'''''Eternal Universe''''' is a 2003 work by the Kazakh researcher [[Karim Amen Khaidarov]], written at Borovoye and issued through his Bourabai Research institution. Its subject is narrow and its target is precise: it re-analyses the supernova data that in 1998 was taken to show an accelerating universe — the observation from which [[Dark Energy|dark energy]] was inferred — and argues that the acceleration disappears when the same measurements are processed without relativistic adjustments and against an absorbing [[Aether|ether]]. | |||
The conclusion the title announces is that the universe is neither expanding nor accelerating, has no beginning, and requires neither a [[Big Bang|big bang]] nor dark energy to account for what is observed. | |||
The work is dedicated to the memory of the author's daughter, Anastasia. | |||

This article is about Khaidarov's 2003 work. For the cosmological view in general, see Eternal Universe.
Eternal Universe is a 2003 work by the Kazakh researcher Karim Amen Khaidarov, written at Borovoye and issued through his Bourabai Research institution. Its subject is narrow and its target is precise: it re-analyses the supernova data that in 1998 was taken to show an accelerating universe — the observation from which dark energy was inferred — and argues that the acceleration disappears when the same measurements are processed without relativistic adjustments and against an absorbing ether.
The conclusion the title announces is that the universe is neither expanding nor accelerating, has no beginning, and requires neither a big bang nor dark energy to account for what is observed.
The work is dedicated to the memory of the author's daughter, Anastasia.
The argument
In December 1998 S. Perlmutter and colleagues of the Supernova Cosmology Project published "Measurements of Ω and Λ from 42 high-redshift supernovae", drawing on the Calán/Tololo Supernova Survey. Distant type Ia supernovae appeared fainter than expected, and the standard reading of that shortfall was an accelerating expansion. Khaidarov opens by observing that this conclusion sits badly with the framework it was meant to serve: it disagrees with each of the three variants of the Einstein–Friedmann model.
His alternative takes the same supernova data and drops the relativistic corrections, substituting a classical premise: that space is filled with a universally present substance, the ether, which carries electromagnetic waves and continuously damps them — exactly as waves fade in any ordinary isotropic medium, whether solid, liquid or gas.
On that premise the energy of a quantum of radiation decays with the time it has been travelling,
- hν = hν0 e−Ht
where H, conventionally the Hubble constant and a rate of expansion, is reinterpreted as the coefficient of ether absorption. Combining this with the definition of redshift, z = λ/λ0 − 1, gives the travel time directly from the redshift:
- t = ln(z + 1) / H
a logarithmic relation in place of the expanding-universe one. From this Khaidarov computes the normalised peak radiated power of the supernovae and compares it with the catalogued observations, arguing that the fit is obtained without any accelerating term.
The move is characteristic of tired-light cosmology, and Khaidarov cites A. K. T. Assis and M. C. D. Neves' "The Redshift Revisited" (1995) as a review of the approach. He also appeals to a measured absolute motion of the Earth through the ether of some 390 ± 30 km/s, citing the light-speed measurements of D. G. Torr and P. Kolen (National Bureau of Standards, 1984) and of Stefan Marinov.
Significance
The interest of the paper for this wiki is that it attacks the dark-energy hypothesis at its observational root rather than on philosophical grounds. It does not dispute that the supernovae are faint; it disputes that faintness implies acceleration, and it does so by reprocessing the published data under a different assumption about what redshift is. If the redshift–distance relation is logarithmic because light loses energy to a medium, then there is no acceleration to explain and no need for a term to drive it.
This places the work alongside the other objections to the dark sector collected here — those of Halton C Arp on intrinsic redshift and Ari Brynjolfsson on plasma redshift among them — and it belongs to the same programme as Khaidarov's other papers of the period, "Gravitating Ether" (2003) and "Aethereal Mechanics" (2004). His "Galilean Interpretation of the Hubble Constant" (2005), published in Galilean Electrodynamics, develops the reinterpretation of H further.
Khaidarov thanks Valery V. Petrov for corrections, and Cynthia Kolb Whitney — then editor of Galilean Electrodynamics — together with Daniel Whitney for their help with the English version.
