Cahill's Cosmological Model Exacerbates The Primordial Lithium Problem And Creates New Problems For Primordial Deuterium And Helium

TL;DR

Cahill's cosmological model, which claims to solve certain primordial element abundance issues, actually worsens the Lithium-7 problem and introduces new challenges for Helium-4 and Deuterium predictions.

Contribution

This paper critically evaluates Cahill's model, demonstrating that it fails to resolve and instead worsens key primordial nucleosynthesis problems.

Findings

Exacerbates the Lithium-7 problem

Creates new issues for Helium-4 and Deuterium

Contradicts Cahill's claims about resolving abundance anomalies

Abstract

In a recent article R. T. Cahill claims that the cosmological model based on his "new physics of a dynamical 3-space" resolves the CMB-BBN Lithium-7 and Helium-4 abundance anomalies. In this note it is shown that this conclusion is wrong, resulting from a misunderstanding. In fact, primordial nucleosynthesis in this non-standard cosmological model exacerbates the LIthium-7 problem and creates new problems for primordial Helium-4 and Deuterium.
