Hubble Reveals Observable Universe Contains 10 Times More Galaxies Than Previously Thought

October 13th, 2016

Via: NASA:

The universe suddenly looks a lot more crowded, thanks to a deep-sky census assembled from surveys taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories.

Astronomers came to the surprising conclusion that there are at least 10 times more galaxies in the observable universe than previously thought.

In analyzing the data, a team led by Christopher Conselice of the University of Nottingham, U.K., found that 10 times as many galaxies were packed into a given volume of space in the early universe than found today. Most of these galaxies were relatively small and faint, with masses similar to those of the satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. As they merged to form larger galaxies the population density of galaxies in space dwindled. This means that galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the universe’s history, the research team reports in a paper to be published in The Astrophysical Journal.

    For me, the title of the article doesn’t accurately convey the road traveled by this research team. I get the sense from the following quote, that their conclusions are overly skewed by mathematical modeling, at the expense of observable reality:

    “In addition, they used new mathematical models, which allowed them to infer the existence of galaxies that the current generation of telescopes cannot observe. This led to the surprising conclusion that in order for the numbers of galaxies we now see and their masses to add up, there must be a further 90 percent of galaxies in the observable universe that are too faint and too far away to be seen with present-day telescopes”

    What the paper seems to say is: lets throw out the feeble-minded notion that 90% of the universe is dark energy/dark matter, which we are not capable of detecting but which we know must be there because our Newtonian model of the universe requires it, to: 90% of the universe is made up of galaxies we can’t detect but must be there, because the new mathematical model says so.

    Without utilizing electrical science, it is impossible to have a thorough and accurate understanding of the universe, or even our own solar system. An indication that Plasma Cosmology has made its way out of the fringe science zone is the sheer volume of IEEE articles printed on the subject over the last 30 years. Membership of the IEEE is composed of 420,000 engineers, scientists and related professional disciplines, and is the largest association of technical professionals in the world, publishing one third of the world’s literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields.

    I got interested in the subject initially through an effort to understand the dominant driver of our climate, the Sun, but soon realized the comprehensive nature of plasma physics. One of the most gratifying aspects of the effort so far is having good explanation for why it is that the closer you move to the Sun, the cooler it gets. Starting furthest out at 2 million degrees in the corona, the photosphere close in is only 6000 degrees. Sunspots, which are holes in the photosphere and show a deeper level of the Sun, are only 3000 degrees. Doesn’t exactly mesh too well with the nuclear furnace idea.
