Talk by David Youll
In 1929, Edwin Hubble established a correlation between galactic redshift and distance. For nearly a century, the prevailing scientific consensus has attributed this redshift to cosmic expansion, forming the foundation of the Big Bang theory. However, recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have introduced observations that challenge standard cosmological models. This presentation reviews the historical dominance of the Big Bang theory, examines the anomalies identified by the JWST, and explores whether a "Tired Light" model offers a more accurate framework for these new findings.
After a long career in IT, David now spends his spare time doing research to broaden his interest in galaxies and quasars (he has a PhD in Astronomy from Imperial College). David hopes this presentation will show you major weaknesses in the Big Bang theory and that other theories about the origin of our universe may be more appropriate.
