Universe. It then expanded rapidly over the next about 13.8 Gy to the current version. This is the expansion of space itself (or better of space-time itself) that is still occurring. It appears that the Big Bang hypothesis is supported by numerous evidence, including cosmological redshift.3 However, they can, also, be interpreted without this model. An alternative to the Big Bang model is the (standard) non-expanding model of the Universe. This Universe is unlimited in both space and time with no singular beginning or ending like in the Big Bang model. Many of their galaxies can be much older than about 13.8 Gy allowed by the Big Bang hypothesis. Lerner [2, and references therein] reported that the ultraviolet surface brightness data of galaxies, over a very wide redshift range, are in agreement with the hypotheses of the non-expanding (Euclidean) model of the Universe. A detailed analysis of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources performed by Sanejouand [3] suggests that the observable Universe has been Euclidean and static over the last 12 Gy. The non-expanding models of the Universe have serious difficulties in explaining many observations (for instance cosmological redshift). It appears now that the Big Bang theory is dominant in cosmology but it is still subjected to various criticisms and discussions, although most of them are theoretical. In the further text, we adopt the non-expanding (Euclidean) Universe (hereinafter NEEU) although some derivations and considerations may be applicable to other models of the non- expanding Universe. Varying speed of light. In the cosmological literature, the issue of speed of light in the early Universe is more recent. Troitskii [4] suggested that the speed of light continuously decreased over the lifetime of the Universe. He argued that at the origin of the Universe light might have traveled at 1010 times its current speed c. Albrecht and Magueijo [5] suggested that at a very limited time during the formation of the Universe the speed of light was much higher (about 1060 times) than its current speed c. Earlier, a similar idea was proposed by Moffat [6]. In contrast, Barrow [7] proposed that the speed of light has decreased from the value suggested by Albrecht and Magueijo down to its current value over the lifetime of the Universe. Sanejouand 11 megaparsec (Mpc) = 106 parsec = 3.26×106 ly. 2 We are referring to its geometry alone, i. e. static means non-expanding. 3 According to Soberman and Dubin [1], the Big Bang is supported by only two experimental observations, the cosmological redshift and the cosmic microwave background (CMB). 2 [8] hypothesized that the speed of light decreased by about 2 × 10-5 km sec-1 y-1 during the cosmological history of the Universe. All of these authors have shown that a number of intriguing cosmological issues associated with the Big Bang model could be unraveled by such a high initial speed of light. However, there are many problems in their theoretical approaches. This is not the place to deal with these issues. Instead, we recommend the reviews by Magueijo [9] and Farrell and Dunning-Davies [10] to the interested reader. It is important here to note that Alfonso-Faus [11] proposed a non-expanding explanation for cosmological redshift. He argues that this shift is due to a decreasing speed of light in the fractal universe. We hypothesize that the redshift of distant galaxies of NEEU is caused by the superluminal speed of their light, i. e. the speed of light coming from distant galaxies is greater than the current speed of light c. Derivation, results and discussion As we pointed out above, it appears that the cosmological redshift of distant galaxies arises from the uniform expansion of space (or better space-time itself), not from their motion. In this case, the energy EG (= hνG) of photons coming from distant galaxies is lower than the energy of -34 photons EE (= hνE) generated by the same source on the Earth; h (= 6.63 × 10 J sec) is the Planck constant and νE and νG are the appropriate frequencies. Of course, νE > νG. The difference 4 between these two energies is ΔEEG = EE – EG . Let us denote with λG the wavelength of light emitted by distant galaxy G and with λE the wavelength of light generated by the same source on the Earth. Since νE = c/λE and νG = c/λG we have λE < λG. The galaxies interact with each other via gravity, which gives them a component of velocity that is not due to the expansion of the Universe, but related to their real (“peculiar”) motion and it is called “peculiar” velocity. In reality, we deal only with the radial component of each galaxy’s peculiar velocity: vpec. The expansion largely predominates, since the average vpec of galaxies -1 vpec is usually between about 100-300 km sec [12, and references therein] then it is very likely -1 that vpec ≤ 0.001c (≤ 300 km sec ). Assume now that all distant galaxies of NEEU are moving relative to the Earth at a non- relativistic speed vpec ≤ 0.001c. These galaxies continuously emit a stream of monoenergetic photons in all directions. These photons were emitted in the cosmic past, usually millions and billions of years ago. In other words, we could conceive them as the “ancient photons” or “the photon fossils” from the cosmic past. For the sake of simplicity, let us ignore for a moment the effect of the velocity vpec on the redshift of distant galaxy.

  • Dark Energy and Dark Matter As Inertial Effects Introduction
    Dark Energy and Dark Matter as Inertial Effects Serkan Zorba Department of Physics and Astronomy, Whittier College 13406 Philadelphia Street, Whittier, CA 90608 [email protected] ABSTRACT A disk-shaped universe (encompassing the observable universe) rotating globally with an angular speed equal to the Hubble constant is postulated. It is shown that dark energy and dark matter are cosmic inertial effects resulting from such a cosmic rotation, corresponding to centrifugal (dark energy), and a combination of centrifugal and the Coriolis forces (dark matter), respectively. The physics and the cosmological and galactic parameters obtained from the model closely match those attributed to dark energy and dark matter in the standard Λ-CDM model. 20 Oct 2012 Oct 20 ph] - PACS: 95.36.+x, 95.35.+d, 98.80.-k, 04.20.Cv [physics.gen Introduction The two most outstanding unsolved problems of modern cosmology today are the problems of dark energy and dark matter. Together these two problems imply that about a whopping 96% of the energy content of the universe is simply unaccounted for within the reigning paradigm of modern cosmology. arXiv:1210.3021 The dark energy problem has been around only for about two decades, while the dark matter problem has gone unsolved for about 90 years. Various ideas have been put forward, including some fantastic ones such as the presence of ghostly fields and particles. Some ideas even suggest the breakdown of the standard Newton-Einstein gravity for the relevant scales. Although some progress has been made, particularly in the area of dark matter with the nonstandard gravity theories, the problems still stand unresolved.

Abstract Bell's inequalities impose an upper limit on correlations between measurements of two-photon states under the assumption that the pho- tons play by a set of local rules rather than by quantum mechanics. Quantum theory and decades of experiments both violate this limit. Recent theoretical work in quantum foundations has demonstrated that a local realist model can explain the non-local correlations observed in experimental tests of Bell's inequality if the underlying probability dis- tribution of the local hidden variable depends on the choice of measure- ment basis, or \setting choice". By using setting choices determined by astrophysical events in the distant past, it is possible to asymptotically guarantee that the setting choice is independent of local hidden vari- ables which come into play around the time of the experiment, closing this \freedom-of-choice" loophole.

He created a list of distracting objects to avoid while comet hunting. This list now contains over 110 objects, many of which are the most famous astronomical bodies known. The list contains planetary nebula, star clusters, and other galaxies. - Bobby Martinez The Telescope The telescope used to take these images is an Astronomical Consultants and Equipment (ACE) 24- inch (0.61-meter) Ritchey-Chretien reflecting telescope. It has a focal ratio of F6.2 and is supported on a structure independent of the building that houses it. It is equipped with a Finger Lakes 1kx1k CCD camera cooled to -30o C at the Cassegrain focus. It is equipped with dual filter wheels, the first containing UBVRI scientific filters and the second RGBL color filters. Messier 1 Found 6,500 light years away in the constellation of Taurus, the Crab Nebula (known as M1) is a supernova remnant. The original supernova that formed the crab nebula was observed by Chinese, Japanese and Arab astronomers in 1054 AD as an incredibly bright “Guest star” which was visible for over twenty-two months. The supernova that produced the Crab Nebula is thought to have been an evolved star roughly ten times more massive than the Sun.

  • Fine-Tuning, Complexity, and Life in the Multiverse*
    Fine-Tuning, Complexity, and Life in the Multiverse* Mario Livio Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, NV 89154, USA E-mail: [email protected] and Martin J. Rees Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 0HA, UK E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The physical processes that determine the properties of our everyday world, and of the wider cosmos, are determined by some key numbers: the ‘constants’ of micro-physics and the parameters that describe the expanding universe in which we have emerged. We identify various steps in the emergence of stars, planets and life that are dependent on these fundamental numbers, and explore how these steps might have been changed — or completely prevented — if the numbers were different. We then outline some cosmological models where physical reality is vastly more extensive than the ‘universe’ that astronomers observe (perhaps even involving many ‘big bangs’) — which could perhaps encompass domains governed by different physics. Although the concept of a multiverse is still speculative, we argue that attempts to determine whether it exists constitute a genuinely scientific endeavor. If we indeed inhabit a multiverse, then we may have to accept that there can be no explanation other than anthropic reasoning for some features our world. _______________________ *Chapter for the book Consolidation of Fine Tuning 1 Introduction At their fundamental level, phenomena in our universe can be described by certain laws—the so-called “laws of nature” — and by the values of some three dozen parameters (e.g., [1]). Those parameters specify such physical quantities as the coupling constants of the weak and strong interactions in the Standard Model of particle physics, and the dark energy density, the baryon mass per photon, and the spatial curvature in cosmology.

Magee3 Draft version May 5, 2015 ABSTRACT We present a spectroscopic redshift measurement of a very bright Lyman break galaxy at z = 7:7302 ± 0:0006 using Keck/MOSFIRE. The source was pre-selected photometrically in the EGS field as a robust z ∼ 8 candidate with H = 25:0 mag based on optical non-detections and a very red Spitzer/IRAC [3.6]−[4.5] broad-band color driven by high equivalent width [O III]+Hβ line emission. The Lyα line is reliably detected at 6:1σ and shows an asymmetric profile as expected for a galaxy embedded in a relatively neutral inter-galactic medium near the Planck peak of cosmic reionization. ˚ +90 The line has a rest-frame equivalent width of EW0 = 21 ± 4 A and is extended with VFWHM = 360−70 km s−1. The source is perhaps the brightest and most massive z ∼ 8 Lyman break galaxy in the 9:9±0:2 full CANDELS and BoRG/HIPPIES surveys, having assembled already 10 M of stars at only 650 Myr after the Big Bang. The spectroscopic redshift measurement sets a new redshift record for galaxies. This enables reliable constraints on the stellar mass, star-formation rate, formation epoch, as well as combined [O III]+Hβ line equivalent widths.

The image was taken while the rescue was in progress on 13 October 2010, at 3:30 am Chilean Daylight Saving time.
