The age of the universe much older

 The following is my Sunday thought, and it came to me in the last half hour. I have long been wondering about what is going on with our universe and our current interpretation of it. Of course, I have a theory about the large-scale structure of the universe: that it is a fractal, an inverted fractal. That theory has had no traction, but it allows me to think freely, perhaps more freely than others. And I have no skin in the game.  The following are my thoughts this morning on the age of the universe. I have recently been thinking that we are getting a distorted picture (more than we think) of the universe and are not taking into account special relativity at its outer reaches. I also think that our current age of the universe — 13.8 billion years old — is too young. I think this number is about as wrong as thinking the Earth is 3000 or 4000 years old. I think we need to be thinking 'deep cosmic time', like Hutton's geological deep time, and if this is true then the age of ...

Cosmic Dissonance Big Bang CMB wrong

Cosmic Dissonance: Big Bang CMB wrong? Here I go again. I just wrote this comment on astrophysicist Dr Becky's channel . I'll probably hear nothing, lol, but.. I actually got this idea in my dreams, listening to a cosmology audiobook, as I do. I was arguing in my dream with what I was hearing, and when I woke up, I said, "Wooo! That's a pretty cool idea." My comment. I call it cosmic dissonance. ( CMB is the cosmic microwave background , and the EMS, is the electromagnetic spectrum - check them out). "How is it that the CMB (which apparently is the decayed/cooled signature of the hot big bang) is right by stars that can be observed in the visible (of the EMS)? How can we have 'snapshots in time' observations of stars, but the CMB is not a snapshot; it has, by all accounts, cooled to the microwave, some 2 Kelvin, from an 'infinite' temperature at the same/similar location as the observed stars. I think your CMB is a red herring. It's in...

The Great Disassociation.

The topic of this post is my claim that the Internet is separating us. That it is like the electricity used to separate the atoms in the molecule H2O the negative and the positive, oxygen and the hydrogen, what is called in chemistry disassociation. Are we living in the age of disassociation? Where the electricity is the Internet. Just a thought.  I've been wanting to write this for some time. I have a few posts like this. I've been thinking about how, recently, more than ever in history, we have been separated and divided in our opinions. It's dividing people everywhere. Good luck trying to find somebody who is not affected. Now, what I found about the fractal is that it is a foundational geometry that points to different interpretations. It even is defined by differences. Now I think that there is only one truth to the mechanics of this fracture and the other side is an illusion. There is a duality of knowledge. I've also written on how I think the computer is affecti...

discussions with a physicist on age of universe

 I was about to write a diary entry but then thought, "Well, why not make it a blog entry instead?"  I was going over my thoughts on a discussion I had with my colleague in my staff room office. I teach in the IB program, and our office has a mathematician who actually works with string theory and similar — wow— language teachers, a psychology teacher, and an environmental studies teacher. But when I walked in yesterday morning, I got chatting with my physics colleague on my left.  He talked about what he was about to teach, special relativity. I said to him 'why don't you tell the students the crazy economist thinks the universe is telling us with respect to special relativity?' And he didn't remember our conversation from the past where I told them —the math teacher too — that I think the universe is a frozen image at its outer limits, the Big Bang, due to the phenomenon of special relativity. That special relativity doesn't allow us to see beyond. What ...

My Phone Call to Dr Clauser on Quantum

  My call to John Clauser. The following is not a call for empathy. I’m not doing it to win any points; I’m doing it just to share a story that I think is (personally) quite remarkable. It’s part of my story.  I called one of the greatest scientists of our time, Dr John Clauser , wanting to discuss the paper that I submitted and had published in the International Journal of Quantum Foundation on the topic he won his Nobel Prize in, quantum entanglement. It ended up that he hung up on me. I was shattered, but what did I expect? Well, I expected a little curiosity, a bit of time, maybe a "I’ll give it a look, and I’ll get back to you," but no, this was not to be. It was very harsh and not very constructive at all. On his side, he must get a lot of this, and I understand that. Even I do, and I am not supportive of people all the time. I had written a letter to Dr Clauser and sent it to him, covering two topics I had been involved in and wanted to share with him. The first w...

A paper in a day; Time Dilation at the Edge

 Yesterday, I put my thoughts to paper and produced a preprint in a day. No AI was used. My style of writing will tell you that.  I have learnt a lot in the process, and nothing has swayed me from my initial idea.  I think it is the greatest thing I have thought of indirectly in relation to my fractal and atmospheric work. It does, though, complement my other fractal work. Let's see what response I get.  Blair The Standard Model Big Bang Age of the Universe Confused for Special Relativity Absolute Time Dilation Barrier

Big Bang Age of Universe Really an Absolute Time Dilation, Time Barrier: An Illusion

Here, I introduce my theory, which explains the age of galaxies at the edge of the observable universe. Based on the mechanics of special relativity and time dilation, I think we are witnessing a time barrier.  The Standard Model Big Bang Age of the Universe Confused for Special Relativity Absolute Time Dilation Barrier You'd think that when you go on holiday, you should stop thinking for a while about 'the big questions' and take a break. Well, not me. In fact, I think even more, lol. I love it. The Problem One of the biggest problems I have—(it is not the only one, lol)—and many of you will know about it because I talk about it so much—is the age of the universe and why it is so young compared to the age of the Earth or the solar system. It is 13.8 billion in relation to our 4 to 5-ish billion years. In terms of geological Earth, where we talk about 'deep time', there is no time for deep time in the universe. Why is the universe so young?! Add to this the discover...

News is now a Public Good

 My recent comment on a Facebook post on the losses New Zealand's national TV channel are making. TVNZ expects operational losses of $28m-$33m and ‘significant’ impairment Search ' Public Goods '. News and other entertainment, music, films, etc., have become public goods via the internet, called ePublic Goods. They fail as businesses due to non-excludability and non-rivalry. The free rider problem has become the free copy problem. It is one of the most significant problems of our time and is not going away. Public Goods (like National Defense) are funded by the state, which is a severe problem for 'democracy' to function.

Fractal Proof We Walked on the Moon

I quickly wrote this reply to a Facebook comment: " You guys really think he walked on the moon why and how do you know it’s true" My comment Purely by the complexity of the story. If it were fake, the complex story we know would have to have been scripted, top-down, like a movie script. The reality is that the story is infinite in complexity, right down to the people who stitched the suits, the boots, the chutes, and more. Full of stories by all of the hundreds of thousands involved. Every flight, hours and hours of specialist language, and the problems they had and overcame would all have had to be scripted. No one could do that. It was hard enough to script the 2-hour movie Apollo 13, the best of Hollywood in its time, and it wasn't really the real story compared to what is told by those there. It is my test, and it is the best. Reality is complex and fractal; fake is not.

Letter to Fractal Cosmology Opponent Hogg

Image
 This is the letter I wrote to Professor David Hogg, the opponent of Fractal Cosmology.  Please see my posts 'Fractal Cosmology' and Letter to Fractal Cosmology Opponent Hogg , share this, and read my papers. Thank you.  Subject:   Quaia catalogue corresponding with transitions in a physical inhomogeneous fractal model Dear Professor Hogg,  Firstly, congratulations on your recent Quaia Quasar catalogue. I believe it, along with DESI, is one of the greatest achievements of all time. My name is Blair Macdonald. Ordinarily, I would have no business with you as I am not a cosmologist; however,  what  I have found should interest you all.   I have tried to make this as short and as simple as I can. Being it what it is, this is a complex. Bear with me, please. In short: I have published a model that corresponds to your observations: it is the fractal. This is why this email is directed to Professor Hogg. I have taken fractals beyond the Italian fra...

Fractal Branch Distribution Experiment Corresponds with Universe Galaxy Distribution.

Image
  The following continues my work on fractal cosmology. To access my papers and developments, look back to my recent posts over the last year.  I experimented on a tree to see if the fractal corresponds with galaxy distribution from the latest galaxy survey.  Introduction The recent Gaia telescope Quaia survey of the universe produced a galaxy distribution diagram (Figure 1) that shows an uneven distribution of galaxies with distance.  3D map of over 1 million black holes traces where the universe's dark matter lies. Figure 1. Galaxy distribution diagram (Figure 11) from the paper: Quaia, the Gaia-unWISE Quasar Catalog: An All-sky Spectroscopic Quasar Sample, Hogg and others   https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ad1328 This diagram offers an opportunity to test whether this universe distribution shape corresponds with the distribution from a fractal tree. If so, the observation location may be inferred. The rise from the origin, 0 dist...

Fractal Cosmology David Hogg Letter

Image
Just so you know, a week or two ago, I sent what might have been the most important email of my life. In March, I saw that the results of a recent large-scale universe quasar survey corresponded directly with my fractal model of the universe and that one of the authors of this survey/paper is the key opponent to fractal cosmology, Professor David W. Hogg of New York University. I had to respond, and I have. This is some background from New Scientist Magazine 2007: 'Hogg's team feel that until there's a theory to explain why the galaxy clustering is fractal, there's no point in taking it seriously. "My view is that there's no reason to even contemplate a fractal structure for the universe until there is a physical fractal model," says Hogg. "Until there's an inhomogeneous fractal model to test, it's like tilting at windmills." In my email, I have shown him and all the authors (why not!) that I have that model, and it is described in the ...

New Fractal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

I am writing a letter to the Nobel Laureate, John Clauser, explaining to him what I have published on fractal and quantum mechanics. For the first time, I may have written a totally new quantum interpretation. I had never thought of that before.  My fractal interpretation  of quantum mechanics covers all the other interpretations and more — it links quantum mechanics to cosmology. They are inextricably linked. I have not heard a word back from anyone.  My papers: International Journal of Quantum Foundations, Speculations.

TVNZ cuts and NewsHub's closing evidence of e-Public Goods

  I predicted this around 15 years ago. Media and similar goods, such as music, arts, etc., have become Public Goods through the development of the Internet. Check out what a Public Good is: a technical term in economics, non-excludable non-rival: they fail and are the 'blackhole' of markets. They are what I call e-public Goods, where the free rider has become the free copy. It gets more serious than this, as Public Goods need to be provided by the state. newshub's Samantha Hayes on TVNZ job cuts: ‘Some exceptional journalists are facing the chop’

The Hairdryer Gap Paradox Dr Roy Spencer Experiment

Image
  Here, I present a paradox associated with IR thermograms; they do not show the temperature of the hot air coming out of a hairdryer—hence the gap. I discuss the background physics of the problem and offer a solution. Nitrogen and Oxygen are not received by the thermoelectric detectors in the camera. Since this clip, I have conducted an experiment running pure CO2 through a hairdryer, and it did exactly what I thought and did not heat the dryer. See the images below. The dryer would have shut down if the greenhouse effect were true, that CO2 passed its heat onto N2 and O2. There was no noticeable difference between air and pure CO2. This was a 250,000 per cent increase in the concentration of CO2. No notable effect.

Response to Sabine Hossenfelder Big Ring Galaxies

Image
This post is in response to Sabine Hossenfelder's clip (below) Astrophysicists Find Big Ring of Galaxies that Should Not Exist .   I wrote the following in the comments. Sadly, it appears to be shadow-banned.  " This is key evidence that the universe is a fractal to me. I have modelled a (growing) fractal from the perspective of an observer within one. My model produces Hubble (diagram) expansion that is accelerating with time from a point beginning. Points on the fractal recede away just as galaxies are observed by astronomers. The model also predicts these large structures, what I call the boughs of the fractal. The CMB is the trunk. We are in the clustered and super-clustered branches of the fractal shape. Last week, my work was published in The International Journal of Quantum Foundations, and 8 months ago, I published in the same journal on how the fractal shares problems known as the quantum. The astronomical observations and the quantum problems are two aspects of ...

Second Paper Published Unifying Cosmos and the Quantum with the Fractal

Experiment on Inverted Fractal Corresponds with Cosmological Observations and Conjectures https://ijqf.org/archives/7011 In around nine months, I have had my second paper accepted by the International Journal of Quantum Foundations, this one on Fractal Cosmology. My first was on the Fractal and Quantum problems. While these are not pair-reviewed, they are my unique ideas and experiments, and they are now crystallised in a journal.  What response will I get from these? The two papers go together. It has been around 26 years of thinking and working towards this. The fractal is 'the bridge' between the quantum and the cosmos. My work does not point to any insights on gravity, though it may have something to say about 'dark matter'. I will only progress on this if I get encouragement to do so. It is time to move on to other things.  See my early post on the submission of this paper.  Fractal Cosmology Paper Unifying Theory Submitted
