As I have said on other posts, the SN 1a's are not reliable distance indicators, IMO, because of the huge variations in the temperatures of white dwarf stars and and also in their masses.
How then can you give any credibilty to these SN as accurate distance candles?

Another common acceptance of the BBT is that it is a 'uniform' expansion that is additive as in a baloon analogy?

What is the largest redshift observed by these SN?
If I remember right, it was less than 3 that is not a deep penetration of space as compared to the HDF's that see RS's of 7+.

So these SN are not suitable for evaluating the universe distances with such short observations.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
