A Closed Non-Collapsing 3-D Universe Predicting A New Source of Gravity and Dark Mass

Abstract

Could one start from scratch, ignore relativity theory and quantum theory, create and expand our 3-D universe with no singularities, have the mathematical model predict correctly all of the cosmological parameters, provide the origins and understanding of time, energy, gravity and some of quantum behavior inside our 3-D universe and do all of that with just high school algebra and a little calculus? The answer is: Yes, it has been done and includes many falsifiable predictions. For the mathematical model, some new physical concepts are needed together with some older physical concepts such as the scaling of radiation and matter with the expansion and the idea that clumps of mass locally curve our 3-D space. Instead of assuming roll-up dimensional changes of space that occurred sometime in the past, here the major postulate is that such an ongoing dimensional change of space drives our universe yet today. The first paper, astro-ph/0102071, presented the predicted magnitudes of the new model for supernova Ia and the excellent fit with the astronomical measurements without the cosmological constant. This second paper will present more of the theory and other important predictions.
