The quasi-steady-state cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper outlines an alternative cosmology called the quasi-steady-state cosmology (QSSC) which was proposed in 1993 as a rival to the standard big bang cosmology (SBBC). The motivation for an alternative cosmology is introduced by first discussing some of the weak points of the SBBC. The theoretical framework and observational tests of the QSSC are next described. Finally some tests which can distinguish between the SBBC and the QSSC are briefly mentioned. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Comments on the Quasi-Steady-State Cosmology
The Quasi-Steady-State Cosmology as proposed by Hoyle, Burbidge and Narlikar does not fit the observed facts of the Universe. In particular, it predicts that 75-90% of the radio sources in the brightest sample that shows steeper than Euclidean source counts should be blueshifted.
متن کاملAn Alternative Cosmology
Recent discussions of observational constraints on the standard hot big bang model are reviewed and it is argued that now there is room for considering alternative cosmologies. The quasi-steady state cosmology is brieey described. This model seems to explain most of the observed features of the universe, including the m-z relation, radio source count, the light nuclear abundances and the microw...
متن کاملThe quasi-steady state cosmology: Theory and observations
Abstract. This is a review of an alternative cosmology, recently proposed by Fred Hoyle, Geoffrey Burbidge and this author. It begins with a brief discussion of why one needs an alternative cosmology, when the standard hot big bang cosmology is claimed to be doing well. It is argued that the observational and theoretical constraints on the standard big bang cosmology, from various directions, l...
متن کاملCreation of Matter and Anomalous Redshifts
This presentation discusses the role of creation of matter in cosmology. While the phenomenon is considered a singular event in the big bang model, a more physical description is given in the quasi-steady state cosmology. Some highlights of this model are presented. Finally, the observations of anomalous redshifts are briefly described and viewed as a consequence of newly created matter ejected...
متن کاملModeling Repulsive Gravity with Creation
There is a growing interest in the cosmologists for theories with negative energy scalar fields and creation, in order to model a repulsive gravity. The classical steady state cosmology proposed by Bondi, Gold and Hoyle in 1948, was the first such theory which used a negative kinetic energy creation field to invoke creation of matter. We emphasize that creation plays very crucial role in cosmol...
