Exploring problems with Origin of the Universe theories

A ring of nine cataclysmic gamma ray bursts (GRBs) five billion light years across challenges current theories about the universe On August 4, 2015, Professor Lajos Balasz announced to the press, “this structure contradicts the current models of the universe.” His research was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Present theories set a theoretical limit of 1.2 billion light years for the largest structure. Balasz’s investigating team at the Konkoly Observatory in Budapest is trying to establish if known processes of galaxy formation formed the ring's structure. If not, present theories of the evolution of the universe will need a radical revision. The May/2014 issue of Scientific American highlighted another major calamity • theorists working in particle physics admit they’re in a state of “confusion” • there is “widespread panic” that particle physicists may be barking up the wrong tree • science periodicals, forums, and blog posts suggest revising fundamental principles to resolve the “crisis in physics” “Theoretical physics is at a crossroads right now…In a sense we’ve entered a very deep crisis.” Dr. Neil Turok – Director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Renowned physicist, Dr. Lee Smolin, is pushing for a new paradigm in astrophysics: “We need to make a clean break and embark on a search for a new kind of theory that can be applied to the whole universe – a theory that avoids the confusions and paradoxes, answers the unanswerable questions, and generates genuine physical predictions for cosmological observations.”

Cosmology on Trial – an Amazon Bestseller by Pierre St. Clair

Cosmology on Trial introduces readers to unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe, without complex jargon. The author's approach is "Just the facts please. Show me the evidence." Current ideas of cosmology lack verifiable data. In spite of this, they masquerade as relevant theories and compete for greater elegance like beauty pageant contestants. Physicists still do not fully understand Gravity, the most common force in nature. Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime. Gravity is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics, although it is ubiquitous.

Cosmology On Trial examines present models of the universe like an attorney in a court of law

Bestselling author Pierre St Clair digs behind the headlines to update the public about the current crisis in physics • NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery • Can today’s cosmology be complete if science only understands 4% of the universe? • The most important initiative in physics which scientists ignore • The five biggest myths of cosmology are not supported by observation or data

Cosmology on Trial: a profound eye-opener of inconsistencies taught as "scientific"

“As a scientist and as an educator, I like the idea that we believe things because there’s evidence.” Dr. Richard Dawkins – Oxford University Professor and Bestselling Author “This book simply makes the very strong point that our cosmology of yesteryear was not based on solid evidence, and our cosmology of today isn't either.” V. DiCara – Japan “Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science.” M. Lyons – USA “If you are interested in coming to grips with just what science knows, and does not know, about the universe then this book is for you.” A. Brennan – Australia

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Bestselling author Pierre St. Clair focuses on anomalies in cosmological theories. Recently he won the prestigious Sir J. C. Bose Award for Investigative Journalism in the field of Science and Technology for his book Cosmology on Trial. Although born in London, at five years of age his family emigrated to Canada. His mother was a cultured lady who sent him for violin and music theory lessons when he was only six. As a teenager his interest in classical violin dwindled. He bought his first guitar, taught himself how to play, formed a band, and began performing locally. Within a few short years he was touring throughout Canada and the US. Music was always his first love, and remains so. His journalism career began as a result of a college girlfriend's mother predicting his success as a writer. The daughter of a missionary in Shanghai, she had grown up in China and pursued an interest in the occult sciences, including palmistry. One Saturday afternoon she asked to see his hand. After a few minutes study she predicted, "One day you'll become an accomplished writer." QUOTES FROM THE AUTHOR "I enjoy digging behind the scenes to find out what is really happening beneath the headlines. That's why I became an investigative journalist." "Current theories about the origin of the universe lack verifiable data. In spite of this, many ideas masquerade as relevant theories and compete for greater elegance just like beauty pageant contestants." "COSMOLOGY ON TRIAL" An overview of cosmology that introduces the reader to unexplained and unsolved mysteries of the universe which are rarely discussed in Academia. The author reveals that Newtonian physics, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory have still not proven whether Gravity is a wave, a graviton particle, or even a fabric of spacetime. Gravity, the most common force in nature, is not even included in the Standard Model of Physics. NASA physicists admit that 96% of the matter and energy in the universe is a mystery. REVIEWS "Scientific progress and complacency go ill together, and St Clair has done a superb job in actually advancing the cause of real science." M. Lyons - USA "In the course of his dissertation, St. Clair takes on much of modern science and its concomitant contemporary philosophy, showing where they are right, but, more importantly, where they are wrong. His approach is balanced, enabling the attentive reader to walk away with a true education." S. J. Rosen New York
