Einstein's Variable Speed of Light Cosmology Trumps Both the Big Bang and the Steady State Models

Explore Einstein's original Variable Speed of Light (VSL) cosmology theory and discover how it challenges both Big Bang and Steady State models in this comprehensive conference talk. Delve into the historical development of VSL theory, beginning with Einstein's first conceptualization before 1915 and tracing its evolution through contributions from prominent physicists including Schrödinger, Robert Dicke, and Dennis Sciama. Examine the theoretical foundations including Mach's principle, the equivalence principle, and how VSL fits within conventional General Relativity frameworks. Investigate the explanatory power of VSL cosmology in addressing cosmic phenomena such as tired light effects, large-scale structure formation, and galaxy size distributions. Learn about Dirac's Large Numbers hypothesis and its connection to variable scales cosmology, while exploring speculative concepts like the "one particle Big Flash" model. Analyze two distinct versions of VSL theory and their implications for understanding universal evolution, including intriguing mathematical relationships involving Planck constants and particle masses. Gain insights into how VSL cosmology performs against standard General Relativity tests and its potential to resolve longstanding cosmological puzzles that traditional models struggle to explain.
