Missing imaginary expansion.

Large Scale Structure of the Universe

This by Cecilia Chirenti (NASA GSFC, UMCP, CRESST II):

“Explanation: This is a map of the universe. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona, has finished its five-year survey. It observed more than 47 million galaxies and quasars and created a 3D map centered on the Earth. Today's featured image shows a thin slice of these data: the black gaps indicate where our Galaxy obscures distant objects. The feathery web in the inset shows the large scale structure of the universe. Light of the most distant galaxies shown here travelled for 11 billion years to reach the Earth. Galaxies cluster throughout cosmic history under the competing influences of gravity and dark energy, responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Analysis of early DESI results hinted at the possibility that dark energy, described as a cosmological constant by Albert Einstein, may not be constant after all. But we still have to wait for the analysis of the now complete dataset. The nature of dark energy is the biggest mystery of cosmology.”

[GB: This is a nice rendition of NASA’s regressive opinion of what this study means. Note there is no evident expansion, which is a trope based on an erroneous interpretation of the cosmological redshift. Also, the “Dark Energy” supposedly responsible for the imagined expansion does not exist. Energy is a calculation. Equations for it must always include a term for matter, m, as in E=mc²or (1/2)mv².

Dark energy in this context is matterless motion, which is impossible. That belief is based on the Fourth Assumption of Religion, separability (Motion can occur without matter and matter can exist without motion). The correct fundamental assumption is the Fourth Assumption of Science, inseparability (Just as there is no motion without matter, so there is no matter without motion).

Note also that the 47 million galaxies shown here are less than 1% of those estimated in other studies. Still think the universe is finite?]

Has anything changed since 1600?

Gemini AI:

“The Catholic Church has not issued a formal apology for the execution of Giordano Bruno in 1600, although Vatican officials have expressed regret over his brutal death. The Church still regards Bruno as a heretic whose views were incompatible with Catholic doctrine, separating his case from that of Galileo.” (Wikipedia).
