I am deeply indebted to my late wife who showed endless patience over the years until her passing in August of 2014 as I built the concepts of Occam’s Razor. Since then, I developed a relationship with Bonnie Hodgdon and we were married in 2017. She has continued strong support of me as I have […]

In recent years the combination of […]

He expounded the belief that when two possible explanations can be given, always choose the simplest. This philosophy has also been […]
In August of 2001 I realized that modern cosmology had gone amuck. I had always believed that the fundamentals of the Universe were profoundly simple. So with my Excel spreadsheet I began to describe the Universe in the simplest terms possible. I made a series of assumptions one by one. With each assumption I calculated […]
What if we try to deconstruct this universe? We find a starting place, make assumptions, and see where they lead.What follows is an execution of that process. We begin with the most basic concept – the velocity of light and the size of the Universe. We test this with measurements for credibility. Then we take […]

What if all the Universe shares a common present? What if these events of the common present share […]

Kepler established 400 years ago that the periods for planetary orbits changed to the 3/2s power with the radius of the semi-major axis […]

What if, as in other gravitational systems, c varies with distance from the gravitational center? Then, just as in planetary orbits, […]

In keeping with General Relativity this curvature acts as a central gravitational force that determines the Universe’s radius. This curvature extreme […]

The same principles apply to the entire Universe such that […]
