Big bang continued

Extragalactic universe: an alternative view
(Nature Publishing Group, 1990-08-30) Narlikar, J. V.; Arp, H. C.; Burbidge, G.; et al.
We discuss evidence to show that the generally accepted view of the Big Bang model for the origin of the Universe is unsatisfactory. We suggest an alternative model that satisfies the constraints better.
Flat spacetime cosmology : A unified framework for extragalactic redshifts
(American Astronomical Society, 1993-03-01) Narlikar, J. V.; Arp, H. C.
It is known that the standard Friedmann cosmology with k = 0 can be described equivalently in a conformal frame in which the spacetime is Minkowskian but all particle masses uniformly scale with epoch. In a Machian theory of gravity this spacetime dependence of mass is understood in terms of inertial interactions. This picture is shown to be more versatile than standard cosmology because it allows one to interpret objects of anomalously high redshift to be 'young' objects whose particle masses are lagging behind the universal mass function. We discuss here a variety of extragalactic phenomena within the framework of this model and show that these can be understood without recourse to adjustable parameters such as evolution, cosmological constant, etc.

High energy radiation from the center of the local super cluster
(Elsevier Science Publishers, 1996-09-09) Arp, H. C.; Narlikar, J. V.; Radecke, H. D.
Evidence in X-rays, gamma rays and ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHCR) suggests the existence of active centers in extragalactic space which eject high energy particles and quanta. A concentration of these highest energy sources in the direction of the Local Supercluster indicates that the brightest apparent magnitude AGN’s such as 3C274 (M87), 3C273, 3C279 and Markarian 421 are the only candidate sources for this radiation. A theoretical model of mass creation in the Local Supercluster based on a Machian theory of gravitation is described as a possible mechanism for production of the high energy while at the same time allowing the AGN’s to be at the relatively close distance of the Supercluster. The fact that infrared photons fill intergalactic space limits the distance to the UHCR sources at a little over twice the distance to the center of the Local Supercluster strongly localizing the highest energy radiation to this relatively close distance.
Time dilation in the supernova light curve and the variable mass hypothesis
(American Astronomical Society, 1997-06-20) Narlikar, J. V.; Arp, H. C.
The recently reported time dilation effect in Type Ia supernova SN 1995K has been claimed to rule out the static universe model of Narlikar & Arp. It is shown here that the variable mass hypothesis which accounts for the redshift phenomenon in the above static universe model does indeed predict the observed effect and that there is no conflict between the data of Leibundgut et al. and the predictions of this model.
