THE UNIVERSE IS NOT EXPANDING

BECAUSE GALAXIES' REDSHIFT IS CAUSED BY "LIOU_SCHWARTZ'S STRETCH EFFECT" NOT BY "DOPPLER'S EFFECT".

 

 

Abstract

 

There are only three different kinds of spaces, Euclidean, Elliptic and Hyperbolic. That's mean there are three different kind of Universe. Most astronomer agree that the Universe is not a Euclidean. Assume we are in Elliptic Universe. All the light ray is a geodesic. Light ray will circle the geodesic forever. We are not only can see the same star many times in one direction, we also can see the same star many times in opposite direction. This is not the case. Another proof of not been Elliptic Universe is, the Universe had been so many billions of years. When light ray circle the geodesic forever. It will not escape from our Universe. When collect so many billions of years. Our Universe will be so bright that even in nighttime. Of course this is not the case neither. So our Universe should not be Elliptic Universe. The only possibility is Hyperbolic Universe.

If we are in Hyperbolic space. Very logically all the astronomy data should use the Hyperbolic formula and rules. This is how author concludes that the redshift of Galaxies are cause by the nature of Hyperbolic space, in which the space stretches the light spherical front.

 

A.   WHAT KIND OF UNIVERSE IS WE IN? EUCLIDEAN, ELLIPTIC

OR HYPERBOLIC UNIVERSE.

 

There are only three kinds of space Euclidean , Hyperbolic or Elliptic.

 

Almost all astronomy agrees that the Universe is not Euclidean space. The only two lefts are Hyperbolic and Elliptic.

 

In Elliptic space, every light ray is a geodesic line. Light rays will be circling the geodesic line forever unless blocked by some object. We can see the same light ray of star many times, because the light ray circles in the space forever. Also, we can see the same star from opposite directions many times, because the light ray from other side of star circles in the space forever too. Since the Universe was at least many billions old. All the lights of the sun and stars had collected so many billions of years. The Universe should be so bright even at nighttime. Of course that is not the case. So the possibility of the Universe is only Hyperbolic Universe.

 

Hubble's laws are derived from Euclidean rules and Euclidean formulas. However, if we assume the Universe is in Hyperbolic space, very logically, we must derive its rules and formulas from Hyperbolic rules and Hyperbolic formulas.

 

The rules and formulas of Euclidean and Hyperbolic mathematics are quite different. Hence, the results derived from utilizing these two systems must be different. These differences may be the keys to unveil the mystery of the Universe.

 

B. SPHERICAL WAVE FRONTS

 

When a photon travels a distance . The equation of a light spherical front in Euclidean space is

 

-------------- (1)

 

From Hyperbolic geometry, the equation of the light spherical front is

-------------- (2)

 

Where k is the constant of the space curvature.

(From page 298 of non-Euclidean Geometry by Allen Liou, 1964.)

 

Comparing equation (1) and (2), we can see that the area of the light spherical fronts is very different. Therefore, the Doppler Effect should not be the same for applied between Euclidean space and Hyperbolic space.

 

The area of the Light Spherical Front in Euclidean space is .

What is the area of the Light Spherical Front in Hyperbolic space ?

 

Let us determine the circumference of a circle in Hyperbolic space:

 

Let PQ be the chord of a circle of radius , which subtends an angle , M be the midpoint of the chord, and O be the center of the circle.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the formula of the right-angle in Hyperbolic trigonometry, we have (page 143 of non-Euclidean Geometry by Allen Liou, 1964.)

 

 

If angle à 0

 

or

 

Integrating both sides, we have

Circumference =

 

 

Then, let be the length of the arc of the spherical circle, and be the radius.

By same formula, we have

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The area of the circle strip is

But

Therefore

Integrating both sides, we have

 

C. DOPPLER EFFECT OR "LIOU'S STRETCH EFFECT"

 

When a photon travels a distance , the area of the Light Spherical Front in Euclidean space is . But the area of the Light Spherical Front in Hyperbolic space is

 

 

Comparing the two Spherical Areas in the two different spaces, we easily see that, if we are in Hyperbolic universe, the Light Spherical Front stretches from to . We temporarily call this "Liou's stretch effect".

 

The photon may only travel a distance in Hyperbolic space. But in Euclidean space, it appears to travel a distance of . When is large enough, is much larger than .

 

From the difference of and in Euclidean space, it looks like the object moves from point to point , but the object actually stays still in Hyperbolic universe. From this fact, we can use the Doppler effect in Euclidean universe to calculate galaxy movement away from the Earth as a result of the Universe's expansion or use "Liou's stretch effect" in Hyperbolic universe to calculate the constant of space curvature. Redshift of Doppler effect is caused by the velocity of a moving object. Redshift of "Liou's stretch effect" is caused by the nature of Hyperbolic space. It is static not moving.

 

Since I have only the data of Hubble's constant in velocity not the redshift of frequency. I will use the velocity to calculate the space constant. Using redshift of frequency the result is the same.

 

D. CALCULATION OF SPACE CURVATURE (OR COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT) IN HYPERBOLIC UNIVERSE

 

Let s =

Where s is the distance of galaxies look like moving from point to point in Euclidean space.

Taking the derivative of both sides, we have

where =v (the velocity of galaxies at the remote distance of r), and is the speed of light c.

Therefore

------------- (3)

 

There are several versions of the Hubble's constant. We will select the one most popular one in which, the velocity of galaxies at a distance of six billion light-years move away at a velocity of roughly 90,000 kilometers/sec.

Hence v=90,000 kilometers/sec and r=6 bly.

 

Hence we have

90,000 =

 

 

where bly is billion light-years.

 

 

D. DISCUSSION

 

1. Hubble's constant was not constant.

 

From equation (3), the velocity of galaxies and the remote distance of r were not exactly linear proportions in Euclidean universe. The velocity is more likely in slightly acceleration observed in Euclidean universe.

 

Here, the cosmological constant, , was based on the Hubble's Law at 6 bly. If we based our calculations on a different distance, like one on a distance of 1 or 2 bly, the k value should be slightly different. If we use different versions of Hubble's Law, the cosmological constant k will be even more different. We really need accurate data to determine the constant k.

 

Assuming is correct, the Hubble's diagram in Euclidean space should look like the following diagram.

 

From this chart, it should be called Hubble's accelerator instead of Hubble's constant.

2. What kind of Universe we are really in? Euclidean, Elliptic or Hyperbolic Universe.

 

There are only three different kind of space, Euclidean, Elliptic or Hyperbolic space. From the evident we have so far most agree it is not a Euclidean space. The only two spaces left to chose are Elliptic or Hyperbolic space.

 

Assume Elliptic Universe is true. What we should see and predict?

 

In Elliptic Universe, every light ray is a geodesic line. That mean the light ray will circle the geodesic circle forever unless block by some objects. That mean we are not only able to see the same star many times in one direction, also we can see the same star in opposite direction many times. More over, since the Universe had many billions years old, Universe collect so many billions years of lights. Every light is circling forever. What result of this will be the light all day and all night. Of cause, that is not the case, so the most possibility of the Universe is Hyperbolic Universe.

 

3. Is Universe's redshift cause by DOPPLER EFFECT or "LIOU'S STRETCH EFFECT"?

 

From Hubble's Law, the speed by which a galaxy moves away is proportional to the distance to the galaxy. A galaxy with distance of 6 bly has a velocity of 90,000 km/s. For a galaxy 30 bly away, its speed will be 450,000 km/s. This is beyond the speed of light. It is contradiction to the fact of the speed of light is constant.

In recent years, astronomers observed that Hubble's constant is not constant. The galaxies moving away actually accelerated. This coincides with the prediction from the chart of new Hubble's constant above.

 

From these two facts, the Universe's redshift is more likely to be caused by the "LIOU'S STRETCH EFFECT".

.

 

4.The accuracy of the cosmological constant k, not only depends on the accuracy of Hubble's Law; it also depends on the distance between galaxies. However, the distance between galaxies may have to be reconstructed.

 

For example, let us consider three galaxies A, B and C, with ; .

In Euclidean Universe, distance BC will be

 

-------------- (4)

 

 

In Hyperbolic Universe, distance BC will be, as follows

(from page 150 of non-Euclidean Geometry by Allen Liou, 1964.)

 

 

-------------- (5)

 

Comparing (4) and (5), we know (5) > (4). Obviously, the computations in Euclidean and Hyperbolic spaces are quite different.

 

 

F. CONCLUSION

 

In my opinion, "LIOU'S STRETCH EFFECT" in the Hyperbolic Universe with curvature is more reasonable than the DOPPLER EFFECT in the Euclidean Universe. If there is no expansion of the Universe, there is no Big Bang.

Before 1930, Einstein's view was that the Universe was static with a "cosmological constant". When Hubble introduced the idea that the Universe was expanding, Einstein dropped the idea of cosmological constant and called it "the greatest blunder of my life".

 

Perhaps Einstein should not have dropped the idea of a cosmological constant so quickly. If he believed that the Universe was in Hyperbolic space, then there is a space curvature which is the cosmological constant.

 

After 1930, Hubble showed that the Universe was expanding. Besides the Big Bang theory, there are a dozen versions of the inflationary theory. The concept is rather complicated and not very promising. In my opinion, the best inflationary theory is one with no inflation. The best concept should be simple, clear, easy to calculate, and accepted by most people.

 

I don't know how astronomers calculate the distance of galaxies. For accuracy, maybe we need to use Hyperbolic rules and formulas to calculate the distances between galaxies. Perhaps all the cosmological data should be calculated using Hyperbolic rules and formulas.
