Why a Stressed Universe is the Correct Model of Our Universe

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Originally most people simply imagined that the universe was a steady state system. Then Hubble discovered experimentally that it is expanding. The Big Bang has become the favoured explanation for this expansion. Dark matter seems to augment gravity to hold galaxies together. More recently, dark energy has been suggested as the driving force for the acceleration of the expansion. However, dark matter and dark energy remain elusive. A better model of the universe is needed to explain all the large-scale characteristics of the universe. That model is a Stressed Universe.
