Holography and cosmology [PDF]
We consider a recent generalisation by Bousso of an earlier holography proposal by Fischler and Susskind. We demonstrate that in general inhomogeneous universes such a proposal would involve extremely complicated - possibly fractal - light sheets. Furthermore, in general such a light sheet cannot be known a priori on the basis of theory and moreover ...

Time has always played a crucial role in cosmology. I review some of the aspects of the present cosmological model which are more directly related to time, such as: the definition of a cosmic time; the existence of typical timescales and epochs in an expanding universe; the problem of the initial singularity and the origin of time; the cosmological ...

The crisis and the 40+ anomalies in Cosmology have been resolved, not by new Physics but by a new physical paradigm of the universe.

Cosmological tests for a linear coasting cosmology [PDF]
A strictly linear evolution of the scale factor is a characteristic feature in several classes of alternative gravity theories. In this article we investigate the overall viability of an open linear coasting cosmological model. We report that this model is consistent with gravitational lensing statistics (within $1 $) and accomodates old high-redshift

Peter Strawson’s Descriptive Metaphysics and its Cosmological Implications [PDF]
The focus of this article is the examination of potential applications of linguistic philosophy, particularly the philosophy of natural language, to elucidate certain aspects of cosmology.

The Truncated Lognormal Distribution as a Luminosity Function for SWIFT-BAT Gamma-Ray Bursts
The determination of the luminosity function (LF) in Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) depends on the adopted cosmology, each one characterized by its corresponding luminosity distance.

Cosmology at the millennium [PDF]
One hundred years ago we did not know how stars generate energy, the age of the Universe was thought to be only millions of years, and our Milky Way galaxy was the only galaxy known. Today, we know that we live in an evolving and expanding Universe comprising billions of galaxies, all held together by dark matter.

This paper aims to demonstrate that modern cosmology has overlooked the systematic and holistic aspects of the universe’s evolution. It is based on the notion that the primordial universe comprised a two-component quantum superfluid and a synthesis of ...
