      The logic of Eric Lerner’s criticism is rather solid. Any unbiased intelligent scientist would concur his points are strong and that the amount of fixes and epicycles needed to yet hang on to current cosmology orthodoxy are staggering. There are however two points were Eric criticism is not well formulated.
      First of all; he makes this into a ‘deal breaker’ of whether the universe is expanding and as a consequence whether the big bang would never have happened. That you cannot do. You can postulate that it is incorrect to attribute the observed redshift to higher speeds of furthest galaxies and thus its spacetime expansion in between. Agree. But that does NOT mean you know the actual status of our cosmos. It might yet be expanding (at a moderate rate) or contracting or being static. You just don’t know from the redshift itself which indeed would hint at distance only. Actually mainstream science should embrace this outcome. Why? Because it would mean we no longer have paradox of the missing 10^60 energy density to worry about for which we invented dark energy. And without dark energy, it would mean King Gravity is back in town again. Which would suggest the oscillating universe is back as most likely variant, and it is not very relevant in which phase we currently are (expanding or contracting) as the beginning and end are the same; a form of big bang.
      Which brings us to the second point of criticism of Eric Lerner; he places his own alternative (tired light) as the only red-shift alternative to the speed interpretation of mainstream. That makes his story appear quite biased as well. He should separate the two. Besides there is a more intelligent alternative as to why furthest galaxies would appear more redshifted, which has to with a known QP effect within the fabric of our galactic plane itself. But regardless. Mainstream should make good use of Lerner’s critique and recognise it does NOT mean the big bang never happened. It even makes a stronger case it did as dark energy is not needed.

    He’s saying that for a non-expanding universe, galaxy size is linearly proportional to distance, as the evidence shows.
    In the expanding universe theory, the galaxies should be much smaller in size (to the fourth power) and less bright than we actually observe.
    He’s correct and his papers have not been accepted because there are too many reputations and too much funding for Big Bang research on the line.

      I'm an astrophysicist by degree and I'd never hear about the "size" idea that he is so focused on.
      I believe he down-sampled measurements from literally millions of galaxies to a few hundred ... because they had the best signals.
      Stars are point sources due to their extreme distance from the solar system. I've always been surprised that galaxies don't become point sources, no matter how far away we look, but never bothered to check why. I have since looked at the equation that relates size to redshift and it's a LOT more complicated than what he presented.
      Even IF the lamda model isn't correct, the steady-state model is definitely wrong. The MOND idea has some appealing points, and I believe it doesn't require dark matter/energy, but it still isn't a steady-state model.

    We can use another “type” of reasoning that corresponds with Eric Lerner’s explanation. During the evolution of the universe we observe the emerging of more and more large scale structures (galaxies and clusters of galaxies). All these large scale structures are compositions of energy (E = m c^2). So where comes this surplus of concentrated energy from? It originates from the universal electric field. The universal electric field is one of the few basic quantum fields and all the basic quantum fields together tessellate the volume of the universe.
    The consequence of the concentration of energy into matter is that the average energy density in vacuum space will decrease during the evolution of the universe. Before the emergence of matter in the universe there was only vacuum space so the average energy density was much higher than at the moment. Therefore the JWST observes giant primordial black holes and very luminous (enfant) galaxies in the early universe.
    Light is a propagating frequency (local vibration) of the universal electric and corresponding magnetic field (QFT). The consequence is that light that is emitted in the early universe is slowly red shifted (decrease of frequency) because of the decrease of the average energy density of the universal electric field. That means that the measured red shift of the light of galaxies is directly related to the distance between the observer and the galaxy. But there is some blue and red shift related to the velocity the galaxy and its rotational speed too.

    It seems as though galactic spatial dispersion (separation) distances would also decrease over greater and greater distances? Meaning, when galaxies first formed in the early universe, they should also have been much closer in apparent proximity to one another. If the distances calculated between galaxies are similar to those within our current local spatial group, then something should be considered inaccurate with our estimated expansion rates at vast distances?

      It seems abundantly clear, from the River Model of General Relativity, that there IS an absolute (universal) time, and there IS absolute space. This means there is no so-called Twins Paradox, because there is no "missing time", This is because clocks are NOT time, and they do not measure time. Clocks measure oscillations, and these slow down (due to conservation of momentum) as all particles gain relativistic mass as velocity increases. It even causes biological processes to slow down, and hence there is only an apparent slowing down of time, but in fact it just keeps on flowing at the exact same rate, no matter where you are.

    The shift occurring to the wavelength of light measures motion relative to our motion. This is noted with stars in Andromeda. Half the stars produce an overall redshift in their light while the stars on the opposite side produce an overall blueshift in their light. Thus indicating the velocity and trajectory of the stars relative to our motion. Space is not stretching or expanding between us and Andromeda. The motion of the stars relative to us produces this effect. Their redshift indicates they are moving away from us. Their blueshift would indicate they were moving towards us. Space doesn't have to expand if the redshift is simply produced by their motion. The motion of galaxies extremely far away is not even a constant per megaparsec. Thus indicating one single action like dark energy cannot be responsible.
    A big bang didn't happen. There is evidence that indicates this, like the absolute motion of our solar system as it orbits the barycenter of our galaxy's mass. Our solar system is receding away from the supermassive black hole at about 900,000 mi/h. So when we take the age and trajectory of our solar system and in a thought experiment reverse time, in 4.5 billion years our solar system would have been birthed by the supermassive black hole, not from a big bang. In fact every star and satellite galaxies is moving rapidly away from the central core, not towards it. Astronomers refer to this as a high velocity dispersion of matter in galaxies.

Ergo, the stars on the side rotating towards us will be blueshifted. Those on the other side, moving away from us, will be redshifted. There is no blueshift at cosmological scales. It is all redshifted. Because space is expanding. Not only expanding, but doing so at an accelerating rate. As the evidence shows.
      _"In fact every star and satellite galaxies is moving rapidly away from the central core, not towards it. "_
      Wrong.

    Claiming censorship is not how to do science. That's the same strategy used by flat earthers or others with dubious claims.
    Produce a model that explains reality and all known phenomena better than the existing models and make some testable predictions.

      Lerner doesn't even understand the relevant physics. There is zero chance of him producing a viable model of anything. Anyone that thinks EM forces can explain stellar accelerations around galaxies is a couple of cans short of a six-pack.

    Eric Lerner claims that there seems to be a linear relationship between apparent size and redshift, which is more consistent with a non-expanding universe, while an expanding universe demands a non-linear relationship. However, there’s abundant evidence for the nonlinear relationship between size and redshift. There’s no evidence for any failure of the Tolman test. The Tolman test is a cosmological test that compares the surface brightness of galaxies as a function of their redshift. The test predicts that in a simple expanding universe, the surface brightness of galaxies should diminish proportional to both redshift and distance. This is actually seen in practice. Where is Eric's data that there is a linear relationship? He is just basing it on apparently more massive galaxies in the early universe. But these can be easily explained by bursty star formation and the use of incorrect IMF (initial mass functions). Bursty, rather than gradual, star formation can lead to some early galaxies emitting so much light that it inflates their implied mass. Eric does not seem to know what professional astronomers know.

      Basically we are finding very mature galaxies at the furthest distance. And the prediction made by inflation isn't what we are observing. So they calculated what a prediction would look like if the universe was not expanding. And it fits better with the observations.
