The Quasi-Steady-State Cosmology as proposed by Hoyle, Burbidge and Narlikar does not fit the observed facts of the Universe. In particular, it predicts that 75-90\% of the radio sources in the brightest sample that shows steeper than…
The Comment by Amore {\it et al.} [gr-qc/0611029] contains a valid criticism of the numerical precision of the results reported in a recent paper of ours [Phys. Rev. D {\bf 73}, 044022 (2006)], as well as fresh ideas on how to characterize…
Since the emergence in the late 1960s of the standard hot big-bang theory, cosmology has been dominated by finite-age models. However, the rival view that the universe has existed for an indefinite time has continued to be defended by a…
Recently, J. P. Leahy commented (astro-ph/9704285) on the indication of anisotropy in the propagation of radio waves over cosmological distances, published by Nodland and Ralston (B. Nodland and J. P. Ralston, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 3043…
At the time of publication of H. Everett's Relative-State Formulation (1957) and DeWitt's Many-Worlds Interpretation (1970), quantum mechanics was available in a more modern and adequate version than the one used by these authors. We show…
Action-at-a-distance electrodynamics - alternative approach to field theory - can be extended to cosmological models using conformal symmetry. An advantage of this is that the origin of arrow of time in electromagnetism can be attributed to…
The paper of Unal [J. Math. Phys. 59, 062104 (2018)], though worthy of attention, contains a conclusion that is in error and may mislead the efforts to extend his results. The aim of the present note is twofold: we provide a correction to…
It is noted that some results of the author's research papers cited in the comprehensive review paper "The Science of Sungrazers, Sunskirters, and Other Near-Sun Comets" by G. H. Jones et al. (2018) have been factually misrepresented. The…
Arguments and evidence against the hot big bang model are summarized. The observations which point to an explosive cosmogony and the quasi-steady state cosmology are outlined.
We discuss the instabilities appearing in the cosmological model with a quasi de Sitter phase following from a fourth-order gravity theory. Both the classical equation as well as the quantization in form of a Wheeler - De Witt equation are…
In this note we comment on the RG flow of the Newton and cosmological constants, also in view of some recent claims [1] that would rise some doubts on the validity of our recent work [2,3]. Here we show that the arguments and claims of [1]…
The recent proposal by Kellermann (1993) to use the angular size/redshift relation of compact radio sources to obtain information on the value of cosmological parameters has provoked considerable discussion in the astronomical community. I…
The R_h=ct Universe is a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology which, like LCDM, assumes the presence of dark energy in addition to (baryonic and non-luminous) matter and radiation. Unlike LCDM, however, it is also constrained by the…
An overview is given in section 1, of uncertain building blocks of present-day cosmologies. Thereafter, these edited lecture notes deal with the following four special problems: (1) They advertise Wiltshire's result -- making `dark energy'…
In this paper it is shown that Smith (2008) used inappropriate and inconsistent formulations in averaging various quantities over the entire surface of the Earth considered as a sphere. Using two instances of averaging procedures as…
It is shown that criticism in the paper: "On observation of neutron quantum states in the Earth's gravitational field." Phys.Rev.D {\bf 81} 052008 (2010) of the experiment with neutrons to observe bound levels in gravity field is not…
We investigate the Robertson-Walker cosmology with Lagrangian $R+\alpha_1\hbar R^2+\alpha_2\hbar R^{\mu\nu}R_{\mu\nu} +L_{rad}$ where $L_{rad}$ means classical source with traceless energy-momentum tensor. We weaken the self-consistence…
This is in fact an Erratum to the paper published in Physics Letters A221 (1996) 359. The reduced-phase-space discussion remains essentially valid in spite of the fact that many equations are changed. However, the analysis based on the…
I have noted a number of errors, most of them quite minor, in the {\em Encyclopedia of Cosmology} (New York and London: Garland), 1993, Norriss S. Hetherington, ed. The majority occur in my mathematically verbose article, ``Fundamental…
The essay argues that the standard cosmological model is one sided and incomplete. Its recognition of the primacy of radiant energy has no rational justification and empirical verification and, therefore, is arbitrary and subjective. The…
