A Interpreting SDSS extragalactic data in the era of JWST

AI Thread Summary
Empirical evidence from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) challenges the ΛCDM standard model of Big Bang cosmology, highlighting inconsistencies with the Hubble constant, clustering parameter, and other anomalies. A new predictive "temporal geometry" model is proposed, which aligns with SDSS data and may address these cosmological tensions, though it requires further validation from the scientific community. The discussion emphasizes the significance of data interpretation in cosmology, particularly with the impending launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This advancement is expected to yield groundbreaking discoveries that could reshape our understanding of the universe. The ongoing dialogue reflects the dynamic nature of cosmological research and its implications for future studies.

Talk Description (Abstract)
We present empirical evidence from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including statistically-significant, independent measurements of galaxy theta-z, redshift-magnitude, and redshift-population. These corroborating data sets are clearly inconsistent with the optimal ΛCDM standard model of Big Bang cosmology, exacerbating the Hubble constant tension; the σ8 (clustering parameter) discrepancy; the lensing anomaly; the large-angular-scale anomalies in CMB temperature and polarization; and other anomalies that now confront cosmologists. A set of predictive equations are put forward that are consistent with de Sitter's exact solution to the Einstein field equations; this new predictive "temporal geometry" model, which requires vetting by the mathematical physics and cosmology communities, is consistent with the SDSS data and relieves the unexpected new tensions in cosmology created by initial and ongoing JWST observations.

The CERN talk and presentation materials provide a fascinating look into the current state of interpreting extragalactic data in the era of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The speaker presents empirical evidence from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) that challenges the current standard model of Big Bang cosmology and raises important questions about the Hubble constant, clustering parameter, lensing anomaly, and other anomalies that have been observed.

The speaker also introduces a new predictive "temporal geometry" model that is consistent with the SDSS data and offers a potential solution to these tensions in cosmology. However, they also acknowledge that this model requires further vetting by the mathematical physics and cosmology communities.

Overall, this talk highlights the exciting and ever-evolving nature of cosmology and the important role that data interpretation plays in shaping our understanding of the universe. With the upcoming launch of the JWST, we can expect even more groundbreaking discoveries and challenges to our current models of the universe, and it will be fascinating to see how this new data will impact our understanding of the cosmos.
 
Abstract The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has significantly advanced our ability to study black holes, achieving unprecedented spatial resolution and revealing horizon-scale structures. Notably, these observations feature a distinctive dark shadow—primarily arising from faint jet emissions—surrounded by a bright photon ring. Anticipated upgrades of the EHT promise substantial improvements in dynamic range, enabling deeper exploration of low-background regions, particularly the inner shadow...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.
Title: Can something exist without a cause? If the universe has a cause, what caused that cause? Post Content: Many theories suggest that everything must have a cause, but if that's true, then what caused the first cause? Does something need a cause to exist, or is it possible for existence to be uncaused? I’m exploring this from both a scientific and philosophical perspective and would love to hear insights from physics, cosmology, and philosophy. Are there any theories that explain this?
