Energy Conservation and Photon Redshifting - prevailing concept (1978): At the time of this prediction, physicists and astronomers generally assume that photon energy is perfectly conserved and most attribute the cosmological redshift to the assumed expansion of space.
1 The big bang theory proposes the counterintuitive notion that the universe emerged out of a state of nonexistence. Subquantum kinetics (SQK) avoids this problem. Proposes that physical form emerged from a preexisting ether substrate.
2 Fails to explain how subatomic particles originate. It merely postulates that they form out of the vacuum. SQK explains in detail how subatomic particles arise from subquantum fluctuations in the ether.
3 Fails to explain why our universe is made up of matter as opposed to antimatter. SQK predicts a matter/ antimatter bias to particle materialization.
4 Introduces the ad hoc assumption that the universe is expanding, in order to account for the cosmological redshift phenomenon. SQK naturally predicts a tired-light cosmological redshift effect without introducing any ad hoc assumptions.
5 The expanding universe model fails to make a good fit to astronomical data on four cosmology tests. The tired-light static universe cosmology makes a superior fit to astronomical data on all four cosmology tests.
6 Conventional cosmology fails to explain observations of galaxies with redshifts greater than 4.0. SQK accounts for the existence of galaxies having redshifts many times higher than 4.0.
7 Conventional physics fails to explain why the jovian planets and brown dwarfs fall along the M-L relation for low mass stars, attributes this to chance. SQK explains this conformance by predicting that planets, brown dwarfs, and low mass stars are similarly powered by genic energy.
8 Fails to explain the source of the excess heat coming from the Earth's core. SQK attributes the excess heat from the Earth's core to genic energy.
9 Fails to account for the inflection (at 0.45 solar masses) in the stellar luminosity function and for the accompanying upward bend in the stellar M-L relation. SQK explains this inflection and upward bend as arising from the onset of fusion energy production and the formation of a radiative core at the star's center.
10 Fails to adequately explain stellar pulsation. The SQK genic energy prediction explains this phenomenon.
11 Fails to explain the source of energy powering supernova explosions and why supernovae arise from blue giants. The SQK genic energy prediction explains this phenomenon.
12 Fails to account for the energy source powering galactic core explosions. The SQK genic energy prediction explains this phenomenon.
13 General relativity predicts that massive, highly luminous galactic cores should exist as matter-consuming black holes. But this prediction fails to conform with observation. SQK predicts that black holes should not form, that galactic cores should instead consist of very dense stellar bodies that continually create matter and energy. This predictionis supported by observation.
Note: genic energy is the name given to the excess energy that is produced by the photon blue-shifting phenomenon predicted by subquantum kinetics.

Prediction No. 3 (1978): As a basic requirement of the validity of its methodology, subquantum kinetics predicted that photons should gradually redshift with time when passing through regions of low (less negative) gravitational field potential, e.g. intergalactic space. It predicted a "tired-light effect," that distant galaxies should appear redshifted without the need of postulating recessional motion.
Verification (1979 - 1986): Dr. LaViolette checks this photon redshifting prediction by comparing the tired-light non-expanding universe model and the expanding universe model (standard Freidman cosmology) to observational data on four different cosmology tests. He demonstrates that the tired-light model consistently makes a closer fit to observational data on all tests. His findings, which were published in the Astrophysical Journal (1986), confirm the subquantum kinetics tired light prediction and the notion that the universe is cosmologically stationary. These findings undermine a key support of the big bang theory. An update of this evidence is presented in Chapter 7 of Subquantum Kinetics.
Energy Conservation and Energy Generation - prevailing concept (1978): At the time of this prediction, physicists and astronomers adhered to the idea that energy is perfectly conserved. Stars are assumed to generate their energy either through nuclear fusion or from heat released from gravitational accretion. Planets are instead thought to acquire their luminosity from stored heat. There is no reason to believe that planets should conform to the stellar mass-luminosity relation.
Prediction No. 4 (1978 - 1979): As a basic requirement of the validity of its methodology subquantum kinetics predicted that photons should gradually blueshift when passing through regions of high (more negative) gravitational field potential, e.g., within stars and planets and in interplanetary and interstellar space. It predicted that "genic energy" should be continuously created within all celestial bodies.
Verification (1979 - 1992): Dr. LaViolette tested this genic energy prediction by plotting the mass-luminosity coordinates of the jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus) to compare them with the mass-luminosity relation for red dwarf stars and found that both planets and stars conformed to the same relation. Other astronomers had not previously done this because doing so didn't make sense in the context of the conventional astrophysical paradigm. The required violation of energy conservation is 10 orders of magnitude smaller than what could be observed in laboratory experiments.
Verification (January 1995): Astronomers observing with the Hubble Space Telescope discovered that the star VB10 has a dynamic core, as indicated by the presence of explosive, magnetic-field-driven flares on its surface. VB10 has a mass of about 0.09 solar masses, which indicates that it borders between being a red dwarf and brown dwarf. Conventional theory predicts that this star should be on the border of being dead and hence should not have a strong magnetic field. Subquantum kinetics, which predicts that its interior should be dynamic and actively evolving genic energy, anticipates these results.
