Abstract:
We apply the new dynamics of 3-space to cosmology by deriving a Hubble
expansion solution. This dynamics involves two constants G and alpha -
the fine structure constant. This solution gives an excellent
parameter free fit to the recent supernova data without the need for
`dark energy' or `dark matter'. The data and theory together imply an
older age for the universe of some 18Gyrs. Various problems such as
fine tuning, the event horizon problem etc are now resolved. A brief
review discusses the origin of the 3-space dynamics and how that
dynamics explained the bore anomaly, spiral galaxy flat rotation
speeds, the masses of black holes in spherical galaxies, gravitational
light bending and lensing, all without invoking `dark matter' or `dark
energy'. These developments imply that a new understanding of the
universe is now available.

Sure Reg
Where's the error bars?
Are you going to explain why you continually promote Reg Cahill's work
on this newsgroup despite having a flimsy-at-best grasp of physics?
Reginald T Cahill doesn't even understand General Relativity. Give us
a break!
According to Cahill, fringe shifts have been observed in six
experiments that are consistent with absolute motion of the earth
through space.

Actually there are four independent measurements that give roughly
the same age for the universe.
o supernovae data (14.3 billion years)
o Sloan Digital Sky Survey (13.8 billion years)

Please think logically first before posting such nonsense. For
example,
The Hubble constant changes over time according to the type Ia
supernova data for ancient explosions dated back several billions of
years ago. Thus, your point #1 is contradicting with point #3
already.
The Hubble constant hasn't varied very much as is borne out in the
supernovae data. Look it up Koobee Wublee!
Do you expect an answer to a loaded question?
http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/itl/graphics/adhom/loaded.html
So why do you post [apparently in support of]Reg Cahill's work, when
he has been shown to be wrong again and again? That's a valid question.

In Fig. 5, Fig. 7 & Fig 8.
Does that mean you can't answer the question without shooting yourself
in the foot?
Really? The Hubble constant changes over time?
Do you have a literature reference for this latest contrarian
viewpoint?
The 4-D ( ever Euclidean, Minkowskian ) volume of the known Universe
accrues with cosmic time ( like interest on a checking account ),
" q = -1 " and " w = -1 ".
( q is the Deceleration Parameter, w is the Equation of State )
The large scale universe is neither Minkowski or Euclidean, fuckwit.
WMAP's 2006 data, the best data to date,
says the known Universe has always been flat, Euclidean,
with ( at cosmic scales ) no center of gravity anywhere.
That's a Minkowskian spacetime, 4-D flat,
in the rest frame of the C.M.B., at every point in cosmic time.
The 4-D volume accrues ( like interest on a checking account )
over cosmic time ( i.e. the fifth spatial dimension, entropy ).
No, stupid. That is not what WMAP data supports.

That's a good one, fucknozzle.
So far as I am aware he has not been shown to be wrong.
Eg. Back in December, Dawkins and Luiten from the University of
Western Australia wrote about an experiment they intended to do:
"We note also that this experiment provides a rigorous test of the
controversial claims of Cahill [5]. At this time we have constructed
the experimental apparatus and will soon take long-term data to search
for such effects. Our results will be reported at the time of the
congress." (Australian Institute of Physics 17th Congress in Brisbane,
Australia, in December 2006)
http://www.aipc2006.com/abstract/470.htm
But when they appeared at the congress, they reported that beat
frequency shifts, the analogue of fringe shifts, were detected as the
earth rotated, which seemed to support Cahill's claims rather than
refute them.
Following a discussion of Tom Roberts paper:
An Explanation of Dayton Miller's Anomalous "Ether Drift" Result
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0608238
Tom Roberts wrote:
===========================
For Miller's data using my new analysis, the errorbars are large
enough to include the predictions of ALL of the following theories:
1) SR
2) Miller's model, with any direction and speed up to 6 km/s
(90% confidence)
3) Cahill's theory, with any direction and speed up to at least
1,000 km/s (perhaps too small)
The other experiments that I have looked at (e.g. the MMX) are
similar, and in particular do NOT exclude SR.
========================
That implies that neither Cahill nor SR have been proven wrong yet.
Concerning the Gravity Probe B geodetic result, Cahill's theory of
gravity made the same predictions as GR, so both were confirmed.
For frame dragging, Cahill predicted different results to GR, but we
are still waiting for that result.
So I believe his theories are still in the running.
It is also good I think for people to know of the existence of a
gravity theory that can account for spiral galaxy rotation curves and
Hubble expansion without the need for dark matter or dark energy.
-- Surfer
Sure he has been proven wrong, in this forum, several times. It was
explained to you that Cahill has no clue in calculating the
relativistic speed of light in a moving medium. He bases his paper on
some elementary calculation errors. Combined with the huge error bars
on the Dayton Miller experiment you get the explanation of Cahill's
"predictions".
Now combine the above with the fact that Cahill publishes his works
only in fringe journals.....

They are Cahill's theories, but I look at arxiv regularly so usually
spot when he posts a new paper.
There is a recent find on Dark Matter here:
Hubble Finds Ghostly Ring of Dark Matter 05.15.07
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/news/dark_matter_ring_feature.html
"Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a first-hand view
of how dark matter behaves during a titanic collision between two
galaxy clusters. The wreck created a ripple of dark matter, which is
somewhat similar to a ripple formed in a pond when a rock hits the
water.
The ring's discovery is among the strongest evidence yet that dark
matter exists. Astronomers have long suspected the existence of the
invisible substance as the source of additional gravity that holds
together galaxy clusters. Such clusters would fly apart if they relied
only on the gravity from their visible stars. Although astronomers
don't know what dark matter is made of, they hypothesize that it is a
type of elementary particle that pervades the universe."
====
There is an explanation based on GR here.
Discovery of a Ringlike Dark Matter Structure in the Core of the
Galaxy Cluster Cl 0024+17
http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.2171
(Submitted on 15 May 2007)
"We present a comprehensive mass reconstruction of the rich galaxy
cluster Cl 0024+17 at z~0.4 from ACS data, unifying both strong and
weak-lensing constraints. The weak-lensing signal from a dense
distribution of background galaxies (~120 per square arcmin) across
the cluster enables the derivation of a high-resolution parameter-free
mass map...."
There is an alternative explanation by Cahill here.
Dynamical 3-Space: Alternative Explanation of the `Dark Matter Ring'
http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.2846
(Submitted on 20 May 2007)
"NASA has claimed the discovery of a `Ring of Dark Matter' in the
galaxy cluster CL 0024+17, see Jee M.J. et al. arXiv:0705.2171, based
upon gravitational lensing data. Here we show that the lensing can be
given an alternative explanation that does not involve `dark matter'.
This explanation comes from the new dynamics of 3-space. This dynamics
involves two constant G and alpha - the fine structure constant. This
dynamics has explained the bore hole anomaly, spiral galaxy flat
rotation speeds, the masses of black holes in spherical galaxies,
gravitational light bending and lensing, all without invoking `dark
matter', and also the supernova redshift data without the need for
`dark energy'.
I don't know which explanation will ultimately turn out to be true but
I find them both interesting.
If GR is correct, we have an interesting new form of matter--perhaps a
new type of elementary particle.
If Cahill's theory is correct we have an interesting new theory.

You just asked:

By way of answer I provided three links:

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/news/dark_matter_ring_feature.html
Discovery of a Ringlike Dark Matter Structure in the Core of the

So yes indeed, Cahill's theories can account for dark matter in weak
lensing results.

Of course it is in disagreement with SR. This is easy to prove, if you
assume anisotropy , you don't get the standard Lorentz transforms.
Reciprocally, if you assume transforms different from Lorentz, you
obtain anisotropical light speed.

I think its a matter of degree. The anisotropy in the measured speed
of light is very slight. Furthermore we are talking about the measured
speed of light in media, not in vacuum. It seems to me its sufficient
to allow Cahill to draw interesting conclusions, but not sufficient to
make SR less useful.

Yes, I know. This is why I pointed out that Cahill doesn't know how to
use some elementary formulas of speed addition. Thus, I can dismiss

The only reason he can 'detect' anything in media is because of

The HELL he has!
Cahill has _NO_ understanding of the "standard methods". He is
completely ignorant of all aspects of error analysis, and is mystified
at the concept of temperature control. He also needs, in the words of
Tom Roberts, a "special plead" for 'observing' anisotropies in light
speed due to ether via a medium. Amusingly enough, his 'observed'
speeds w.r.t the ether are in the km/s range, despite many other
experiments put the bar several orders of magnitude lower.

I expect Cahill is fully aware of the formulas for speed addition.
But if you have formulas that can't account for certain anomalies,
then you have two choices.
1) Assume the formulas are perfect and ignore the anomalies, or,
2) Tweak the formulas and see if the tweaked versions can account for
the anomalies in a consistent way. If that proves the case then the
tweaking is justified.
I think Cahill's analysis of the MMX can be compared to policy 2).

Or 3) Do proper error analysis and notice there isn't any actual
signal.

The MMX is irrelevant. Subsequent experiments over the near CENTURY
AND A HALF since it was first performed have continued to show a lack
of ether.
Cahill's analyses are junk. Give it a rest - folks here know you are
either Cahill himself or one of his close associates. Also, you are
hardly fit to judge given how often you need your statements

No, he's not. It was pointed out many times in this forum. He doesn't

cahill starts with a wrong formalism and compiunds the problem by not
taking into consideration the error bars of the experiments he
allegedly "analyses". Two fatal errors. Give it a rest .....
They did that by IGNORING the errorbars that are inherent when averaging
data. Those errorbars greatly exceed the "signal" they claim. See
Appendix I of http://www.arxiv.org/abs/physics/0608238 .
> But Cahill can claim eight
> non-vacuum experiments as showing absolute motion.
He, too, ignores the errorbars. See the above paper for a discussion of
Miller's results, on which his entire house of cards is built. The
errorbars shown for Miller's published results are unassailable, and
show there is no significant signal in Miller's results. This also
applies to many of the other experiments he quotes, INCLUDING HIS OWN,
and Cahill's claimed "experimental confirmation" falls.

Sure it can: when data are over-averaged one can find whatever one is
looking for in the data, just as children can find faces in clouds [#].
Finding them does NOT show they are significant, one needs an error
analysis to do that, and Cahill simply does not have a clue. Ditto for
Consoli and Costanzo, and Allais, and Munera, and all the other members
of the "there is a real signal here" cult.
[#] Mathematically, when one averages data one WILL obtain an
answer; whether or not it is significant is the question, and
that requires a detailed error analysis, which NONE of these
authors bother to do; I did.
Tom Roberts
Nevertheless its interesting that when analysed with Cahill's formula,
similar answers were obtained from a number of gas mode MM experiments
that used different gases. That suggests (though it doesn't prove)
that in spite of the errors a real signal is present.
Another point that can be made is that absence of evidence is not
evidence of absence.

Then the real signal should survive error analysis. But it doesn't -
what does that tell you?

There is a unicorn behind me, always. I know it is there, though I
haven't seen it no matter how fast I turn around. I asked some of my
friends, and they can't see it either. But I know it is there -
This is patently untrue. For two reasons:
1. First and foremost, Cahill's "formula" is incorrect. This was
explained to you but you choose to ignore it, a clear sign of autism.
2. The main experiments in a refractive medium (the ones ran by
Trimmer and, separately, by Shamir [1],[2]) CANNOT be explained by
Cahil's "formula". Actually the mentioned experiments CONTRADICT
Cahill's "formula" (and "theory")
I do not expect you to ever get the above, it is posted for the
benefit of the people that know and understand physics.

(1974).
Children can find faces in clouds. That is not science. <shrug>
And Cahill simply IGNORES data that disagrees with this theory, by
stating without justification that for some magic reason only gases can
"see" this marvelous phenomenon. It is clear that EVERY ONE of the gas
experiments he quotes [#] has serious systematic errors, and the
analysis used projects that systematic error into the same frequency bin
as any signal would be in, and Cahill triumphantly calls it "a signal",
even when it is statistically insignificant. The similar experiments in
solids and in vacuum do not have such large systematic errors, because
they are predominantly related to the gas.
That is not science. <shrug>
[#] Plus his own experiment using coaxial cable.

This, too, is not science. <shrug>
Probably the biggest indictment of Cahill and his theory is that he
refuses to discuss it with competent physicists, privately or publicly.
THAT MOST DEFINITELY IS NOT SCIENCE.

If a real signal is present, error analysis may tell us that the
signal is not significant, but that in itself does not destroy the
signal.

It may be incorrect relative to standard SR/LR theory.
However, Cahill is developing new theories, so I think he is entitled
to do things differently if that better suits his needs.

Cahill investigated the Shamir and Fox[1] results as shown below.
(I am not sure about the Trimmer[2] results)
Absolute Motion and Gravitational Effects
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/physics/0306196
Page 32
"The gas-mode Michelson interferometer has its sensitivity to absolute
motion effects greatly reduced by the refractive index effect, namely
the k^2 = n^2 - 1 factor in (81), and for gases with n only slightly
greater than one this factor has caused much confusion over the last
115 years. So it would be expected that passing the light beams
through a transparent solid with n ~ 1.5 rather than through a gas
would greatly increase the sensitivity. Such an Michelson
interferometer experiment was performed by Shamir and
Fox [85] in Haifa in 1969. This interferometer used light from a He-Ne
laser and used perspex rods with L = 0:26m. The experiment was
interpreted in terms of the supposed Fresnel drag effect, which has a
drag coefficient given by b = 1-1/n^2 . The light passing through the
solid was supposed to be `dragged' along in the direction of motion of
the solid with a velocity Delta V = bv additional to the usual c/n
speed. As well the Michelson geometrical path difference and the
Lorentz contraction effects were incorporated into the analysis. The
outcome was that no fringe shifts were seen on rotation of the
interferometer, and Shamir and Fox concluded that this negative result
"enhances the experimental basis of special relativity".
The Shamir-Fox experiment was unknown to us at Flinders university
when in 2002 several meters of optical fibre were used in a Michelson
interferometer experiment which also used a He-Ne laser light source.
Again because of the n^2-1 factor, and even ignoring the Fresnel drag
effect, one would have expected large fringe shifts on rotation
of the interferometer, but none were observed. As well in a repeat of
the experiment single-mode optical fibres were also used and again
with no rotation effect seen. So this experiment is consistent with
the Shamir-Fox experiment. Re-doing the analysis by including the
supposed Fresnel drag effect, as Shamir and Fox did, makes no material
difference to the expected outcome. In combination with the non-null
results from the gas-mode interferometer experiments along with the
non-interferometer experiment of DeWitte it is clear that transparent
solids behave differently to a gas when undergoing absolute motion
through the quantum foam. Indeed this in itself is a discovery of a
new phenomena.
The most likely explanation is that the physical Fitzgerald-Lorentz
contraction effect has a anisotropic effect on the refractive index of
the transparent solid, and this is such as to cause a cancellation of
any differences in travel time between the two arms on rotation
of the interferometer. In this sense a transparent solid medium shares
this outcome with the vacuum itself."

No, my dear cheater. Cahill USES SR in order to write his formalism.
You are VERY familiar with "his" papers, so you should know. Problem
is, Cahill uses SR INCORRECTLY.

Yes, this is the part where Cahill applies SR incorrectly. What is the
point of repeating your errors? Just to demonstrate how lame you are?

But there is no "real signal" , this is what was shown to you, the
"signal" in the experiments "analyzed" by Cahill "lives" within the
limits that characterize NOISE.
Are you THAT dishonest, THAT dumb or both?

Why would gas behave differently from solids and from vacuum? After
all, it is just another medium. Cahill is demonstrating how lame he
can get.
In contrast you never refuse to discuss the connection between the
variability of the speed of light:
Pentcho Valev asked on sci.physics.relativity: CAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
EXCEED 300000 km/s IN A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD? Tom Roberts answered:
"Sure, depending on the physical conditions of the measurement. It can
also be less than "300000 km/s" (by which I assume you really mean the
standard value for c). And this can happen even for an accelerated
observer in a region without any significant gravitation (e.g. in
Minkowski spacetime)." Tom Roberts tjro...@lucent.com
and Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) describing this
variability. Unlike Cahill, you are DEFINITELY A SCIENTIST, the Albert
Einstein of our generation (Hawking is no longer etc.).
Pentcho Valev
[...]
Go away, you irritating little man.
Error analysis doesn't make a signal go away, it merely tells us that
the signal can't be trusted.
But if a number of results derived from such signals turn out to be
very similar, then something interesting might be going on.

I don't know but here is a tentative theory.
The properties of vacuum seem related to ZPE.
Because individual atoms in a solid are in fixed locations, some kind
of resonance may develop between the solid and the ZPE so that the
solid mimics some vacuum properties.
In constrast, the chaotic motion of individual gas molecules might not
allow such resonance. That might cause the difference.
