A new standard model of cosmology: Time-varying fundamental constants and the evolution of the universe

A new theoretical framework is presented to explain the evolution of the universe based on the time-varying properties of the fundamental constants. A static universe with time-varying constants can explain the origin of the cosmic microwave background radiation, CMB anisotropies, the CMB cold spot, the observed redshift-distance modulus data, the origin and composition of dark matter in the universe, galaxy cluster mass estimates, Milky Way galaxy luminosity estimates, population II stellar properties, vacuum-photon interactions, energy cycling between matter, radiation and vacuum field components, time-varying Higgs mechanism and particle mass, and the observed matter-antimatter dichotomy. This is a complete theoretical framework that explains the observable universe and resolves many of the issues with modern-day cosmology.In this latest edition, several additions have been added, including a more in-depth discussion of Lorentz transformation properties for a universe with time-varying constants, an expanded section on the Friedman solutions with full derivations of the stability of a static universe, a more extensive review of the zero-energy theorem including discussion of non-residual fields (e.g. zero-point vacuum, electroweak and dark-sector Higgs, and QCD fields), a new chapter on the isentropic vacuum pumping mechanism and vacuum coherence field, an updated section on photon-vacuum interactions and momentum transfer, an extension of the theoretical framework to explain symmetry breaking of the pristine vacuum state and products of formation, full derivations of acoustic wave properties generated by neutrino-photon scattering, an updated section on Neutrino masses, a new chapter on Neutrino cross sections derived from M-matrices and Feynman diagrams, and an expanded section on black hole recycling and conversion of radiation to the vacuum coherence field.
