In late 1997 I reported (Mod. Phys. Lett. A 12 (1997)
2919; see report) the
discovery of A New Redshift Interpretation (NRI) of the
Hubble relation and the 2.7K CBR, which showed for the
first time that it was possible to explain these
phenomena within the framework of a universe governed by
Einstein's static-spacetime general relativity (GR)
instead of the Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding-spacetime
paradigm. More recently Carlip and Scranton (astro-ph/9808021;
C&S) claim to find flaws in this discovery, while
also claiming the standard cosmology is error free. Their
analysis assumes the NRI represents a static cosmological
model of the universe. This is wrong. My MPLA report
clearly states the NRI encompasses an expanding universe
wherein galaxies are undergoing Doppler recession due to
vacuum density repulsion. C&S's confusion on this
crucial point leads to serious errors in their analysis.
Next, in claiming the standard cosmology is error free,
C&S fail to respond to the contradictory evidence in
my preprint, see report.
There I first show why the universe is governed by
Einstein static-spacetime GR, and not the
Friedmann-Lemaitre expanding spacetime paradigm on which
Big Bang cosmology is critically hinged. Secondly, I note
a most embarrassing fact about the F-L paradigm--namely,
that it has always involved gargantuan
nonconservation-of-energy losses amounting to the mass
equivalent of about thirty million universes, each with a
mass of 10^21 suns.
