Interpretations of the Accelerating Universe

Abstract: ABSTRACT. It is generally argued that present cosmological observations support the accelerating models of the universe, as driven by a cosmological constant or "dark energy." We argue here that an alternative model of the universe is possible, which explains the current observations of the universe. We demonstrate this with a reinterpretation of the magnitude-redshift relation for Type Ia supernovae, since this was the test that gave a spurt to the current trend in favor of the cosmological constant.

“…At any given cosmic time, 'Hubble length' can be considered as the gravitational or electromagnetic interaction range. If one is willing to think in this direction, by increasing the number of applications of Hubble mass and Hubble volume in other areas of fundamental physics like quantum physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics and particle physics [7]- [14] slowly and gradually -in a progressive way, concepts of 'Black hole Cosmology' can be strengthened and can also be confirmed [36]- [41], [95]- [103]. The most interesting thing is that, at any given cosmic time, if the universe is a primordial growing black hole, then certainly its 'Schwarzschild radius' can be considered as its characteristic minimum size at that time.…”

“…(b) In passing, it would also be worthwhile to bring to the notice of the reader another approach that also does not seem perfectly consistent with Equation (16). Some authors (for example, [8,12,13]) perform the SNeIa data-fitting by considering the χ 2 -statistic in the form…”
