SELFPROOF 0204 - HORIZON PROBLEM

CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL

The horizon problem is a problem with the standard cosmological model of the Big Bang which was identified in the 1970s. It points out that different regions of the Universe have not 'contacted' each other because of the great distances between them, but nevertheless they have the same tem
perature and other physical properties. This should not be possible, given that the exchange of information (or energy, heat, etc.) can only take place at the speed of light. The horizon problem may have been answered by inflationary theory, and is one of the reasons for that theory's formation. Another proposal, though less accepted, theory is that the speed of light has changed over time. (Wikipedia 06 Oct 2011)


A restatement of the Horizon Problem is this:
  • The photons of the cosmic background radiation have the same temperature to within 0.01%, no matter from which direction they come. 
  • This suggests the photons were once sufficiently close together that their temperature equalised. 
  • Per the Current Cosmology Model, the diameter of the Universe at 10-43 of a second after the Big Bang was one Planck Length. 
  • If lightspeed is a cosmological speed limit and if the age of the Universe is 13.75 billion years, and if the diameter of the Universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang was one Planck Length, the diameter of the Universe must now be 27.4 billion lightyears. 
  • However observations appear to show the visible Universe alone has a diameter of 156 billion lightyears. 
  • How then were the photons of the cosmic background radiation once close enough together to equalise their temperature.

MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE

  • Shortly after Moment Zero there were three separate and eventually simultaneous inflations of the Universe underway.
    • The teel-inflation. This began at Moment Zero with the teels of which the Universe is made moving away from the Ucentre. The rate of the teel-inflation is initially superluminal. (see Argument 0218
    • The blackhole-inflation. Cosmic blackholes formed from accretions of teels. These too, overall, move away from the Ucentre. The rate of the blackhole-expansion is initially superluminal. (see Chapter 3 - Blackholes)
    • The photon-inflation. This is the cosmic background radiation. Cosmic photons form from cosmic blackholes, stabilising within the photonic masses and at lightspeed. (see Chapter 6 - Photons
  • The diameter of the Universe at 10-43 of a second after Moment Zero was a (notional) one billion lightyears. (see Argument 0215)

  • The photons of the cosmic background radiation have the same temperature to within 0.01% no matter from which direction they come. 
  • When cosmic photons first stabilised it was to a pair of blackbody scales:
    • Scale 1:  on a line from the Ucentre to the Usurface.
    • Scale 2:  at any distance from the Ucentre on the line of Blackbody Scale 1.
  • Thus the intensity peak of the cosmic background radiation varied according to where cosmic photons were within the expanding Universe. 
  • That the cosmic photons now being detected on Planet Earth have the same temperature to within 0.01% is due to mechanical reasons. (see Chapter 6 - Photons

COMMENTARY

  • The Current Cosmology Model's description of the early Universe is a logictrap
  • It is a logictrap because the Current Cosmology Model devolves what is known into what is unknown through the use of multigenerational assumptions.
  • (This is in contrast to the Malta Cosmology Template which evolves what can be deduced from facts into what is known.)
  • Resolving the logictrap requires accepting that: 

    • some or all of the measures used are wrong, and/or
    • something is missing in the statement of the problem.
  • The Current Cosmology Model takes the second option and assumes that something is missing in the statement of the problem. 
    • The missing information is that a period of cosmic inflation took place shortly after the Big Bang. (see C0202 - Inflation Theory)
    • During this inflationary period the Universe expanded exponentially.
    • This enabled all the photons of the Cosmic Background Radiation to have once been in contact and yet to have expanded with the Universe to its present visible size. 
    • There is no consensus as to the mechanisms/processes that enabled the inflationary period.
    • There is no empirical proof that the inflationary period happened.
  • The Malta Cosmology Template effectively (but unconsciously) takes a mix of both options.

    • Wrong measures:

      • The diameter of the Universe at 10-43 of a second after Moment Zero was over one billion lightyears, not one Planck Length. (see Argument 0215)
    • Missing information:
      • Photons are particles rather than mere carriers of energy (see Chapter 6 - Photons). 
      • Photons have internal mechanisms which regulate the speed at which they move - which is always lightspeed. 
      • Cosmic photons stabilised to a pair of blackbody scales.
      • Cosmic photons equalised their temperature to the pair of blackbody scales with their neighbours.
      • Cosmic photons did not equalise their temperature to a blackbody scale with every cosmic photon in the Universe.
      • At any location, the intensity peaks for each blackbody scale are the same. 
  • Most of the photons we gather from objects beyond the Milky Way galaxy are redshifted.
  • Much of this redshift is currently attributed to the expansion of the Universe and this is correct - but indirectly.
  • Directly, the colourshift of a photon at the moment of detection depends on two factors:
    • The rearward gravitypull it has experienced during its lifetime versus the forward gravitypull it has experienced.
    • The sum of the energy it has absorbed during its lifetime versus the sum of the energy it has ejected. 
  • During a relatively brief period after Moment Zero, a proportion of the Universe's newly formed blackholes stabilised as the cosmic photons of the cosmic background radiation. 
  • Over the succeeding billions of years, many cosmic photons have been absorbed by the larger objects that subsequently came into existence.
  • Of those that remain unabsorbed, those that move inward toward the Ucentre have been blueshifted while those that moved outward have been redshifted.
  • Because the Earth is a considerable distance beyond the Usurface of thirteen billion years ago, we see the cosmic photons as considerably redshifted. 
  • Because the cosmic photons formed to a "double" blackbody scale, their subsequent colourshifting means that to an observer on Earth they always appear to a blackbody scale and have a temperature within 0.01% no matter from which direction they come. 
  • In the Malta Cosmology Template, there is no Horizon Problem.



GLOSSARY
  • logictrap:     A logictrap is an information spiral from which there is no apparent escape. The information is often mathematical because mathematical sequences easily become divorced from reality. Zeno's paradoxes are textbook examples of logictraps. The cause of a logictrap is that information is either missing or is being misinterpreted. Logictraps are dangerous when they are not recognised for what they are and come to be treated as "real".  (This is the "chasing rainbows" syndrome, after the well-known pointless exercise.)
