Dynamical 3-Space Predicts Hotter Early Universe: Resolves CMB-BBN Li7 and He4 Abundance Anomalies

Abstract

The observed abundances of Li7 and He4 are significantly inconsistent with the predictions from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) when using the LCDM cosmological model together with the value for Omega_Bh^2 = 0.0224 +/- 0.0009 from WMAP CMB fluctuations, with the value from BBN required to fit observed abundances being 0.009<Omega_Bh^2<0.013. The dynamical 3-space theory is shown to predict a 20% hotter universe in the radiation-dominated epoch, which then results in a remarkable parameter-free agreement between the BBN and the WMAP value for Omega_Bh^2. The dynamical 3-space also gives a parameter-free fit to the supernova redshift data, and predicts that the LCDM model would require Omega_L=0.73 and Omega_M=0.27 to fit the 3-space dynamics Hubble expansion, and independently of the supernova data. These results amount to the discovery of new physics for the early universe that is matched by numerous other successful observational and experimental tests.
