4. Comparison of the CTH with the actual state of knowledge
For the majority of the
established
scientists, those results of the CTH assembled in Fig. 3 are at least
provoking,
if not even unacceptable. If we, however, look around in the literature
of the past decades, we find that, surprisingly, some of the cognitions
presented here are not so new at all. There is quite a number of
interesting
observations and theoretical deliberations, the results of which
coincide
with the CTH. The essential difference only is, the CTH presents a
theoretical
model which is consistent within itself, whereas those results which
can
sporadically be found in the literature mostly are limited to single
phenomena.
Mainly the fact, the CTH can
provide surprising solutions for such fundamental problems in physics
as
the mystery of the cosmological constant and the unification of the
natural
forces, for which the established physics have not even a vision of
scientifically
founded solutions, should be reason enough to study it more carefully.
In the following, the single results
of the CTH are discussed and compared with the actual state of
knowledge.
4.1 The
universe
expands at the speed of light
= c ~ t -1/3, ® R
~ t 2/3 (4)
This statement surely is the most
provoking of the CTH. But just this supplies the key opening the door
to
a new time term – the cosmic time [9]. Regarding it unreflected,
relation
(4) infers with the Einstein axiom, the speed of light is a universal
natural
constant. But in order to judge the meaning of this axiom, we first
must
clarify the term „natural constant“. By this, we mean a physical value
that only can be defined empirically, i. e. by measurement, and
not by means of a theory.
By choosing a suitable time
parameter,
the light speed formulated in (4) can be brought into accordance with
this
definition or, as Einstein expressed [10], p. 30:
“One can, for the completion
of the time definition, use the principle of the constancy of the
vacuum
light speed.”
