Meanwhile, the Dirac hypothesis has been disproved by measurements  [16], p. 539/540:
“Until today, we have no indications that the gravitation force weakens with time.
The Viking missions to Mars have shown that the gravitation force, if it varies in the course of time,  in the 15 billions of years old history of the universe can have changed by 1% at the most.
That is one hundredth of  the value predicted by Dirac.”
If, therefore, the „gravitation constant“ was the only value changing with time, the universe could by no means have developed the way we observe it today. It is as it is, since all other basic values of nature are dependent on time (t) as well.
We should mind especially, the weakening of the gravitation field due to a gravitation constant decreasing with time
(G ~ t - 2/3),  to be expected according to the CTH, is compensated by the continuous creation of new matter.
This should be considered when the data transmitted by the Viking missile are evaluated.
Possibly, there also could be established an interesting connection to the Mach principle, which states
 [23], p. 281:
„.... all gravity forces are defined by the total quantity of matter in the universe and are proportional to it.”
This statement is in accordance with the CTH  ( M ~ t 2/3, G ~ t - 2/3, G M = const.), provided we cling to the identity of  inertial and ponderable mass.
Remark:

One could argue against the relations  G ~ t - 2/3 and c ~ t - 1/3 that they have been deduced from a theory (GTR), in which c and G are constant, i. e. independent on time. This  objection can easily be cleared, as c and G do not appear as isolated values in the field equations of the GTR, but are linked to each other by the coupling constant k = 8p G/c2 = const. As, from Fig. 3, also follows G/c2 = const., there is no contradiction to the GTR.

4.5 Solution of the problems of the big bang theory

The big bang theory has some weaknesses which partly are tried to be solved by the „inflationary model”
