Type Ia supernovae observations do not show time dilation

TL;DR

This paper presents evidence that Type Ia supernovae do not exhibit the expected time dilation effects, challenging the standard cosmological interpretation of an expanding universe.

Contribution

It identifies an anomaly in supernova templates and provides direct analysis showing the absence of time dilation, supporting a static universe model.

Findings

Template width proportional to wavelength anomaly

No observed time dilation in supernova data

Supports static universe hypothesis

Abstract

The standard analysis for type Ia supernovae uses a set of templates to overcome the intrinsic variation of the supernova light curves with wavelength. This paper shows that standard templates contain an anomaly in that the width of the template light curve is proportional to the emitted wavelength. Furthermore this anomaly is exactly what would be produced if epoch differences were not subject to time dilation and yet time dilation corrections were applied. It is the specific nature of this anomaly that is evidence for a static universe. The lack of time dilation is verified by direct analysis of the original supernovae data.
