Fine! What would it take to build a sensor based on this physics http://www.habmigern2003.info/future_trends/infrared_analyser/ndir/IR-Absorption-GB.html ? One IR-LED and maybe 4 photo diodes, or a prism combined with a linear CCD? Some slow ADCs in a cheap MCU. It seems possible to do this

this is nice, I have waited this long time and data is finally here. Planck satellite data can make cosmology finally a real empirical science, not just playground for speculators. My predictions are that the flat geometry is confirmed and there are no positive evidences for inflation

Hi Ron, This is surprisingly amateurish abstract, to be coming from phys.org. but I guess they do not have an inclination to be more precise in a what amounts to a PR writeup for an article they sell for more than Amazon charges for a novel. EEs have long suspected that some physicists

Jouni - for what it is worth, Iagree and also think it is flat and that Dirac's large number hypothesis (with slight modification) is correct - i.e. there is a time variation in the gravitational constant so not all the red shift is from expansion but some from larger G in the past. It is

Gravitational balance might be countered in local areas by condensation of the matter nearby. Gravity attraction is a non linear function and would not remain constant with time as matter is affected. I once modeled a simple system with several equally spaced units in a line connected by

So far the microwave background is still best explained by standard cosomology. That doesn't mean big bang cosmology is right (since a flat universe obviously counts against it). The claim to fame of big bang cosomology is still the cosmic microwave background. No other cosmology predicted it.

The unparticle will give guys like Ed Storms who believes in rigorous enforcement of the conservation laws a nervous breakdown because in a metal lattice, electron like particles seem to spring into existence out of the vacuum when the environment becomes just right. There is reference in

not exactly true. There are theories like integrated starlight and thermalization-- if the universe is infinite. The Big Bang has problems with the horizon problem and the anisotropy of the background and polarization of the background if it started from a single point. It also has

Yes, and there's one other inconvenient problem for the Big Bang. You might recall a few years ago when infrared telescopes were revealing previously invisible galaxies in the range of 8 to 11 billion light years away. The galaxies didn't look anywhere near as young as they ought. This is one

Don’t forget the inconvenient problem of the Methuselah star - and also nothing more exotic than general relativity, which has the interaction of gravitational fields producing a repulsive force at cosmological distances, see: Jefimenko's Last Word by Jeffery Kooistra.

There is no doubt about big bang cosmology. We know with very good accuracy that the universe is exactly 13.772 ± 0.059 gigayears old. For example the dating of second generation star HD 140283 supports well this age estimate. There are several other dating methods also. The problem is that
