The Fate of the Universe

The strongest clue about the character of the universe near the beginning of time is obtained from the so-called type 1-A supernovae. These very ancient exploding stars appear to be receding from us at a speed that is greater than one-half the speed of light.

Because their red-shift is interpreted, and the recession rate is calculated, using Einstein`s Special Relativity Theor, it is that theory which is responsible for our current vision of the universe as expanding without end. It can be demonstrated that Einstein`s original paper, as well as his susequent book, contain contradictions, and grave errors in logic, which invalidate the idea that time is relative.

Reinterpreting the red shift leads to a younger, smaller, more densely populated universe, whose expansion will end, and the cycle of expansion and contraction can repeat without end.
