Universe is 640 times older than we think

Update: I have since writing this blog published this paper: Normalisation of CMB Redshift with Local Hubble Redshift Values Increases the Age of the Universe to 8.8 Trillion Years

Not 13.8 billion years old, but 8.8 trillion years old. (Madness!)

For a while now, I have had Sunday mornings as a special time to work on things that I haven't touched on in a while, as a break away from writing. This morning, within 20 minutes less, I cracked something that is of real interest, the real age of the universe. I don't care if I'm out or crude, but it makes a lot more sense, and it has me thinking even more.

I have not been able to reconcile the current claimed age of the universe is some 13.8 billion years — say 14. I think it is older. This age is all derived from astronomical observations and cosmological models.

Two other strange things: how can we have the CMB (that has cooled from around 3000 Kelvin to 2.7 Kelvin temperature), and at the same location galaxies that have redshifted only in the visible. That is a dissonance: 'cosmic dissonance'. Finally, we are said to collide with our nearest galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, in 5 billion years, yet our pre-solar system universe, 9 billion years of it, is said to be a story of constant collision. 9 billion years of it!! Something is wrong, and the only thing missing is deep time. Include it, then it would make sense.

I have been thinking for some time now that the universe must be much older than we think it is. I am inspired by the geological concept or principle of deep time. I think we need to think cosmological deep time. And I have for some time been thinking that the large-scale observations may well be a frozen picture due to special relativity. They are not telling us the true story; they are distorting a picture.

This morning I put my number on the age of the universe. I think the universe is not 14 billion years old but 8800 billion years old. And here is how I come to this crude figure.

What we have is good (linear) data, corresponding with Hubble expansion out to about 8 billion years back (point 'a' on the diagram below). We also have the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the claimed cooled and redshifted remnants of the so-called Big Bang, at around 14 billion years out. I lined the two up, ignoring the current claimed 14 billion-year age of the CMB. 8 billion years out sees a red shift change (z value) of 1, and then the current Big Bang CMB (not on the diagram) swings out to right a redshift (z) value of around 1100. This high value corresponds to the amount of redshifting that has taken place.

So, using 'the good' Hubble expansion data that we have to point a, I continued the line straight line out to include the CMB z value of 1100, point b on the diagram. How many years would that be? 1100 times 8 = 8800 billion or 8.8 trillion.



What I have done is accepted the Hubble expansion is true, and that the CMB is true, and married them together, but relied on the Hubble data.
Keep in mind that at the current 14 billion years out, the universe is expanding at the speed of light. I am applying special relativity to this light-speed expansion: that an observer (us) will see a frozen picture due to this phenomenon. And that is what I think is happening.
Ernest Rutherford, the father of radiocarbon dating (true), is said to have increased our understanding of the age of the Earth by a factor of 100. With this crude figure, I would have increased our understanding of the age of the universe by a factor of 640.
Now, those fully developed galaxies we are observing with the James Webb space telescope right near the CMB make more sense. Not complete sense, but more. At least to me.
Don't worry; I am still deeply confused, too.

Update:
Upon delving into how the rare elements were created, there is a mechanism for them, colliding neutron stars, so I withdraw that concern or paradox. https://youtu.be/MmgMboWunkI?t=576

Natural fractal lake, Arethusa Pool, the worlds only?

Is Arethusa Pool (New Zealand) and its islands the world's only natural fractal lake? I was there with my family in January. It was a wonderful day and very exciting for me—mathematically speaking. Arethusa Pool (and its island) is on Mou Waho Island, Lake Wanaka, the South Island of New Zealand, and the South Pacific Ocean. Water (the South Pacific Ocean), land (South Island New Zealand), water (lake Wanaka), land (Mou Waho Island), water (Arethusa Pool), land (islands on Arethusa Pool); water in a puddle after rain (or when I filled it), land as small as a square centimetre inside the puddle, ..... water??   Arethusa Pool, and Lake Wanaka New Zealand 2015.

Fractal Dimension, (Economic's) Elasticity and Complexity

Update May 2017 This is by far my best idea; I have written it up in a working paper at  my academia.edu  and  vixra , and named it:   Quantum Mechanics, Information and Knowledge, all Aspects of Fractal Geometry and Revealed in an Understanding of Marginal Economics. I shall post the Abstract, followed by the original post, followed by the paper. I hope to have someone collaborate and review my work in time. Abstract Fractal geometry is found universally and is said to be one of the best descriptions of our reality – from clouds and trees to market price behaviour. As a fractal structure emerges  – the repeating of a simple rule –  it appears to share direct properties familiar to classical economics, including production, consumption, and equilibrium. This paper was an investigation into whether the mathematical principles behind ‘the market’ – known as marginalism – is an aspect or manifestation of a fractal geometry or attractor. Total and margin...

ePublic Goods. Is the internet making new public goods?

Keywords: Public Goods, Internet, Media, Copyright, Market Failure, File Sharing, ePublic Goods An Explanation of the Mass Failure in the Market: the Internet – the Creator of ePublic Goods   First published: October 9, 2010 Abstract Media and entertainment industries are declining; profitability is down due to ‘freer computer access. Is the internet producing ‘Public goods’ from what were Private goods? With respect to these goods and the Internet, the assumption used to classify ‘Private goods' and Public goods in an economy (the degree of excludability and rivalry) was analysed, and the respective industries were tested for being Public Goods. It was concluded that these goods within the entertainment/media industries are slowly being repositioned from what is termed 'private' or 'club'/'congestion' goods to their extreme opposite, public goods. The ‘free rider problem’ of Public Goods has become the ‘free copy problem’ with respect to t...
