Curvature pressure in a cosmology with a tired-light redshift

A hypothesis of curvature pressure is used to derive a static and stable cosmology with a tired-light redshift. The idea is that the high energy particles in the inter-galactic medium do not travel along geodesics because of the strong electrostatic forces. The result is a reaction back on the medium that is seen as an additional pressure. Combined with the explanation of the Hubble redshift as a gravitational interaction results in a static and stable cosmology. The predicted Hubble constant is 60.2 km/s/Mpc, the predicted background microwave temperature is 3 degrees and quasar luminosity functions and angular size distributions are shown to be consistent with the model. Since most observations that imply dark matter rely on redshift data it is argued that there is no dark matter. Observations of quasar absorption lines, supernovae light curves and the Butcher-Oemler effect are discussed. The curvature pressure is important for stellar structure and may explain the solar neutrino deficiency.Comment: 27 pages, no figures.

Variational description of the positive column with two-stem ionization

The ionization balance in diffusion dominated discharges which depends on both one and two step ionization processes is considered. The Spenke diffusion equation (D sq delta n + neutrino n + sq kn =0) describing such conditions is solved by the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method. Simple analytic approximations to the density profile, and the similarity relation between neutrino,k,D and the discharge dimensions, are derived for planar and cylindrical geometry, and compared with exact computations for certain limiting cases
