I would like to share with you an alternative cosmology with no stretching of space at all. Also no dark matter, no dark energy. It explains galactic rotation rates and galaxies accelerating away from us --- both without dark matter and also without dark energy. It is a modified gravity proposal.

This theory also provides a physical mechanism for time dilation and increase of momentum at relativistic velocities by modifying general relativity. I would be curious what you think of it:

In my opinion, the big bang model, along with all of GR - LCDM is broken and can not be fixed.

Please take a look at the modified gravity proposal that I have put forward. This idea incorporates a mechanism that would explain why gravity might slightly deviate from Newtonian and/or GR in some circumstances.

This paper also adapts GR in such a way that it is consistent with galactic rotation rates, the anisotropies of the CMB, and cosmological expansion -- while showing that the simple operation of gravity is the cause of each of these phenomena.

This idea, Cyclic Gravity and Cosmology (CGC) predicts that there are discrete specific sizes allowable for macro-objects. The instability of Bennu and the fact that it behaves more like loosely held scree rather than a compact mass -- is an example of a mass that is not exactly at one of the discrete allowable sizes. Please also refer to the link I included wherein I uploaded a video simulation of the formation of a solar system using this type of force law. (This is in section 18 of the paper)

I would greatly appreciate any comments on this idea. A copy may be downloaded here:

In my opinion, there is a reason it has dug up nothing. Please take a look at this modified gravity proposal. It explains galactic rotation rates and also cosmological expansion without the need for dark matter or dark energy. It also adapts general relativity:

I've proposed a modified gravity theory that you might be interested in taking a look at. If correct, it would answer a lot of these questions. You may look at a pdf of it here:

I posit this hypothesis that does away with both dark matter and also dark energy. I posit that at a distance of approximately 1.5 million light-years gravity becomes slightly repulsive, gradually increasing with distance to achieve a peak repulsion, and then decreasing with distance to zero.

Thus, cosmological expansion is caused by galaxies pushing against each other, and galactic rotation can be explained by the fact that each galaxy is surrounded by a "womb" of dust, gas, and other galaxies, and this "womb" pushes with repulsive gravity upon the outer stars of a galaxy to keep them in orbit at a higher speed than expected.

I give a cosmological / mathematical justification for this behavior in my Reddit article:

At the bottom, in the responses, I explain how General Relativity can be adjusted so as to retain time dilation while rejecting curved space and retaining flat, 3D, Euclidean space.
