Good Bye Dark Matter and Dark Energy… Say Hello to Co-varying Coupled Constants and “Tired Light”
Posted by Guy Pirro | 03/17/2024 05:41PM | Comments
Throughout history, we have seen many examples where scientists have simply invented ideas out of thin air to help explain away things that are just not understood at the time. Such may be the case with today’s infatuation with Dark Matter and Dark Energy. A new University of Ottawa study challenges the current model of the Universe by showing that it has no room for Dark Matter or Dark Energy. The model combines two ideas — about how the forces of nature decrease over cosmic time and about light losing energy when it travels a long distance (Tired Light). In some ways, the concepts of Dark Matter and Dark Energy bring to mind another imaginary concept -- the so called "Aether Wind" of the 1800s. Back then, everybody just "knew" that space was filled with an "Aether Wind." The problem was that no one had ever seen it or measured it… And in 1887, when Albert Michelson and Edward Morley set out to prove the existence of Aether Wind once and for all, their experiment failed spectacularly -- There was no such thing. Michelson eventually won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907 for this work and became the first American to do so. These ideas may or may not pan out, but at least researchers are seriously considering other alternatives.
