       I am vouching for the veracity of my equipment, I've seen what
       it is and how it works, I've even taken it all apart and put it
       back together.  There is no scam there.  It's just a tilt tip
       mirror, there is no way for it to fake the images, so by saying
       it is you're calling me a liar.

       Cosmology Has Some Big Problems

  HTML https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/cosmology-has-some-big-problems/
       What do we really know about our universe?
       Born out of a cosmic explosion 13.8 billion years ago, the
       universe rapidly inflated and then cooled, it is still expanding
       at an increasing rate and mostly made up of unknown dark matter
       and dark energy ... right?
       This well-known story is usually taken as a self-evident
       scientific fact, despite the relative lack of empirical
       evidence—and despite a steady crop of discrepancies arising with
       observations of the distant universe.
       In recent months, new measurements of the Hubble constant, the
       rate of universal expansion, suggested major differences between
       two independent methods of calculation. Discrepancies on the
       expansion rate have huge implications not simply for calculation
       but for the validity of cosmology's current standard model at
       the extreme scales of the cosmos.
       Another recent probe found galaxies inconsistent with the theory
       of dark matter, which posits this hypothetical substance to be
       everywhere. But according to the latest measurements, it is not,
       suggesting the theory needs to be reexamined.
       It's perhaps worth stopping to ask why astrophysicists
       hypothesize dark matter to be everywhere in the universe? The
       answer lies in a peculiar feature of cosmological physics that
       is not often remarked. For a crucial function of theories such
       as dark matter, dark energy and inflation, which each in its own
       way is tied to the big bang paradigm, is not to describe known
       empirical phenomena but rather to maintain the mathematical
       coherence of the framework itself while accounting for
       discrepant observations. Fundamentally, they are names for
       something that must exist insofar as the framework is assumed to
       be universally valid.
       Each new discrepancy between observation and theory can of
       course in and of itself be considered an exciting promise of
       more research, a progressive refinement toward the truth. But
       when it adds up, it could also suggest a more confounding
       problem that is not resolved by tweaking parameters or adding
       new variables.
       Consider the context of the problem and its history. As a
       mathematically driven science, cosmological physics is usually
       thought to be extremely precise. But the cosmos is unlike any
       scientific subject matter on earth. A theory of the entire
       universe, based on our own tiny neighborhood as the only known
       sample of it, requires a lot of simplifying assumptions. When
       these assumptions are multiplied and stretched across vast
       distances, the potential for error increases, and this is
       further compounded by our very limited means of testing.
       Historically, Newton's physical laws made up a theoretical
       framework that worked for our own solar system with remarkable
       precision. Both Uranus and Neptune, for example, were discovered
       through predictions based on Newton's model. But as the scales
       grew larger, its validity proved limited. Einstein's general
       relativity framework provided an extended and more precise reach
       beyond the furthest reaches of our own galaxy. But just how far
       could it go?
       The big bang paradigm that emerged in the mid-20th century
       effectively stretches the model's validity to a kind of
       infinity, defined either as the boundary of the radius of the
       universe (calculated at 46 billion light-years) or in terms of
       the beginning of time. This giant stretch is based on a few
       concrete discoveries, such as Edwin Hubble's observation that
       the universe appears to be expanding (in 1929) and the detection
       of the microwave background radiation (in 1964). But considering
       the scale involved, these limited observations have had an
       outsized influence on cosmological theory.
       It is of course entirely plausible that the validity of general
       relativity breaks down much closer to our own home than at the
       edge of the hypothetical end of the universe. And if that were
       the case, today's multilayered theoretical edifice of the big
       bang paradigm would turn out to be a confusing mix of fictional
       beasts invented to uphold the model along with empirically valid
       variables, mutually reliant on each other to the point of making
       it impossible to sort science from fiction.
       Compounding this problem, most observations of the universe
       occur experimentally and indirectly. Today's space telescopes
       provide no direct view of anything—they produce measurements
       through an interplay of theoretical predictions and pliable
       parameters, in which the model is involved every step of the
       way. The framework literally frames the problem; it determines
       where and how to observe. And so, despite the advanced
       technologies and methods involved, the profound limitations to
       the endeavor also increase the risk of being led astray by the
       kind of assumptions that cannot be calculated.
       After spending many years researching the foundations of
       cosmological physics from a philosophy of science perspective, I
       have not been surprised to hear some scientists openly talking
       about a crisis in cosmology. In the big “inflation debate” in
       Scientific American a few years ago, a key piece of the big bang
       paradigm was criticized by one of the theory's original
       proponents for having become indefensible as a scientific
       theory.
       Why? Because inflation theory relies on ad hoc contrivances to
       accommodate almost any data, and because its proposed physical
       field is not based on anything with empirical justification.
       This is probably because a crucial function of inflation is to
       bridge the transition from an unknowable big bang to a physics
       we can recognize today. So, is it science or a convenient
       invention?
       A few astrophysicists, such as Michael J. Disney, have
       criticized the big bang paradigm for its lack of demonstrated
       certainties. In his analysis, the theoretical framework has far
       fewer certain observations than free parameters to tweak them—a
       so-called “negative significance” that would be an alarming sign
       for any science. As Disney writes in American Scientist: “A
       skeptic is entitled to feel that a negative significance, after
       so much time, effort and trimming, is nothing more than one
       would expect of a folktale constantly re-edited to fit
       inconvenient new observations."
       As I discuss in my new book, Metaphysical Experiments, there is
       a deeper history behind the current problems. The big bang
       hypothesis itself originally emerged as an indirect consequence
       of general relativity undergoing remodeling. Einstein had made a
       fundamental assumption about the universe, that it was static in
       both space and time, and to make his equations add up, he added
       a “cosmological constant,” for which he freely admitted there
       was no physical justification.
       But when Hubble observed that the universe was expanding and
       Einstein's solution no longer seemed to make sense, some
       mathematical physicists tried to change a fundamental assumption
       of the model: that the universe was the same in all spatial
       directions but variant in time. Not insignificantly, this theory
       came with a very promising upside: a possible merger between
       cosmology and nuclear physics. Could the brave new model of the
       atom also explain our universe?
       From the outset, the theory only spoke to the immediate
       aftermath of an explicitly hypothetical event, whose principal
       function was as a limit condition, the point at which the theory
       breaks down. Big bang theory says nothing about the big bang; it
       is rather a possible hypothetical premise for resolving general
       relativity.
       On top of this undemonstrable but very productive hypothesis,
       floor upon floor has been added intact, with vastly extended
       scales and new discrepancies. To explain observations of
       galaxies inconsistent with general relativity, the existence of
       dark matter was posited as an unknown and invisible form of
       matter calculated to make up more than a quarter of all
       mass-energy content in the universe—assuming, of course, the
       framework is universally valid. In 1998, when a set of supernova
       measurements of accelerating galaxies seemed at odds with the
       framework, a new theory emerged of a mysterious force called
       dark energy, calculated to fill circa 70 percent of the
       mass-energy of the universe.
       The crux of today's cosmological paradigm is that in order to
       maintain a mathematically unified theory valid for the entire
       universe, we must accept that 95 percent of our cosmos is
       furnished by completely unknown elements and forces for which we
       have no empirical evidence whatsoever. For a scientist to be
       confident of this picture requires an exceptional faith in the
       power of mathematical unification.
       In the end, the conundrum for cosmology is its reliance on the
       framework as a necessary presupposition for conducting research.
       For lack of a clear alternative, as astrophysicist Disney also
       notes, it is in a sense stuck with the paradigm. It seems more
       pragmatic to add new theoretical floors than to rethink the
       fundamentals.
       Contrary to the scientific ideal of getting progressively closer
       to the truth, it looks rather like cosmology, to borrow a term
       from technology studies, has become path-dependent:
       overdetermined by the implications of its past inventions.
