Plasma-Redshift Cosmology

Plasma-Redshift Cosmology is an outgrowth of Quantum Mechanics and is an orthodox interpretation of Plasma Cosmology derived from radiological experiments relating to the interaction between light and the electrons of high energy plasma on Earth and in space.
It is derived from the works of Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi and primarily developed by Ari Brynjolfsson. The plasma-redshift is in reference to the experimentally verified plasma-redshift cross section that occurs when photons penetrate a hot and sparse plasma. In Astronomy, this effect has been reported by Peter Hanson in the broad line emission region of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasi-stellar objects (QSO).
Though very few are familiar with Plasma-Redshift Cosmology, it has been regarded by Dr. Hilton Ratcliffe as "a winner" and other notable science writers have expanded on the theory, proposed by Dr. Ari Brynjolfsson, and it has been observed by Dr. Martin Lopez-Corredoira to provide a description of the Universe where:
::”there is no expansion, the Universe is static, and that the redshift of the galaxies would be explained by some kind of tired light effect of the interaction of photons with electrons in the plasma.”
Though Dr. Lopez-Corredoira uses the word static, it is also described as quasi-static, indicating that some variation is possible.. A static universe commonly refers to a model where it is assumed that the structures and objects in the universe are stationary, whereas quasi-static implies that despite minor variations the universe remains relatively unchanged.
History of Redshift Cosmology
Redshift Cosmology can be generally described as the use of astronomical observations of spectroscopic red shift to determine the properties of various bodies in the Universe. The red shift effect, is a displacement of the spectroscopic absorption and emission lines towards lower energy levels. In the early 20th century, initial attempts to explain this phenomenon were described by Dr. Fritz Zwicky in his 1929 paper on Tired Light. He summarized several possible explanations (ruling out all but a 'gravitational drag' based on multiple gravitational lensing) including:
# de Sitter universe
# The Compton-Doppler Effect on free electrons
# Gravitational redshift
# Gravitational Drag
The importance of this effect became apparent as a result of the observations of Dr. Edwin Hubble. Hubble observed that light from distant nebulae were red shifted and that for some objects this appeared to follow a distance relation. Redshift Astronomy rapidly advanced and various models were developed based on these observations. As observations became more refined, Hubble was prompted to abandon several red shift interpretations, such as those which implied an expanding universe. :
:::"Meanwhile, on the basis of the evidence now available, apparent discrepancies between theory and observation must be recognized. A choice is presented, as once before in the days of Copernicus, between a strangely small, finite universe and a sensibly infinite universe plus a new principle of nature." -Dr. Edwin Hubble
Hubble's concerns were later supported by astronomer Halton Arp, who reported that many galaxies and quasars were connected in his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies and possessed very different red shift values, a claim which some claim has subsequently been shown to be false and results from chance alignments of nearby and more distant sources.
A pivotal year came in 1973, when Ari Brynjolfsson received his Ph. D for his thesis Some Aspects of the Interactions of Fast Charged Particles with Matter which later led to the theory of plasma redshift in 1978. Ari Brynjolfsson had connected an exchange between Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi regarding the effect of the Dielectric constant;
::”In 1913 and 1915 Bohr derived the stopping power for fast charged particles penetrating matter. This worked well until about 1930 when it was discovered that for higher-energy fast particles, the stopping power was greater than that predicted by Bohr's equations. It also was observed that Cherenkov radiation was emitted. The physicists were puzzled. For a long time they could not understand what was going on. Then came Enrico Fermi with his 1939 and 1940 articles, which in essence said: Bohr! You forgot to take the dielectric constant properly into account. The Dielectric constant explains the increased stopping power and the Cherenkov radiation. Bohr immediately agreed...” . Plasma-Redshift Cosmology can be said to arise by extrapolating this laboratory produced effect into astrophysics.
Applying the work of Enrico Fermi and Niels Bohr, Ari was able to derive a formula showing the plasma redshift as a function of a plasma's Electron density.
Plasma Redshift as a function of electron density
Applying this rule to Hubble's work we arrive at Hubble's constant,
Where H0 is Hubble's constant and (Ne)avg is the average electron density. Such methods are also implemented in determining the average electron density of the CMB, CXB, and supernova.
