New Cosmological Model and Its Implications on Observational Data Interpretation

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new topological cosmological model based on a spherical shell within FRW formalism, which aligns with observations and offers alternative explanations for CMB uniformity and structure formation without relying on inflation or dark matter.

Contribution

It introduces a novel spherical shell cosmological model that fits observational data and challenges standard inflationary explanations for CMB uniformity.

Findings

Model satisfies cosmological principles and observational constraints.

Explains CMB uniformity without inflation.

Allows for early universe inhomogeneity and structure formation.

Abstract

The paradigm of \Lambda CDM cosmology works impressively well and with the concept of inflation it explains the universe after the time of decoupling. However there are still a few concerns; after much effort there is no detection of dark matter and there are significant problems in the theoretical description of dark energy. We will consider a variant of the cosmological spherical shell model, within FRW formalism and will compare it with the standard \Lambda CDM model. We will show that our new topological model satisfies cosmological principles and is consistent with all observable data, but that it may require new interpretation for some data. Considered will be constraints imposed on the model, as for instance the range for the size and allowed thickness of the shell, by the supernovae luminosity distance and CMB data. In this model propagation of the light is confined along the shell, which has as a consequence that observed CMB originated from one point or a limited space region. It allows to interpret the uniformity of the CMB without inflation scenario. In addition this removes any constraints on the uniformity of the universe at the early stage and opens a possibility that the universe was not uniform and that creation of galaxies and large structures is due to the inhomogeneities that originated in the Big Bang.
