Ju n 19 98 The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta

Reexamination of general relativistic experimental results shows the universe is governed by Einstein’s static-spacetime general relativity instead of Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding-spacetime general relativity. The absence of expansion redshifts in a static-spacetime universe suggests a reevaluation of the present cosmology is needed. For many decades the Friedmann-Lemaitre spacetime expansion redshift hypothesis has been accepted as the Rosetta of modern cosmology. It is believed to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos just as the archaeological Rosetta unlocked the mysteries of ancient Egypt. But are expansion redshifts The Genuine Cosmic Rosetta? Until now this has been the consensus because of their apparent, most impressive ability to uniquely explain how the twentieth century’s two great astronomical and astrophysical discoveries—meaning of course the Hubble redshift relation and the 2.7K Cosmic Blackbody Radiation (CBR)—can be accounted for within the framework of a hot big bang universe. But this consensus is not universal. For example, Burbidge and Arp continue to note that while most astronomers and astrophysicists
