Cosmological Implications of the SDSS and 2dF RedshiftPopulation Histograms |
Abstract |
Empirical observation of galaxy population density in redshift space is inconsistent with expectations based on the canonical cosmological model. The magnitude of this inconsistency implies a significant error in the canonical models theoretical redshift-distance relationship. A new model has been derived that rests on first principles and which is consistent with observed galaxy population density in redshift space. Additionally, the observed Type Ia supernovae redshift-luminosity curve does not require interpretation as accelerating cosmic expansion. Moreover, the revised redshiftdistance relationship of the proposed new model implies that the entire mass of early-type galaxies associated with observed Einstein rings is composed of normal matter; no dark matter need be assumed to exist in these systems. |
