From Quantum to Cosmology: Theoretical Limits on the Spectrum of Electromagnetic Radiation: The Key to the Universe? And Other Writings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798732690378)

A number of years ago, Richard B. Dowd developed a cosmological model that predicted that the universe was expanding, primarily because it was literally creating space as the end result of the destruction of mass, as the stars and galaxies burned. This idea was at odds with the most accepted views of the time - that space was just there and the "Big Bang" blew matter out into it, or that space and matter were both being created during the expansion. Dowd's model, on the other hand, predicted an inverse relationship between space and matter that would allow the universe to exist for an infinite time as some of the available energy changed from matter to space during expansion and from space back to matter during contraction. During the 1980s he wrote many letters to the leading physicists of the day, trying to convince them of this inverse relationship. Although his ideas are still not accepted, physicists now routinely talk about the "stretching" of space. They also accept that the expansion of the universe is accelerating during this epoch. Dowd's cosmology clearly predicted the cosmic acceleration some years before it was experimentally verified.This book explains his theory and also presents other writings that he believes are worth preserving.
