Fundamental is generally what the academic community of science accepts to be a measurement, concept, or law, discovered or supported by empirical systems of investigative and/or with the best known rational scientific methodologies to describe realities and phenomena.

Present fundamental laws and concepts support whole branches and subfields of science.  However, science should never be laissez-faire as new science using breakthrough thinking in combination with improved methods of investigation, and new observations can overturn what had been accepted previously as a fundamental concept.

A scientific revolution could occur with new branches of scientific breakthroughs, or new fields of study revealed, if a scientist notices a problem, looks for abnormalities, or makes an observation, with the goal of formulating a replacement hypothesis for an existing fundamental concept or phenomenon description that is on shaky ground, or poorly supported – for what is, the real and correct science behind an observation, a phenomenon, or force.

Thomas Kuhn in his 1962 publication of, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, warned of what he called normal science.  Scientist conducting academic science without questioning or challenging the underlying assumptions for observations, experiments, theories, or current explanations.

Normal science practised by academia tends to continue into a psychological phenomenon that is known as group thinking, which is very dangerous as it also actively suppresses dissenting viewpoints and puts up institutionalises barriers to block or prevent outside influences.  Leaders and entrepreneurs of the open science movement are working to eliminate group thinking and the institutionalised barriers by opening the doors of access and disseminating of ideas, research, and knowledge.

The progression of the internet is an important opening door that can be used for solving foundational questions in physics and cosmology as data and knowledge are released into the world, available for research and building blocks that previous generations did not possess or had the opportunity to utilise.

The internet, open science, and increased knowledge are pose to contribute or correct what is presently fundamental by the fact it is becoming the way to practice and propagate scientific knowledge from the practical and philosophically fields.

What is considered as fundamental in science or used in our understanding of cosmology can be rooted on a solid foundation of scientific methodologies, measurements, and data, or on various degrees of certainty.  It, however, can also be based on precarious hunches or of questionable conclusions which academia continues as lemmings to propagate as the science, but really, it is doubtful, or suspicion, or problematic, or complicated, or puzzling.

The public and the science community should be aware of what type of universe to which scientist offer their ideas, conclusions, and predictions for acceptance.  These scientific pursues relies upon fundamental foundations which may be solid, or faulty, or doubtful.

Nature can be described on different levels, and the relationship between them can be profound.  These differences should be useful in creating a system to judge between the various ideas, models, science statements, hypothesises, mathematical calculations, theories, etc., that are used to describe phenomena or the universe and the fundamentals on which their support, conclusions and predictions are based upon.

The Visual Universe is our first impressions of what is observed by our human visual senses.  Our visual senses are fundamentally flawed in perceiving reality correctly.  The past is repeatedly littered with wrong conclusions by first impressions of what was visually seen, and therefore should be recognised as a continuous on-going logic problem to be overcome.   The Visual Universe is fundamentally an incomplete understanding of the universe because of our limitation of what we visually see, and our human limitations for making correct conclusions.  Historically wrong visual impressions can be corrected and revised as science advanced.

The Detectable Universe is supported by the scientific methods, philosophies of science, research, investigation, data collecting, and the use of new instruments.   The Detectable Universe is observed affecting the Visual Universe by instrumentation or by methodology, however occupying the space beyond our visual senses to observe it.

The Mathematical Proposed Universe is purely exploratory mathematics – seeking an explanation for phenomena that may or may not exist.

The Speculative Universe is not observed at all and is of the imagination, or of pure speculation.

Also, in the philosophy of physics and science the effects on observations and phenomena because of phenomenalism is weakly considered.  Astrophysics phenomenalism should be expanded upon as a fundamental scientific methodology to be seriously considered when making conclusions or predictions for observations and measurements.

Phenomenalism from the Greek phainomenon (appearance) philosophically means any system of thought that has to do with appearances.

The Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion Eastern and Western Thought, W.L. Reese, Humanities Press says, “The difficulties present in the dualism of phenomenon and object have led a number of philosophers to the position of phenomenalism.”

Astrophysics Phenomenalism defined as; An observation may be contemporaneous, appearing at the observation level to the senses an apparent observation and descriptive experience seen, but occurring from the source some distance further and time earlier – the original true and whole phenomenon, unlike our summarised description and conclusions.  Contemporaneous defined as when two or more events are occurring, or processes are taking place at the same time.  The descriptive observation and the source are two separate electromagnetic spectrum events but incorrectly described as being the same, in a flawed conclusion and description of the source and the phenomenon observed.

Fundamentals on which our conclusions for theories and hypotheses are based on, need to explore, to identify, and to recognised causes and effects from Astrophysics Phenomenalism that may prevent defining the true fundamentals for a theory or hypothesis.

Certain astrophysics phenomenalism can be overcome by the development of observation principles that an earth observer or a scientist should consider that may be affecting the observation before offering a theory or hypothesis.

The toolbox that a scientist can utilise to describe the effects and causes from astrophysics phenomenalism is incomplete, and that is why incorrect fundamentals proposed to describe certain phenomena and observations are producing no empirical evidence from instruments, direct measurements, and experiments used to support the suggested causes.

It is safe to say science is missing one or more fundamental “keys” needed to unlock the mysteries of the universe that continues to perplex physicists and frustrate experimenter seeking for the fundamentals suggested, but not finding the empirical evidence to support suggested hypothesises.

Mysteries and abnormalities sometimes exist because of wrong reasoning that cannot soundly resolve the many problems realised.  The reasonings are the fundamentals used from the scientist’s toolbox to try to pry open the lid for the real description of the phenomenon seen.  If those fundamentals are wrong – then the pieces will not come together to formulate the correct hypothesis.

However, sometimes historically a new technology and/or a keen observation swings a door wide open to create a scientific revolution and a fundamental shift to give us a clearer understanding of the Universe.

The search for the unknown fundamentals for the still existing mysterious and perplexing phenomena must go beyond the normal science of academia, and may be unravelled by the advances of open science and by the disseminating of information on the internet.

The search for the true fundamentals of the Universe is still in the research phase, as it is generally agreed by the scientific community that there is a substantial lack of solid empirical evidence to support much of the ideas and speculations provided from the electromagnetic spectrum information received from the universe.

There is also the problem of making wrong conclusions that seem to be correct but are not.

The true fundamentals still lie in the tools to make the pivotal changes – the scientific method and the best applications from the philosophies of science, theories, and physics.

The fundamentals for understanding reality and describing phenomena are supported by solid applications of the fundamentals of the scientific methodologies available in the scientist’s toolbox otherwise, it is just a working model or speculation.

The Doppler Effect for the redshifting of light observed from the Universe is one of the two pillars used to support the Big Bang Theory.  The other is the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation which was predicted to exist in 1948 and then in 1965, found to exist, to which in 1978 the discoverers received the Nobel Prize for Physics.

One of the problems of the Big Bang theory is the rewind calculates into an unrealistic, unbelievable, and outrageous mathematical reality that says the creation of this Universe started from the size smaller than a pea and remarkably somehow expanded by a process called inflation to the size it is today in 35th billionth of a second.

Also there are still the undiscovered theoretical existence of dark matter and dark energy to substantiate the Doppler Effect as the reason for the Redshift. Common sense and logic says the jury should be out until these two supporting missing pieces for the puzzle are confirmed with certainly before the Big Bang can be called a theory.  It is a fact that no matter how hard standard cosmology scientists try to make the Big Bang into a theory, it’s only a working model that tries to make the redshifting observed fit into a working mathematical equation that is unrealistic, improbable, and flawed because by most scientific definitions, fundamentally unsupportable.

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. “ (Habkkuk 2:2 Holy Bible KJV)

Astrophysics and particle science today is largely created by theorists who mathematically create their visions for models, theories, and hypothesizes and expect experimenters to confirm that their equations and formulates are correct. However in the end; the correct observational conclusion is the main ultimate decisive factor determining if the vision is correct, because if the conclusions made are wrong then the theory is also wrong.

What are the observations telling us, and are the parameters used for making the conclusions correct?  Fundamental concepts for the real nature of energy, the misunderstanding of gravity, the complexity of light, and miscalculation of what is time, has caused misunderstanding and led scientific conclusions astray that leads into a scientific field that can be categorized as no-way science.

What is the direction the Universe is going into?  Is the vision of an expanding cloud that is speeding away at a faster rate at the edges that even tugs at light to stretch it as portrayed by present conclusions or is it really something else that is based on a sure foundation supported by known laws of physics?

Cosmology is built on fundamental assumptions, and is categorized for definition by different groupings. Standard cosmology and non-standard cosmology – are the first analytical criteria used in the grouping of cosmology modeling.

Generally non-standard models are considered to be all the crackpot ideas while the standard model is to be accepted, taught, and perpetuated by the academic community. However the standard model has known problems which are defined if you want to look them up, also observable abnormalities, and a few/many serious unbelievable and non-logical conclusions.

Astronomy.com reported that for the first time a “fast radio burst” has been detected using an instrument other than the Parkes radio telescope in Australia.

In the article Victoria Kaspi from Montreal’s McGill University said, “The radio waves show every sign of having come from far outside our galaxy – a really exciting prospect.”

Jason Hessels from the University of Amsterdam also said, “The race is now on to figure out what causes these burst.”

An international team of scientist who study these burst estimated that there are about 10,000 each day over the whole sky. Read the rest of this entry »

There are two types of electromagnetic spectrum energy momentums – steady flow and explosive flow.

All energy diminishes from high to low – that is a simply fact of nature and is seen in countless examples. The energy from the sun decreases as it leaves the source and so does each star and each energy phenomenon occurring in the universe. Examples are everywhere even in the vacuum of space – which we were told enables energy to go on forever (but not supported by the observations or measurements.)

I already coined a word astromeinradiation for the recording of diminishing and remanent energies from a distance source. Now I am designing another word “dynascale” for the explosive flow.

From the Greek root words:
dyna = power
scal = ladder, stairs

Dynascale radiation is the electromagnetic spectrum fingerprint of a high energy explosive event. Read the rest of this entry »

When one discovers a new phenomenon and needs to create clarity there is a need to create a new word to describe it.

In astronomy or astrophysics a term is needed for when energy detection is diminished or lower by distance. When distances increase energy detection is decreased – that is a simple fact of nature – but so far not recognized in astronomy or astrophysics.  There is a need to create a new word to make it a recognizable phenomenon.

The word is created from three Greek root words:

1. astr = star.
2. mei = less
3. radi = beam, spoke Read the rest of this entry »

Phenomenalism from the Greek phainomenon (appearance) philosophically means any system of thought that has to with appearances.   “The difficulties present in the dualism of phenomenon and object have led a number of philosophers to the position of phenomenalism.” [Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion Eastern and Western Thought, W.L. Reese, Humanities Press]

If the descriptions and conclusions for an observation are altered in any way by conditions of perception due to phenomenalism, discombobulating science is created.  To discombobulate is to become confused or stymied.  Phenomenalism is a problem in astrophysics that leads to science going down the wrong path that causes confusion and stifles the true nature found in cosmology.

Phenomenalism is hardly recognized in scientific methodology for understanding the universe and I propose we develop and build a new branch of scientific methodology specifically called Astrophysics Phenomenalism to explore, identify and recognize the causes and effects that produce phenomenalism.

There are a lot of controversies regarding the current and dominant Big Bang Theory, which causes some professional and laypeople to doubt that the theory is correct.  

The two main fundamental pillars of support for the Big Bang Theory are the redshifting of distance objects and the seeing of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR).

The Experimentum Crucis:

I propose a laboratory experiment as an experimentum crucis.  The results of the crucial experiment offer a new conclusion for seeing the redshifting of distance objects and for the existence of the CMBR.  Read the rest of this entry »

The Big Bang Universe contains a lot of conceptual problems which are generally supported by scientific consensus but if investigated there are flimsy underlying assumptions, conflicting interconnecting theories, and unexplainable abnormalities.

When one model of the universe is disposed of – it must be replaced by another.  I propose for critical examination what I call the 3D Expanding Universe. 

The foundational footings for launching the theory are a set of observation principles and two crucial experiments also known as critical experiments or by the Latin term experimentum crucis.

In science the conclusions from crucial experiment results are to enable the scientific community to decisively decide between two competing theories, falsify other interconnecting models, account for existing abnormalities, and provide measurable predictions.

The observation principles are tools that give greater understanding for making proper conclusions or likely assumptions for an earth observer to use.  

The 3D Expanding Universe is a universe that expands into infinity that is creating larger and larger worlds that are observable and supported by advance scientific methodologies that will be explained in greater detail by content publishing in this website, Google+ and open science portals such as Figshare.
