Astronomers admit they were wrong !!

The following article is titled: "Top Astronomers Gather to Confront Possibility They Were Very Wrong About the Universe."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/top-astronom ... 05446.html

The article states:

"A number of high-profile astronomers are set to convene at London's Royal Society to question some of the most fundamental aspects of our understanding of the universe."

and this:

"We have great data, but the theoretical basis is past its sell-by date," he added. "More and more people are saying the same thing and these are respected astronomers."

It also states:

""We are, in cosmology, using a model that was first formulated in 1922," coorganizer and Oxford cosmologist Subir Sarkar told the newspaper"

The big question is whether they will replace the current and failed "standard model" with another incorrect model. Maybe they should replace it with the Electric Universe model?

Try reading the article, these people don't change, except with great pain.

When Halton Arp presented evidence that the accepted red shift theory had serious problems he was told
that his anomalous data existed, but they had a theory of everything (std model) and he didn't; so they were sticking with
the standard model. The outcome from the Royal Society convention will be interesting.

One statement in the article is particularly noteworthy.

The team found that one hemisphere actually hosted slightly more of these quasars, suggesting one area of the night sky was more massive than the other, undermining our conception of dark energy, a hypothetical form of energy used to explain why the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate.

That one spells big trouble for the mainstream and is not easily explained away by inventing a new gnomish particle or force.

Arcmode states "Try reading the article, these people don't change, except with great pain."

I agree that the mainstream consensus will not change without great pain. There are too many organizations and "scientists" that have become accustomed to the easy money that accompanies mathematical magic tricks and reinventing/relabeling basic electromagnetic theory.
