According to the standard model of gravity, the ejected dust from the Wolf-Rayet star 140 should be a sort of warped spiral. Standard gravity can not explain why it is arranged in very discrete rings, nor why these rings have a squarish shape to them. CGC can explain all aspects of this. Included in today’s episode are instructions showing how anyone can run their own gravity simulations. One such simulation using a CGC-type force law produces objects that revolve around a central star in discrete square rings.

Forget "Population III" stars. Forget the big bang idea of modelling elemental abundances starting from the primordial soup just after "inflation." CGC presents a cosmology wherein elemental abundances stay approximately constant forever, with quasars and other "black holes" serving as centers of elemental recycling.

Structures that challenge GR-LCDM Cosmology. Large scale distribution of galaxies, the fine foamy structure of galaxies now seen by JWST, and a few other recent discoveries support the semi-static view of the universe depicted in CGC. An eternal universe.

I explain the experiment that will disprove General Relativity. Time is not a continuum in some sort of non-Euclidean geometry. I go on to critique the current state of modern Cosmology.

Standard theory considers the Bullet Cluster to be proof of the existence of dark matter. I explain the Bullet Cluster using Cyclic Gravity and Cosmology (CGC). Then I respond to several other criticisms. Lastly, I go over some experiments that might disprove CGC or disprove General Relativity.

CGC presents a different picture of black holes. This description of black holes also explains elemental abundances in a very different way compared to GR-LCDM cosmology

CGC posits that neutrinos inhibit quantum processes, and that they deflect light. This assumption accounts for time dilation at relativistic velocities and near strong sources of gravity, without the need to posit the deformation of space. CGC adapts General Relativity allowing a return to Euclidean space. There is no need for dark matter, no need for dark energy, and no need for the big bang.

I explain why we need to take an ad-hoc approach to gravity. It is not possible at this time to create a simple and elegent force law that applies to all contexts and all scales. I explain that cosmological expansion is actually the product of repulsive gravity. I also explain that the universe is forever gently alternating between periods of expansion and contraction. I look forward to the next episode wherein I will explain how CGC deals with the deflection of light, time dilation, and the increase of momentum at relativisitic velocities.

The asteroid Bennu, the behavior of Oumuamua, the braided rings of Saturn, the behavior of comets, the flyby and Pioneer anomalies, all supply evidence of CGC in our own solar system.

In CGC, gravity is depicted as a relic of the the electromagnetic force. This means that gravity can be repulsive at some scales, and able to explain comsological expansion without needing to posit the deformation of space. It also means that gravity can sometimes be weaker or stronger than expected in some contexts.
