“Modern cosmology, and indeed, much of modern physical science, is self-serving. It is not designed to make fundamentally new discoveries, merely to explore the current knowledge base. Even worse, where the assumptions cannot be tested independently of the model (and most of cosmology falls into this category), the assumption becomes law and forms the base for further assumptions.
Here’s the thing—if a scientific enquiry is conducted on the basis of an assumed model, and moves towards a result or outcome of that enquiry in a series of progressive logical steps, then clearly, the final result is assumed. The whole process is anchored in an assumed model; therefore the outcome is a subset of that initial assumption. Furthermore, the system reinforces itself.”
Quote from Hilton Ratcliffe’s editorial in the Feb. 2012 newsletter of the
Alternative Cosmology Group
One model acceptable
“Big Bang” so called
A truth everlasting
Oft overhauled
Expanding space carrying
All there within
Since that great explosion
Without a din
The universe when quite young
Sports those mature
Some think far too much for
Time to ensure
Dark matter, dark energy
Black holes galore
Space curvature guiding
Waves to the shore
The fingers of gravity
Reach to the night
At greater than light speed
Worrisome plight
New wonders of make-believe
No doubt will shine
Born out in those heavens
Of Thought’s design
