|---|---|
Moshe Carmeli (1933-2007) was Albert Einstein Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Ben Gurion University in Israel and president of the Israel Physical Society. [1] According to John Hartnett the Carmeli cosmology is revolutionary in its implementation and interpretation. Carmeli approached the problem of explaining the structure of the universe using new physics that primarily involves a new dimension - the radial velocity of the galaxies in the expanding universe. In his theory, no explicit cosmological constant[note 1] or any dark energy is employed. Carmeli's model is a challenge to standard big bang theory, because it shows that a model other than Friedmann-Lemaître models can describe the large structure of the universe without the two needed add-on fudge factors, hypothetical 'dark' matter and 'dark' energy.[3]
The University of Victoria in British Columbia summarized about him: "Carmeli has suggested that the universe's expansion must be constantly accelerating, and that time is therefore relative; in other words, it can only be measured relative to the position and velocity of the measurer. This also means that time must have moved more slowly in the past when the universe was smaller and moving more slowly. Carmeli's work has posed an intriguing set of problems for theoretical physicists and has even been investigated by scholars for its philosophical and religious implications."[4]
