In the 1920's it was discovered that the Milky Way is not alone in the universe. In fact, it is one of billions, and because most other galaxies spectra show a redshift, it was immediately thought that the others were speeding away in all directions. A number of cosmologist are having second thoughts about the idea of this recession, because if it were true, some distant quasars are moving away with speeds close to the speed of light. The further celestial units are found the greater the redshift, so, it should not be long until one is able to see units moving beyond the speed of light according to their spectra reckoning. In view of Einstein's relativity theory, which prohibits mass moving beyond the speed of light, this does not make good sense.
Another thing concerning the correlation between distance
and redshift is the fact that relatively nearby galaxies do not
give the same redshift expected from their indicated
distances. Thus, pointing to the idea that their creation was
approximately formed in the same time frame as the local
galaxy. Therefore, according to the SQT, it is not expected
that there would be a great difference in the redshift
concerning the distance between the local galaxies. A Dutch
mathematician Willem de Sitter found a static solution to
Einstein's equations of general relativity. Although the SQT
states that the universe is in equilibrium, it does not mean
galaxies do not move. As a matter of fact they do move,
for instance, local galaxies are determined to be moving with
a speed of 600 kilometers per second. This motion was
determined in 1977 by investigators for the most part by
using the background radiation as a frame work because its
temperature is virtually constant across the entire sky.
Using balloon-borne instruments it was recorded that in one
particular direction the radiation was a few thousandth of a
degree hotter than average and in the opposite direction it
was cooler by the same amount. This can be determine by
the radiation being red shifted in the one direction and
blue shifted in the opposite direction, this being caused by
the motion of the Milky Way. By the same method it is
determined that all of the other galaxies around it are also in
motion. Several groups of cosmologist are looking for
what is termed "The Great Attractor" that they figure must
be the cause of the motion of the local galaxy, as well as
others. In fact The Milky Way belongs to the Virgo Cluster
of galaxies and the super-cluster is moving at 600 kilometers
per second toward the Hydra Centaurus Super-cluster. This
super-cluster in turn is also moving toward what they think is
"The Great Attractor," at 600 kilometers per second. If
there is such an Attractor then the galaxy is being pushed
toward that mass because of the expansion of space as it
strives to hold that mass together and not by any power of the
great mass itself. On the other hand, it may just be that,
on a whole, the universe is no different than the solar
system with rotating planets or the galaxies with rotating star
masses. In other words, the clusters and super-clusters of
galaxies, yes, and even the so called Great Attractor can be
simply rotating around in a gigantic prodigious circle so
enormous that one is only able to view, but a small segment
of an ark of this colossal torus. The very fact that no galactic
clusters or super-clusters can be found to be at rest or
motionless relative to the microwave background might be
telling that the vast scale motion of galaxies is circular or
perhaps elliptical or donut shaped, as the case may be. This
would be more in keeping with nature as a whole and with
the Space Quantum Theory in particular, whereby, the
quantum exists, not only in the finite, but also in the infinite
realm of physical things. See Fig 28
Galaxies are like atoms and clusters and super-clusters
are like molecules. They float around in the universal
spacetronic field like gaseous molecules that float around in
a container here on earth, of which its temperature can be
determined. As gas molecules share motion (heat) with one
another, likewise, it may be assumed the celestial molecules
share celestial motion (heat) with one another, therefore, it is
no wonder that the universe is bathed in an almost even
three degree Kelvin temperature. It is simply the
temperature of the universe as a whole assemble. It is
the temperature of the universal spacetronic expanding field
that is in equilibrium with the super-clusters of galaxies of
the universe. Super-clusters of galaxies move around in the
universe affecting one another with their motion just as
molecules move around in a container affecting one another
with their motion. Radio Astronomers claim the temperature
of the universe is 2.7 degrees Kelvin. If this be the case
there is no need of a Big Bang with all of its complications to
explain the temperature of the universe. Then all of the
super-clusters of galaxies seen started with little bangs all
over the universe and evolved into what are seen today.
Since the article above was written it has been learned
that team's surveying the galactic fields for the past six-year
period (1984-1990) have finally discovered a point where
galaxies no longer show peculiar motion, and farther out are
galaxies with the opposite flow, back in the direction of the
Milky Way. In other words cosmologist have reached the
heart of the Great Attractor where all peculiar motion has
ceased and galaxies are at rest with the expansion rate, and
the background microwave field. This does not mean that
they have found the center of the universe, but merely the
center of a super-supergalactic field of which a number of
galactic superclusters belong, including the local cluster.
Galaxies on the far side of this center, when the red shift of the
distance background radiation was subtracted, the recession
velocities of galaxies were slowed producing a so called infall
of motion. Based on the power of the Great Attractor
astronomers have estimated its mass to be at least thirty
times that of the Local Supercluster, the equivalent of 10,000
trillion suns. Even though the Milky Way obscures a large
portion of this tremendous collection of galaxies from
earth view, it is thought to be a flattened super-supergalactic
field some 100 million light-years thick and twice as wide.
The local group appears to be rushing sidelong across the
expanding fabric of space, perhaps circling this huge
conglomerate of galaxies. On the other hand, some
astronomers were mapping the galaxies on the other side of
the local cluster from the Grate Attractor and found a Great
Wall of galaxies, the size only limited by the extent of their
survey. Its dimensions are some half-billion light-years
long, and about 200 million light-years wide. It is rather
skinny, only 15 million light-years thick. This Great Wall of
galaxies is known as the Perseus-Pisces-Pegasus Supercluster.
This stupendous configuration of galaxies does not appear
to be drawing the local cluster toward it. By mapping the
streaming velocities of galaxies over the vast expanse of
space, astronomers hope to discover the distribution of
galaxies, and consequently matter in the cosmos. One of the
peculiar observations that is turning up with all investigators
is the vastness of the huge quantities of space devoid of
galaxies. Gigantic bubble like voids, some as large as 100
million light-years in diameter. Some groups think these voids
gives the picture of the universe as a soap-bubble universe
of separated voids. While others think of the universe as a
sponge. Still others are trying to find what is termed the
"missing mass", to close the universe, in these void spots, dark
mass. The Space Quantum Theory sees these voids as
a natural condition required of the expansion of the
spacetronic field as necessary for the continual creation of
mass in the center of all galaxies. As the hydrogen mass
pores out of the galactic nucleus more void space develops
around the galactic fields causing huge quantities of vacant
space. This is a natural condition under the theory, just as
the red shift in the light coming from the distant galaxies is a
natural condition based on the expansion of the universe as
a whole as time marches on. Not from galaxies speeding
away, but simply because of the expansion factor.
In an article by John Boslough in the National Geographic,
May 1989, he wrote about the search for the secrets of
Gravity. He relates how Ephraim Fischbach of Purdue
University, believes there is a natural force counteracting
gravity. Ephraim arrived at this conclusion from experiments
performed by Baron Roland von Evotvos, a Hungarian who
measured the gravity effect on various materials. These tests
showed objects fall at a different rate depending on their
atomic makeup, tightly packed nuclei of atoms causes them
to fall more slowly than less tightly packed nuclei. In 1986,
Fischbach put forth a theory that tightly packed nuclei of
protons and neutrons, such as occurs in some atoms gives
rise to a repulsive effect of a fifth force. For instance,
Fischbach claims that iron, having the most tightly packed
nucleus of any element, even though uranium has more
protons and neutrons, is nudged upward most vigorously by
the fifth force. A proof of the spacetronic force may lie in
this fifth force of Ephraim Fischback. The Space Quantum
Theory claims that it is the spacetronic force that holds the
nucleus together in the fist place. The spacetronic force which
culminates in the center of each atom is much stronger in a
more tightly packed nucleus, consequently, the lines of
spacetronic force on an iron object is greater than, for
instance, aluminum whose atomic nuclei are not as tightly
packed. The earth has it's center of gravity, similarly, all
objects have a center of gravity, also. Therefore, influenced
by the gravitational field of the earth, iron will fall slower than
aluminum since it is the weakness or strength of the field
between the earth's center of gravity and an object's center
of gravity, relative to the strength of the spacetronic field
between them and that of the field surrounding both objects
that determines the strength of the fall. The stronger field
of the iron mass may give it a more vigorous nudge upward
than aluminum. If it were the other way around between them,
there would be a greater attraction. See vacuum chamber Fig below
The jury is still out on the decision of which theory of the
evolution of the universe is the correct view. To date, the
jury has not even been presented with the Space Quantum
Theory, however, the three theories will be compared in this
work, be compared nevertheless. The first real theory about
the creation of the universe, besides the biblical account, "
Let there be light", came with a Big Bang back in the 1920's
from no other than a Belgian cleric, the Abbe Georges
Lemaitre. Most astronomers have swung back and forth
between The Hot Big Bang Theory and the Steady State
Theory presented in 1948 by Fred Hoyle and colleagues that
was first presented in Eccles. 1:9, "and there is no new thing
under the sun". The Space Quantum Theory, first presented
in 1963 in a small booklet, has not been published at this
time in order to be considered. It is hoped that this book will
be read and the theory presented to the jury at some time in
the future. The Abbe proposed the beginning of all
galaxies in the universe came from a concentrated single
lump , which he called the primeval atom, that later George
Gomow called the Ylem or Cosmic Egg. This atom then
exploded, flinging all of the galactic material off into space
whence they coalesced. This theory Gomow and his
co-workers picked up and developed mathematically in a
now famous paper written in 1948. In this paper they
predicted that radiation from the very hot early stages of
the universe should still be around today, but with its
temperature reduced to only five degrees Kelvin. The fact
that this background radiation was actually discovered by
Penzias and Wilson in 1963 became the final proof that the
universe began with the Hot Big Bang as far as Cosmologist
were concerned. They claimed the universe started off
with a homogeneous glob of matter containing all mass
substances. This hot dense mass, with a temperature of 10^13
K and a density of 10^14 g/cm^3 for some ungodly reason
simply blew apart. The huge explosion sent mass material out
in all directions. Boiling together into elements of 75%
hydrogen and 25% helium with a smattering of other
elements in just a few hours. For the next million years or so,
the universe continued expanding, without anything exciting
happening. From that very hot temperature in the first few
seconds, the temperature eventually dropped to a few
thousand degrees. The neutrons and electrons, not having
enough energy to overcome the electromagnetic attraction
between one another, then, simply joined up to form the
various atoms. Due to gravitational effects, denser than
average areas appeared and this material coalesced into the
galaxies seen today. They predicted that the hot fire ball's
temperature should have cooled down to about five degrees
Kelvin at the present time. These ideas 25% helium,
which is readily determined to be in all galaxies, and a
background radiation temperature of about three degrees K
are given as proof that the universe started off in a Hot Big
Bang. Of course it does not say why the Ylem was so hot
or what it was made of to make it so hot. Nor does it explain
why the Cosmic Egg parts, on the whole, are so evenly spread
out. Then there is the consideration of the microwave
background radiation and why the temperature is the same
coming from all directions, when it takes that radiation 20
billion years to get here from one direction and the same time
to get here from the opposite direction; how is this
temperature identical when theory gives no reasonable
connection between each opposite point for the temperature
to be the same? For this reason big bang theorist had to invent
an inflationary period to have occurred before the big bang
to account for a causal relationship between the various parts
of the universe, so that this background radiation is
compatible with the theory. Of course the idea was
conceived by the priest Lemaitre from the notion that all
galaxies are moving away from one another, as judged by
the redshift of the light spectrum coming from distant
celestial objects. The indication was that space was
expanding and carrying the galaxies along with it for the
ride. The galaxies are not expanding nor the space within
them it is just the space between them that is expanding. So
it was natural to assume that at one time all the galaxies were
in one spot at one time and must have exploded to produce
the effect seen today. The Big Bang Theory pictures the
galaxies moving away from one another as paper spots pasted
on a balloon would move away from one another as the
balloon was blown up. The further they are away they are,
the faster they move, causing the redshift in their light
spectrum. It does not explain what space is composed of or
why it expands in the first place and many other questions,
like, why does space look foamy up close and why do virtual
particles pop in and out of the world. See Fig 30
The Steady State Theory, which Fred Hoyle and
associates formulated in the 1940's, since there was a
discrepancy between the age of the universe and the age of the
earth and other celestial objects. The Hubble time limit
of the universe was 1.8 billion years old. Yet the oldest rocks
on earth are known to be at the least three billion years
old. Analyzing the ages of the stars revealed numbers like
10 and 20 billion years. Walter Baade in 1952 recalculated
the size of the universe and rescaled it by a factor of two
which took care of that condition. These discrepancies were
just too much for Hoyle and others so they invented the
steady state idea which required the creation of mass in
the voids between galaxies. He and his co-workers
conceived the idea that it only required a small quantity of
mass to be created (about one particle per cubic kilometer
per year) that eventually coalesces into galaxies to take the
place of those departing, producing the steady state view
of the universe. They just assumed that the redshift was
noncosmological so this was no concern to them. The
expansion was real, it was caused by the pressure of the
formation of new galaxies. The universe always looks the
same way because new galaxies take the place of old
galaxies and there is no discrepancy of age since galaxies can
be almost any age. The Steady State Theory was believed to
be the correct idea as to the way the universe was being
created until its demise occurred with two discoveries. The
first was the discovery of the radio-source count. In 1961
Martin Ryle and Peter Scheuer published counts of sources
of cosmic radiation radio-frequencies. They thought the
bright ones were nearby sources and the faint ones were
distant sources. They reported that the density of radio
sources increased as one went deeper into space. If the
universe was always the same, as the Steady State claimed,
then there were too many faint sources than there should
have been for this to be the case. This simply means the
Steady State Theory is not compatible with the faint radio
count data. Another blow to the Steady State Theory was
the discovery by Penzias and Wilson in 1965 when they
discovered the radiation background temperature predicted
by Gomow. Try as they may they could not get rid of the
radio noise they heard in their big horn antenna. They later
discovered that it must be the background radiation predicted
by Gomow in his 1948 paper. There was another discovery
in the 1970's pointing to the evolutionary nature of the
universe. Maarten Schmidt did major observational work on
quasars. He asserted there were a thousand more quasars
two billion years ago indicating an evolving universe as
evidence against the steady state model. So it was not long till
cosmologist began once again to think about the Big Bang
scenario. See Fig 31
In the previous pages it is hoped that The Space Quantum
Theory has been explained with enough clarity for one to
understand that space, the vacuum, is not a void, but
rather is composed of stationary units which are called
spacetrons that vibrate with the speed of light squared.
Before the creation of the world they existed in a state of
equilibrium, each unit occupying the same quantity of the
expanse of the universe as its neighbor. In contrast with
the Big Bang Theory the world of time and energy does not
start in one place with a tremendous explosion of matter
material, but rather, time began with the commencement
of the expansion of these spacetronic units. For the same
reason that the big bang people cannot explain why the
material substance exploded to begin the world neither can
the SQT explain why the spacetronic units began to expand
to begin the world. Of course, one could suppose that the
condition had always existed and that the beginning of the
world was simply a new section of infinite space that was
exhibiting this expansion effect for the first time; an
evolutionary growth of organized mass energy in this
infinite space. Therefore, one could conclude it is a natural
condition that requires no explanations. It needs no
creation, nor can it be destroyed, the universe is just what
is seen, space and energy, it needs no excuse for living, it just
is what it is. Like what God was to have said to Moses, I AM
that I AM.
The world begins with the universal expansion of the
spacetronic field, even in the area of the Milky Way. The first
event is the accumulation of the energy envelopes, of
contracted spacetrons surrounded by a field of expanded
spacetrons. The law in force is the Law of Compensation,
space for energy and energy for space. Energy is simply the
pressure of the unit. The commencement of the
spacetronic expansion on the whole along with the adiabatic
energy exchange between the field creates the black body
background radiation, the temperature of the universe
astronomers are able to detect today, that has been
traveling in this direction for the past 20 billions of years.
The accumulation of energy envelopes are the many very
faint radio signals Ryle found in the distant past, along with
the few less dense strong radio signals indicating a less
distant source. The quasars being the outcropping of these
energy sources that eventually evolved into the galaxies
seen today. Finally, looking into the universe, one sees the
super-clusters of galaxies that forms the universe. A redshift
is seen in the spectrum of distant celestial bodies caused by
the slow expansion factor of the spacetronic field as the
radiant energy passes through different time periods. Galaxies
are not speeding away from the earth nor the earth from
them, all move through the universe in harmony together.
