ravell Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 According to the published data the Universe as a result of the Big Bang, expands at an increasing rate, with a speed increase of about 70 (km / s) / Mpc, the same for all observed galaxies, regardless of their distance from the Earth. The radius of the observed Universe was set at about 13.7 billion light years. Based on the above data the age of the Universe was estimated at about 13.7 billion years. From the modeled calculations in the Sagitarius BR program available at the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1cu74xj4ep9iyq/SagitariusBRprogramForCalculationsOfSpeedOfStars.xlsx?dl=0, one can draw contradictory conclusions regarding the age of the Universe and the Big Bang itself, namely: 1. The Universe's expansion speed corresponding to the Hubble parameter H = approx. 70 (km / s) / Mpc, with the size of the Universe reached R = about 13.7 billion light years, can be obtained with many different accelerations of expansion and initial velocities Vo , after various time laps T for each case (3 examples in the table below). Thus, based on the Hubble parameter H and the observed size of the Universe R, the age of the Universe can not be reliably determined. 2. Observed , on the basis of the spectral shifts, the increase in the velocity of the galaxies moving away H = approx. 70 (km / s) / Mpc, the same for all galaxies, regardless of their distance from the Earth, contradicts the expansion of the Universe. The age of the observed galaxies is the younger the farther the observed galaxy is, which when the Universe expands should cause that the value of the observed parameter H, regardless of the expansion rate of the Universe, should gradually decrease for galaxies becoming older, ie closer to Earth, and we do not observe this. Is it correct to conclude, therefore, that the observed increase in the redshift of spectra from increasingly distant galaxies may result from other unknown reasons and not as the effect of the Big Bang and the expansion of the Universe?

The radius of the observed Universe was set at about 13.7 billion light years. Based on the above data the age of the Universe was estimated at about 13.7 billion years. This is horribly confused. Lets start with the Hubble constant which is, as you say, about 70 (km / s) / Mpc. If that were the same for all galaxies, then the the universe would NOT be expanding at an increasing rate. It would be expanding at the same rate for all galaxies, by definition. However, it turns out (surprisingly) that the rate of expansion is not the same for all galaxies. In fact the rate of expansion started increasing a few billion years ago. The radius of the observable universe is about 45 billion light years, not 13.7 billion light years. 12 minutes ago, ravell said: The Universe's expansion speed corresponding to the Hubble parameter H = approx. 70 (km / s) / Mpc, with the size of the Universe reached R = about 13.7 billion light years, can be obtained with many different accelerations of expansion and initial velocities Vo , after various time laps T for each case (3 examples in the table below). It is hard to make sense of this sentence but you seem to be saying that if the rate of expansion had changed over time then the age of the universe could be different. This ignores the fact that we can measure the rate of expansion at different times. This is how we know that the rate of expansion has started accelerating. So are the expansion rates in your table supported by evidence? 14 minutes ago, ravell said: Observed , on the basis of the spectral shifts, the increase in the velocity of the galaxies moving away H = approx. 70 (km / s) / Mpc, the same for all galaxies, regardless of their distance from the Earth, contradicts the expansion of the Universe. This sentence is even harder to parse I'm afraid. The fact that the recessional speed of galaxies increases linearly with distance was one of the first, and the simplest, bits of evidence for the expanding universe. Can you explain why you think it isn't? (Note that it was not the most convincing evidence. That came later in the form of the CMB.) 17 minutes ago, ravell said: The age of the observed galaxies is the younger the farther the observed galaxy is, which when the Universe expands should cause that the value of the observed parameter H, regardless of the expansion rate of the Universe, should gradually decrease for galaxies becoming older, ie closer to Earth, and we do not observe this. I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say here. Why do you think the value of H should decrease for older galaxies? It is not a function of the age of galaxies. 18 minutes ago, ravell said: Is it correct to conclude, therefore, that the observed increase in the redshift of spectra from increasingly distant galaxies may result from other unknown reasons and not as the effect of the Big Bang and the expansion of the Universe? When this was the only evidence for the expansion of the universe, many other explanations were presented. Not all of these could be ruled out. Until the discovery of the CMB, and all the other evidence for the Big Bang model, at which point all the other models were discarded as they were not able to explain all the evidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbrush Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 "The radius of the observable universe is about 45 billion light years..." Yes and I think that means that the most distant galaxy visible is approx. 30 billion LY away, because the distance to the CMB is about 50% more distant than the most distant visible galaxy, right?

Endy0816 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 @ravell The Universe has a radius greater than its age alone might suggest. Need to also consider the time light takes to reach us. Galaxies will appear younger as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 21.01.2018 at 8:21 PM, Strange said: So are the expansion rates in your table supported by evidence? No, these are just only examples that the parameter H = 70km / s / Mpc , as it is today, can be obtained at many different rates of the expansion of the universe On 21.01.2018 at 8:21 PM, Strange said: Why do you think the value of H should decrease for older galaxies? It is not a function of the age of galaxie Sorry, it is. If the expansion of universe takes place, the parameter H in km/s/Mpc must decrease as the age of the observed galaxy increases, by definition. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law : „ Since the Hubble "constant" H is a constant only in space, not in time, the radius of the Hubble sphere may increase or decrease over various time intervals. The H0 is the value of the Hubble constant today. Current evidence suggests that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating), meaning that, for any given galaxy, the recession velocity dD/dt is increasing over time as the galaxy moves to greater and greater distances; however, the Hubble parameter is actually thought to be decreasing with time, meaning that if we were to look at some fixed distance D and watch a series of different galaxies pass that distance, later galaxies would pass that distance at a smaller velocity than earlier ones.

(Actually, we cannot see galaxies at that distance; it is the size of the observable universe. The furthest galaxies we can see are a bit closer than that. But we probably don't need to worry about that now.) The most distant light we can see is actually the CMB. It was emitted when the universe was about 4.5 billion light years in radius. Since then the universe has been expanding so the light took more than 4.5 billion light years to get here. It is a bit like fish swimming against a current: as the light travels, the distance it has to go is continually increasing. So it took 13.8 billion light years to get here. Meanwhile the universe was still expanding so, by now, the radius is about 46 billion light years. The Wikipedia page has a good explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Size 7 hours ago, ravell said: Could you provide information sources on how the expansion rate was measured for different periods, in km / sec / Mpc, while the Hubble parameter H measured for today is 70km / s / Mpc and is approximately the same for all observed galaxies, regardless of their distance? It is measured (mainly) by measuring the red shift at different distances. There are also indirect ways of measuring it, but that is beginning to get beyond what I understand... It is approximately the same at all distances. It was assumed that it would be gradually reducing over time. But measurements show that it started increasing (relatively) recently. Hence the need for "dark energy" (whatever it is) to explain the acceleration. 7 hours ago, ravell said: Sorry, it is. If the expansion of universe takes place, the parameter H in km/s/Mpc must decrease as the age of the observed galaxy increases, by definition. It is dependent on the age of the universe, not the age of galaxies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
