Mass Boom Versus Big Bang: The Role of Planck's Constant

Abstract

The Big Bang frame of work for cosmology is a theoretical construct based upon one possible interpretation of the Hubble observation of the red shift from distant galaxies. Almost all of the scientific experimental evidence has been interpreted under the Big-Bang hypothesis. And the results have been very promising though with a few important drawbacks. The main point in our present work is to prove that the expansion of the Universe, the essence of the Big-Bang, is based upon an apparent interpretation of the distance-red shift relation found by Hubble. On the contrary, an absolute interpretation as we give here results in a constant size Universe, together with a shrinking quantum world. This is the role of Planck's constant: the red shift-distance relation can be interpreted as evidence of an expanding Universe or, alternatively, as evidence as evidence of a shrinking quantum world due to the decrease of Planck's constant with cosmological time.
