Face the facts: The Big Bang as a theory doesn’t fit new observations.

In 2024 there’ll be some updating to do!
by Bruce E. Camber

Abstract: Studies of the images coming from the James Webb Space Telescope have forever changed the analysis of our working theories: (1) Big Bang cosmology, (2) the Standard Model for Particle Physics, and (3) the Standard Model for Cosmology, also known as the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model. Our proposal is to reconcile these three orientations of our sciences with the 202 base-2 notations (using Planck’s base units) and to study each notation as it encapsulates everything, everywhere^a throughout all time. Also, we propose that these three theories be reconciled with π (p i), the most-ubiquitous, most-used, oldest, largest (results), working equation within our arsenal of equations. These natural units and dimensionless constants also re-open questions about the finite and infinite relation. Through the infinite qualities of π (p i), all things finite are preconditioned with the qualities of continuity-symmetry-harmony and those three qualities drive the deepest meaning of concepts like truth, ethics and value which give rise to freedom, justice, love, insight, and integrity. All will be involved with the unfolding of 2024.*

Results from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Change Everything

Invented to look back further in time than any previous telescope, and in an orbit around the sun within the L2 about a million miles beyond the earth, the JWST’s expert scientists (best of our best), are dumbfounded by what they are observing. Among our most sacred, “rock-solid theories,” the big bang is slowly being pried open for questioning. Although many scholars are sure the corrections will be to our Standard Models or the Lambda CDM, here we believe that big bang cosmology will finally be put to rest because the 202 base-2 notations (from the Planck base units to this very moment in time) cover all the basics of the big bang. A bonus is that the first 67 notations also open a grid to integrate key emergent disciplines like Langlands programs, string theory, SUSY, causal dynamical triangulation (CDT), causal set theory (CST), the spectral standard model (SSM), hypothetical particles, and all the field theories. Yes, finally and formally these disciplines may be recognized on the grid or matrix of the universe.

Our greatest failing has been our ability to face new facts. We’ve been so conditioned over two generations by big bang cosmology, it is difficult for many to conceive of life without it. For even longer, we have been conditioned by David Hilbert and Kurt Gödel to discount the infinite. And for centuries, we have been told that space-and-time are absolutes (Newton) when a relational spacetime would serve us better.

Truth, ethics, and values

The world is having a problem with the truth, ethics and values. There are mathematical and logical truths whether we like them or not. These are not personal truths or “my truth.” These truths are also not self-evident, but “illusively-concrete“^b and teach us about natural boundaries. We need these boundaries so we can begin to parse, grasp, and understand our universe.

202 Base-2 Notations from the Very Beginning to this Very Time, Right Now.

Take as a given, there is a starting point of the universe. We have the current end-point — today or right now. If we define that first moment of the universe with the smallest natural units — we’ve used the Planck base units — we can begin to parse the universe with base-2 notation whereby everything is directly related to everything, everywhere, for all time.

A most-simple math, base-2 exponential notation, is also the unacknowledged and undeclared math of big bang cosmology. I have written many notes to the leading scholars of the Big Bang theory including Hawking, Gu t h, Linde, Steinhardt and more with no protests. This math is simple. The logic is simple. If the Planck base units are used to start, there are 202 base-2 notations to the current time (and for billions to come). Ostensibly we get the same results if we were to use the ISO’s numbers or even start with other base units. We’ve been told to “follow the money.” We also need to follow the math.

Writing to over 50 0 scholars in just ten years, no one has told us how and why we are wrong. As time has passed, I have come to believe that we haven’t had our comeuppance because we are closer to the truth than those big bang stalwarts who have not followed the base-2 math.

Those 202 base-2 exponential notations are facts no matter whose base units are involved. The very nature of base-2 exponential notation is under-analyzed and quite under-valued.

Pi’s Infinitesimal Sphere to Tredecillions of Spheres per Second
3.141592653589793238462643383+

The second simple example is the calculation for pi (π). Here are those never-ending, never-repeating, scale invariant, irrational, and transcendental numbers of pi (π). Its very essence inculcates continuity (numbers), symmetry (geometries), and harmony (dynamics). It is the very best example of a key dimensionless constant that is underestimated and too-little studied today (although throughout the ages of scholarship, it is arguably our most studied equation).

In 2021 pi (π) was calculated to a record-breaking 62.8 trillion digits by Thomas Keller at the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons in Switzerland.¹ That effort, headed by Prof. Dr. Heiko Rölke, is known as DAViS (Data Analysis, Visualization and Simulation project).² It broke the 2020 record held by an individual, Timothy Mullican of Huntsville, Alabama.³ He had calculated 50 trillion decimal places using just a “personal” computer. Emma Haruka Iwao re-entered this unofficial competition on June 8, 2022 announcing 100 million digits of pi.⁴ Of course, 314 trillion digits will be next benchmark! And like that coverage by LiveScience-News⁵ and their writer, Harry Baker,⁶ it will continue to be a significant story.

More than checking the accuracy and speed of new supercomputers, this most serious science and business also assures us of the continuity of mathematics. A rather long number, this equation is constantly working,

In 2023 there were many homepages that focused on the nature of pi beginning with our January 27 article, Pi Defines the Finite and Infinite. Those numbers establish, then validate numeration. Those numbers also establish, then validate geometry. Then, those same numbers establish and validate periodicity and spin. It is not theory. It is what is — the essential nature of continuity, symmetry and harmony.⁷

Those three concepts do even more when taken together. They become value equations. They also become ethics equations. Our circular chart tells part of that story. These qualities of life and the infinite — continuity-symmetry-harmony — inculcate justice, love, freedom, and truth. And, new and deeper insights about the nature of life and the workings of the sciences will naturally evolve.

Just how old is the universe?

There is a third equation that is also a fact, yet part of its logic is quite impossible to determine and requires the consensus of the many to decide just how old this universe is.

Our calculations for the number of seconds since the universe began were the direct result of a NASA challenge. It sounds a bit silly, perhaps impossible; it’s not. These are calculations that could be done in the sixth grade of any elementary school. Also, given more and more people are involved with studies of global budgets, especially debt, more and more people can readily grasp large numbers and that gives us a sense of our finiteness and limits. The calculations below were first prepared in 2017 for a report to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama for their S p aceApp Challenge.

436,117,076,600,000,000 seconds old^.8

The universe is about 436,117,076,600,000,000 seconds old. That reads: “436 quadrillion, 117 trillion, 76 billion, 600 million seconds” old (or since the universe had its start).

For the first calculation we assumed 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. That gave us 86,400 seconds per day (60x60x24). We’ve used the figure, 365.2425 days per year, to include the leap years within the calculation. But, we then used the age of the universe at 13.82 billion years, not the currently-accepted range closer to 13.79 billion years. In these days more and more scholars and experts within the field have been strongly and consistently arguing to add more years.

One Year: 31,556,952 seconds (31.5 million seconds between Notations 168-169)
– 10 Years: 315,569,520 (s) or 315 million seconds. In our 33^rd year you turn 1 billion (s) old.
1000 years: 31,556,952,000 (s) is 31.5 billion seconds between Notations 178-179.
– 10,000 years: 315,569,520,000 (s) is very close to Notation 182 (330,491,912,986 seconds).
– 100,000 years: 3,155,695,200,000 (s) is 3.155 trillion seconds and is between Notations 185-186.
One million years: 31,556,952,000,000 (s), 31.5+ trillion seconds between 188-189
– 10,000,000 years: 315,569,520,000,000 (315 trillion) near the 192nd notation.
– 100,000,000 years: 3,155,695,200,000,000 (3.1 quadrillion) between the 195th and 196th notations.
One billion years: 31,556,952,000,000,000 (s) is 31.55 quadrillion (s). See 198-199.
– Use 13.82 billion years* for 436,117,076,600,000,000 seconds old early within Notation-202.

* Margin of error: ±.059: In 2012 NASA released nine years of data from Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). The estimated age of the universe was 13.772×10⁹ years (±0.059) (13.772 billion years, with an uncertainty of plus-or-minus 59 million years).

2024

The prior homepage was about eight missing keys that were being missed by our scholars and the academic community. It includes these factors and more. With this homepage we are naming the first 67 notations, the Alpha Zone, and all the blackholes within our current time, Notation-202, Omega Zones. There is currently no designations for these zones. Those words, Alpha Zones, have been used by many but not within cosmology and theoretical physics. The alpha zones are the creation zones of the universe in contrast with the recycling centers known as black holes. Also, these alpha zones may be considered a better definition of dark matter and dark energy. It is all based on the very simplest mathematics and geometries.

I think simple math will always win over convoluted and difficult math. Those 202 notations are the same 202 notations that define the big bang theory, yet instead of trying to jam everything into a singularity at the start of the universe, we start with a single, infinitesimal sphere that is defined by the Planck base units or its equivalent. That concept of the big bang singularity is little understood by anybody.

Spheres are not simple. The work of Fourier, Gauss, Poincaré, Planck, Hales, Milnor, Smale, and Strogatz, to name just a few, open gates to complexity. Notwithstanding, these spheres create an infinitesimally-small, but universal grid or matrix that connects everything, everywhere, for all time. And, throughout the earliest part of that grid are simple perfections within space-time.

Our Conclusions and Summary

(1) The 202 base-2 notations are a most dynamic container that is our universe...
(2) An infinitesimal sphere is generated for each unit of Planck Length-and-Time.
(3) Each sphere inculcates the three faces of pi(π), continuity-symmetry-harmony.
∴ The finite is preconditioned by continuity-symmetry-harmony of the infinite...

Can these basic concepts be the starting point for our universe? Why not? Thank you.

Endnotes
These comments are often afterthoughts; that is, these are written after emails and direct messages have been sent out.

[a] Encapsulate everything, everywhere throughout all time. With all the talk about the size of the universe being beyond our imaginations, to suggest there was once a singular time and place where it all began may appear too great of a stretch for many. Yet, that is what we are asked to accept with big bang cosmology including the compression of it all into a singularity. But, then the more strident imaginatively push it all out in a virtually-instantaneous inflationary epoch. Perhaps that’s what is meant by the expression, “…adding insult to injury.” Those two activities, uniquely defined within big bang cosmology, are never to be seen again. When scholars finally take a moment to study the numbers of base-2 exponential notation, they will see that base-2 is quite inflationary enough without an attempt at a singularity of all things and an inflation that is one-of-a-kind. More to come…

[b] Illusively-concrete. Sometimes referred to as a stretched metaphor or a compressed conflict, these are generally new concepts that need to be forced into a section of our brain. How can something be concrete yet at the same time be illusive? By themselves numbers can be illusive. How do all the numbers of pi create a sphere, especially one with the densities defined by the Planck base units? That is illusive concreteness. More to come…
