A Simple Cosmological Model with Decreasing Light Speed

Gimenez, Juan Casado

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

An alternative model describing the dynamics of a flat Universe without cosmological constant and allowing a gradual change of c with time is proposed. New relationships of redshift vs. distance and cosmic background radiation temperature are given. Values for the Universal radius, matter density, Hubble parameter, light deceleration, cosmic age and recombination time are obtained. Distant SNeIa faintness is explained within this decelerating, matter-dominated Universe without invoking dark energy. Horizon, flatness and other problems of standard Big Bang cosmology are solved without the need of inflation. The top speed of any signal, force, particle or wave at any time is limited by the expansion speed of the Universe itself.
