IS SPACE REALLY EXPANDING? A COUNTEREXAMPLE

In all Friedman models, the cosmological redshift is widely interpreted as a consequence of the general-relativistic phenomenon of expansion of space. Other commonly believed consequences of this phenomenon are superluminal recession velocities of distant galaxies, and the distance to the particle horizon greater than ct (where t is the age of the Universe), in apparent conflict with special relativity. Here, we study a particular Friedman model: empty universe. This model exhibits both…

The kinematic origin of the cosmological redshift
- Physics
- 2009
A common belief about big-bang cosmology is that the cosmological redshift cannot be properly viewed as a Doppler shift (that is, as evidence for a recession velocity) but must be viewed in terms of…
Interpretation of the cosmological metric
- Physics

The cosmological Robertson–Walker metric of general relativity is often said to have the consequences that (1) the recessional velocity v of a galaxy at proper distance l obeys the Hubble law v=Hl,…
The kinematic component of the cosmological redshift
- Physics
- 2011
It is widely believed that the cosmological redshift is not a Doppler shift. However, Bunn & Hogg have recently pointed out that to solve this problem properly, one has to transport parallelly the…
Is space expanding in the Friedmann universe models
- Physics
- 2007
The interpretation of the expanding universe as an expansion of space has recently been challenged. From the geodesic equation in Friedmann universe models and the empty Milne model, we argue that a…
Astronomical redshifts and the expansion of space

In homogeneous cosmological models the wavelength $\lambda$ of a photon exchanged between two fundamental observers changes in proportion to expansion of the space $D$ between them, so…
A direct consequence of the Expansion of Space

Consider radar ranging of a distant galaxy in a Friedman-Lemaitre cosmological model. In this model the comoving coordinate of the galaxy is constant; hence, the equations of null geodesics for…
Does standard cosmology really predict the cosmic microwave background?
- PhysicsF1000Research
- 2020
It is shown that the traditional calculation of the CMB temperature is flawed and that light emitted by any source inside the Big Bang universe earlier than half its "conformal age", also by distant galaxies, can only become visible to us via a return path.

Implications of an Absolute Simultaneity Theory for Cosmology and Universe Acceleration
- PhysicsPloS one
- 2014
It is shown that ALT is compatible with current experiments to test Lorentz invariance only if the proposed preferred reference frame is locally equivalent to the Earth-centered non-rotating inertial reference frame, with the inference that in an ALT framework, preferred reference frames are associated with centers of gravitational mass.

Misconceptions about the big bang.

The article discusses common misconceptions about the Big Bang theory and the expansion of the universe and the key to avoiding the misunderstandings is not to take the term "big bang" too literally.
The cosmic microwave background radiation temperature at a redshift of 2.34
- PhysicsNature

The detection of absorption lines from the first and second fine-structure levels of neutral carbon atoms in an isolated cloud of gas is reported, and it is found that the background radiation was indeed warmer in the past: TCMBR(z = 2.3371) is between 6.0 and 14 K, in accord with the temperature predicted by hot Big Bang cosmology.
