The Universe is inhomogeneous. Does it matter?

Adam Day's avatarCQG+

Yes! The biggest problem in cosmology—the apparent acceleration of the expansion of the Universe and the nature of dark energy—has stimulated a debate about “backreaction”, namely the effect of inhomogeneities in matter and geometry on the average evolution of the Universe. Our recent paper aims to close a chapter of that debate, to encourage exciting new research in the future.

Although matter in the Universe was extremely uniform when the cosmic microwave background radiation formed, since then gravitational instability led to

Topic013: Quantum Periodicity Uniqueness, Completeness, Bill Tifft, 11/15/15

Topic_013 Book figures 3.22 (left), 3.24 upper (right)

With the recognition of how to precisely predict redshift periodicities the underlying basis of Quantum Temporal Cosmology is essentially complete. One important task remains. How complete and unique is the periodicity pattern? Are there other decay processes and redshift patterns hidden in the known data? Three studies have been made to look for power inconsistent with the Lehto-Tifft equations. The first test looked for any power excess distributed between periods predicted by the set of ninth-root periods which are spaced by the factor1.08. Locations scaled by factors ranging from 0.95 to 1.04 in steps of 0.01, to bridge the 1.08 interval, were searched for evidence of excess power. The Virgo data set was examined in the range from 23 to 126 km/s, which includes the range of well known periods consistent with the quality and redshift…
