The discordant quasar-galaxy pairs catalogued by Halton Arp — low-redshift galaxies apparently joined by luminous bridges, filaments, or foreground absorption to companions at redshifts one to two orders of magnitude larger — remain an unresolved anomaly of observational cosmolog...

The Hubble tension admits fundamentally different interpretations. In an expanding-space interpretation, it may arise from local kinematics such as a Gpc-scale underdensity. In the Temporal Equivalence Principle (TEP) framework, the premise is different: the spatial universe is s...

The Mount Wilson Paradigm: Restoring the Eternal Universe via the Temporal Equivalence Principle
Cosmological redshift is standardly interpreted as a geometric signature of spatial expansion. This interpretation requires a fundamental assumption that is defined herein as the Isochrony Axiom: the premise that, after gravitational and kinematic effects derived from the spaceti...
