Bye Bye Big Bang: Hello Reality

A lucid description of Big Bang Theory is first presented. Following that,the long list of older flaws in that theory are reviewed, and some newlydiscovered additions to those are presented. The combined impact of thoseflaws forever destroys the credibility of a Big Bang. But, more importantly,an alternative theory that is based on astronomical data, proven science andlogic is then presented.Common sense denies the possibility of the accretion of matter requiredfor the formation of new galaxies in a relativistically expanding Big Banguniverse. In fact, the possibility of any appreciable expansion is denied.Nevertheless, astronomical observations of recent years show that newgalaxies have been forming for many billions of years.Astronomical observations also show existing galaxies are spewing enormousamounts of matter and energy into intergalactic space, providing evidence oftheir gradual death. However, due to gravitational attraction, that matterand radiation, combined with the hydrogen that pervades all of space, resultsin the continuous formation of new galaxies in violent swirling clouds of”gas and dust.”Those intriguing features reveal an ancient, ever-recycling, non-expandinguniverse containing galaxies of various ages, shapes and sizes. This newrecycling universe cosmology (RUC), has been called a masterpiece ofresearch and synthesis.In addition to references to source material throughout, included hereinare several illustrations, appendixes that provide related backgroundmaterial and supporting mathematics, a comprehensive bibliography, and nameand subject indexes.This book succeeds Mitchell s 1995 book, The Cult of the Big Bang, thatwas published with endorsements by allies in the struggle against Big Bangtheory. Those allies included plasma physicist and cosmologist Anthony L.Peratt of the Los Alamos National Laboratories, astronomer and cosmologistHalton C. Arp of the Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, andProfessor Jayant V. Narlikar, director of the Inter-University Centre forAstronomy and Astrophysics of India.Despite its anti-establishment content, that book has been amazingsuccessful.About the William C. Mitchell was born in Connecticut, on December 28, 1925,attended elementary and high schools also in that state.As a teenager, he spent over 3 years In U. S. Navy as a radar technician.After receiving additional instruction at the Naval Research Labs on topsecret radar countermeasures equipment (the birth of what is now calledelectronic warfare) and taught that subject a for year at the Pacific FleetSchools in Hawaii.He graduated from the University of Connecticut, with a B. S. inEngineering in 1950, elected to honorary engineering societies Eta Kappa Nuand Tau Beta Pi. (By age 24 he had graduated from high school, spent over 3years in the Navy, graduated from college, was married, had an engineeringposition, and a son.)He worked as a radar design engineer at Bendix Radio Corporation inTowson, Maryland and at Gilfillan Brothers and Litton Industries in the LosAngeles area for about 10 years. Later was Chief Engineer of a small companyspecializing in digitally controlled industrial processing, that is,computerization of processes such as automatic gasoline blending atrefineries as early as 1960.The last 19 years of his full-time employment as Sub-Project Engineer, andlater as Project Engineer at TRW Systems in Redondo Beach, California wasprimarily on NASA scientific spacecraft programs. But he also worked (in1975) on such projects as the establishment of technical requirements for anew Pacific Fleet Commander In Chief headquarters (CINCPAC) in Hawaii, and(in 1979 to 1981) on the installation of the NASA Data Tracking and RelaySatellite System (TDRSS) ground station at White Sands, New Mexico.Following retirement from TRW (in 1981), he worked as a consultantengineer on several spacecraft programs, but also on such projects as thecomputerization of FBI Identification Division data information storage andretrieval in Washington, DC.Although never fulfilling requirements for an advanced degree, Mitchellcompleted a number of graduate courses in mathematics, science andengineering during his years of employment.He has in the past been an airplane pilot, with commercial license,instrument rating, and aerobatics training; and a Cessna aircraft owner.Other interests have included, music, swimming, boating, fishing and skiing.Of special interest has been family; including Holly, his wife of 53 years,son, daughter, and grandchildren.He became heavily involved in cosmology in the mid-1980s and, afterconsiderable study, became disenchanted with Big Bang Theory. Since then hehas worked full-time on cosmology, and wrote a number of papers on thattopic. In the early 1990s, he wrote The Cult of the Big Bang, and, for thepast 3 years, has devoted his efforts to the preparation of this book, ByeBye Big Bang – Hello Reality.
