How Old Is the House
Conflicts in Science by Royal T. McArdell
About the Book: How Old Is the House challenges many popular beliefs about scientific theories and scientific issues. Arguments both for and against popular theories and issues are presented so that you can make your own decisions as to what to believe. The Introduction is about a house that is either new or 150 years old- perhaps you can figure it out.

Early Universe Cannot Be Seen Now
A recent article by Reuters reported that scientists could see the system of stars that existed almost 13 billion years ago shortly after the Big Bang occurred.
The author of the book "How Old Is the House" suggests that if light from events that happened shortly after the Big Bang are just reaching us now, we must have been here before the Big Bang took place. He also writes that the Big Bang theory appears to be scientifically illogical and therefore is not a reasonable explanation for the beginning of our Universe.
The problem with seeing events now that occurred shortly after the Big Bang, according to this author, is that the expansion rate of the Universe is thought to be about one-tenth of the speed of light. Since we can only see light that is going past us now, light from early events after the Big Bang would have passed by us billions of years ago because it was traveling away from the source much faster than the rate at which our physical universe is thought to be expanding.
The Big Bang theory and corresponding estimates of the age of the Universe are based primarily on observations of red shift. The Author goes on to suggest in the first chapter of his book “How Old Is the House” that we may be observing transverse red shift from stars moving in some other direction than directly away from us in what may be a rotating rather than an expanding universe, and that our estimates of speeds and distances may be in error. Similar to a giant carousel, our universe could be revolving to maintain stability. Smaller rotating areas within larger ones as observed through telescopes would make accurate measurements of speed, direction and distance extremely difficult and could account for some observations that are currently unexplainable.
