The New Cosmology and the New Gravity

Authors: John R. Rix

Traditional cosmology and gravity feature dark matter, dark energy, and an expanding universe. These features (plus general relativity) generate predictions for observations. Recent observations by the James Webb space telescope and improved observations of the Hubble parameter have generated a tension with traditional predictions that has passed the breaking point. The time has come to consider a replacement for tradition—this document (NCNG). NCNG studies a wide range of astrophysics topics of interest. NCNG is structured as a textbook or as a series of lecture notes for graduate students. A good starting point for a new reader is Appendix A, where there is a brief history of traditional development. There is also a brief history of how my ideas for NCNG were born, and why I believe I am qualified to launch this revolution.
