Author Description

The current consensus Standard Model of Cosmology, by interpreting the redshift of distant galaxies as being due to motion alone (the Doppler effect) very counterintuitively states that all but the 100 closest galaxies are flying away from the earth at a rate corresponding to their distance from the earth to the extent that the current model posits that galaxies beyond the Hubble Sphere are fleeing us at a rate greater than the speed of light. In order to make that prediction make sense, the current Standard Model has invented all but magical concepts, including Dark Matter, Dark Energy, the Big Bang and others. Unfortunately for the current Standard Model observations have been becoming increasingly contradictory to the point that since 2014 the Standard Model has been afflicted with a "cosmological crisis." The "cosmological crisis" might have been avoided had the physics community been aware the findings of John William Blake's paper, "The Particle Photon," introduced to the Tesla Society shortly before John died tragically in a climbing accident in Horsetooth Mountain Park near Fort Collins, Colorado that same year. Using observations from pulsars John calculated that the idea that the speed of light was an absolute and never wavering constant "c" and that the given speed of light was, in fact, a maximum speed which light never quite reaches. In the intervening years "dissident" physicists such as Alexander Unzicker have proposed the very similar idea of a variable speed of light to explain the redshift.
