Dear Dr. Amanda Pagul,

Thank you for being the corresponding author for Self-consistent Combined HST... (PDF). We will be making several references to it over the forthcoming months.

I also read through a bit of who you are. and must say, “Congratulations!” From Chicago to UCR to STSI with some very special stops along the way. Outstanding. Also congratulations on being a co-organizer of the DeepSkies Lab. That is an impressive group. 

I have a rather peculiar question to ask in light of the results of the JWST: Do you think big bang cosmology and the Lambda CDM should part ways? 

It seems there is more strength and agility within the LambdaCDM than the big bang. Also, there is an unusual alternative to the big bang dynamics that is somewhat unexamined and under-analyzed — a natural inflation from the Planck scale base units — https://81018.com/butterworth/ There are many references to a chart of numbers, just simple math, that tells a story: https://81018.com/chart/ In light of the 40+ years of big bang dominance, that chart is obviously quite idiosyncratic and it has its own baggage, yet I think there are many creatives who can address those issues.

Thanks.

Warmly,

Bruce

PS. To begin to follow your work a little more closely, I have started our own internal reference page to your work : https://81018.com/pagul/. There will be several forthcoming references to your work. Thanks again for everything. -BEC
