Newtonian Cosmology with modified gravity law? #196

Hi Roy. As the only one here (I think) to also be supporting a black hole universe, I feel a sort of obligation to make a comment or two. What I have to offer comes from just my own perspective and is not based on too close a reading. I can't follow the paper well at all and this is only partially to do with the distortions in the equations. I think Browne gets into trouble right from the start in linking this to the zero-point fields. While I used to like the ZPF too, and submitted a paper on that once (rejected), I have recently come to the view that they are not at all necessary. It is possible to come up with a theory of gravity based only on the CMB, provided that we use the 'hotter' CMB found at remote distances from us. The main evidence for the ZPF was considered to be the Casimir effect and even that has now come into question. My position now would be that the ZPF are purely fictitious. Concerning the problems in the equations in that paper, and other aspects of the Apeiron archive, have you given a thought to how to preserve this archive in a clearer, more secure format? Maybe you (or someone) could apply for a grant to do this. It's really too valuable to be as inaccessible as it seems to be. The quality of those papers is generally far greater than what can be found in the non-mainstream journals today. Matt |

When looking only at the last line of Universes, Black Holes and Elementary Particles, it is seen that Peter Browne calculates for the Hubble constant a value
Yes, it's possible to calculate the self-energy of an electron and via
It's in the air ! For quite some time, apparently. Both @ExpEarth and @HanDeBruijn have picked up this idea of a Black Hole Universe.
About the Inertial Induction and the Potential Energy Problem. Much of the theory as put forward by Amitabha Ghosh has been worked out further, for example in the section Origin of Inertia at my website. |

Hello friends,
With this note I propose to seed a discussion of alternate cosmology with an old article by Peter F. Browne that appeared in Apeiron in 1994. Peter, who passed away a decade ago, had long been active in the field during his career at UMIST in Manchester. In fact, the earliest publication of his that I have able to locate was an article on a tired-light deSitter cosmology that appeared in Nature in 1964. Of course the 1994 article too was written long before dark topics became the rage in cosmology; yet one proposition in that article seems to foreshadow the darkness to come: "Electromagnetic energy density in the external field of an electron provides gravitational mass density which is the source of a gravitational field. The gravitational field, in turn, provides energy density which makes a further contribution to the source of the same field (i.e. a self-source term)."
From this he deduces that "A universe, therefore, behaves as a black hole for both an internal and an external observer. The black
hole horizon at r = R severs connection between regions r < R and r > R, in which sense a universe becomes a perfectly isolated system in an infinite Cosmos."
He defines an aether fluid, whose velocity is assumed non-uniform in the presence of a gravitational field. Thus there are two Doppler shifts: that "relative to the Euclidean frame a normal Doppler shift, and that relative to the aether fluid a generalized Doppler shift." ? If the source is at rest relative to the Euclidean frame, it still has motion relative to the aether fluid, and the Doppler shift due to this motion is called a “gravitational redshift.”"
I find it difficult to wrap my mind around this dual Doppler shift concept, and yet it seems eerily akin to the notion of a redshift due to the generalized relativity I tinkered with back in the early 80s. Moreover, I find a striking parallel between this generalized Doppler shift and the cosmic drag Amitabha deduced from the inertial induction hypothesis he put forward about the same time.
If any members are tempted to investigate the work of Peter and Amitabha as a possible foundation for a more robust cosmological (redshift) model, I would be happy to provide the references to which I have access. If you would like to consult articles in the Apeiron archive, please be forewarned that fonts have not been embedded in many of the PDF files, partially through oversight, but actually many files date from a time when I was producing paper originals for the printer. There is a partial workaround: you can install the Mathtype editor in a Google Workspace , and then open the archived PDFs in the same browser. Most of the Math fonts will appear correctly, with some exceptions, such as Greek characters. If anyone finds a more complete solution, please share with the rest of us. Here are the links to the article by Peter and one by Amitabha.

I would be happy to provide clarifications if I am able. Cheers, Roy
