Colin P Rourke

Colin P. Rourke, a brilliant mathematician with a deep understanding of the Poincaré conjecture, now solved.

In 2000 started an interest in cosmology. His New paradigm for the universe, a stunning work that suggests an ancient universe, no big bang, and no need for dark matter.

It is a beautiful theory, more economical in its assumptions than the current big bang and dark matter cosmology.

The U in BLUME stands for universal.

The goal is to act as a guide to the mathematics of the new paradigm.

The blume.cpr module is where it starts to come into life.

First, to reproduce the plots in A new paradigm for the universe.

Explore geodesics in de Sitter Space.

Binary systems and the new paradigm, when M is large and r is small?

How do they make waves, rather than preserve their angular momentum by a suitable change in rotation?

Where do the harmonics arise in the CMB? Is it just the local galaxies that modulate the signal?

There is good data on local galaxies, so a first step here will be to visualise these galaxies and see if we explore what seems to drive it all.

There are a lot of parameters for each galaxy, which should allow a reasonable model for the size of the black hole driving the galaxy.

If we can get reasonable estimates then we should start to see the forces driving inter-galactic dust and be able to compare to harmonics in the CMB.

It would also be of interest to see how the new paradigm changes planetary formation theory and movements of dust through a solar system and beyond.

The cpr module is a first stab at implementing the physics of his book, A new paradigm for the universe, in python.

All errors, and there are likely may be many, are on me for now.

2021 update

There is tension in the value of the HLSW constant.

The estimate from the CMB, assuming the Big Bang, gives a lower value than the estimate of observations of cepheid variables.

With the new paradigm, the CMB is in fact predominately made up of radiation from galaxies in the incoming flow.

Step back a moment. The CMB says, the univers is about 2.73K, saturated with microwaves from the outer galaxies.

A microwave that hits a particle of ice in the cosmos, emerges without losing energy, on average. It can potentially travel a great distance, though likely with some divergence.

What the observations are saying is that the light from these distant galaxies is not as red shifted as we would have expected it to be.

2021 May 20 update

A new book is due to be published in July.

The Geometry of the Universe

I am super excited for a book that I suspect will be worthy of the title.

Meanwhile, I see this press release from the same publisher:

https://www.worldscientific.com/pressroom/2021-05-11-01

It seems to be a micro theory, with experimental tests, for rotational models within Lorentz space.

Good times ahead.
