A new paradigm for the universe

Astrophysics 2019-05-30 v5

Abstract

This book provides a completely new approach to understanding the universe. The main idea is that the principal objects in the universe form a spectrum unified by the presence of a massive or hypermassive black hole. These objects are variously called quasars, active galaxies and spiral galaxies. The key to understanding their dynamics is angular momentum and the key tool, and main innovative idea of this work, is a proper formulation of "Mach's principle" using Sciama's ideas. In essence, what is provided here is a totally new paradigm for the universe. In this paradigm, there is no big bang, and the universe is many orders of magnitude older than current estimates for its age. Indeed there is no natural limit for its age.

198 pages, 81 figures (including jpg's). Version 5 is complete, with a good models for the three pillars of the big bang. This will probably be the last major version of this work by this author. Other authors should now take up the story
