On dark matter and dark energy

The dark matter hypothesis was created to explain the reason for the preservation of stellar clusters from dispersion. The weak point of this hypothesis is the great age of space, which is 13.8 billion years. Based on experimental data, it is shown that the age of space does not exceed 10 thousand years. In this case, the hypothesis of dark matter is not needed, since stellar clusters cannot scatter in such short cosmic time. The dark energy hypothesis was created to explain the reason for the accelerated expansion of space. The basis for this phenomenon is a large amount of spectral redshift of distant luminous space objects. It is shown that this value is mainly determined by the significant absorption of light energy of distant space objects by a huge amount of intergalactic gas, and not by the movement of these objects. In this case, the hypothesis of dark energy is not needed, and space should not rapidly expand and scatter in space.

A Robust INS/SRS/CNS Integrated Navigation System with the Chi-Square Test-Based Robust Kalman Filter

In order to achieve a highly autonomous and reliable navigation system for aerial vehicles that involves the spectral redshift navigation system (SRS), the inertial navigation (INS)/spectral redshift navigation (SRS)/celestial navigation (CNS) integrated system is designed and the spectral-redshift-based velocity measurement equation in the INS/SRS/CNS system is derived. Furthermore, a new chi-square test-based robust Kalman filter (CSTRKF) is also proposed in order to improve the robustness of the INS/SRS/CNS navigation system. In the CSTRKF, the chi-square test (CST) not only detects measurements with outliers and in non-Gaussian distributions, but also estimates the statistical characteristics of measurement noise. Finally, the results of our simulations indicate that the INS/SRS/CNS integrated navigation system with the CSTRKF possesses strong robustness and high reliability.

Human high intelligence is involved in spectral redshift of biophotonic activities in the brain

Human beings hold higher intelligence than other animals on Earth; however, it is still unclear which brain properties might explain the underlying mechanisms. The brain is a major energy-consuming organ compared with other organs. Neural signal communications and information processing in neural circuits play an important role in the realization of various neural functions, whereas improvement in cognitive function is driven by the need for more effective communication that requires less energy. Combining the ultraweak biophoton imaging system (UBIS) with the biophoton spectral analysis device (BSAD), we found that glutamate-induced biophotonic activities and transmission in the brain, which has recently been demonstrated as a novel neural signal communication mechanism, present a spectral redshift from animals (in order of bullfrog, mouse, chicken, pig, and monkey) to humans, even up to a near-infrared wavelength (∼865 nm) in the human brain. This brain property may be a key biophysical basis for explaining high intelligence in humans because biophoton spectral redshift could be a more economical and effective measure of biophotonic signal communications and information processing in the human brain.
