Session AB - Astronomy and Space Physics.
MIXED session, Friday morning, October 05
SWR L1, Sid W. Richardson Building
The field of astrophysics has undergone some recent exciting developments and debates. Some such debates involve the interpretation of redshift data demonstrating the acceleration of the Universe. Also the highly geometric walls of superclusters (1) -- of lumpy Universe remain unexplained where quasars and galaxies seem to be spread unevenly from red shift surveys. We demonstrate a scaling law from the rotating Schwartzschild solution using the Kruskal-Szekerer coordinates for cosmological, galactic and smaller black holes. The key to this technique is a conformal transformation of space-time which brings the infinity into a finite radius converging to a point. Argument is made for the relation of the Schwartzchild metric as compared to other metrical forms such as the Robinson-Walker, Kerr-Newman geometries etc.(2) Horizons are generated in non-terminating null geodesics. Some recent observations by the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 of the Hubble Space Telescope of Supernova SN1987A and Nebula MyCn18 display certain structures that relate to the plasma state field. (3) We will demonstrate our new scaling law and discuss possible explanations of the missing mass of the Universe in terms of vacuum state, polarizable, nonlinear structures. Some speculations on solar dynamics will be made.
