radio emission rotates

· The polarization of radio emission rotates as it passes through
magnetized extragalactic plasmas. Such Faraday rotations in
quasars should increase (on average) with distance. If redshift
indicates distance, then rotation and redshift should increase

together. However, the mean Faraday rotation is less near z = 2
than near z = 1 (where quasars are apparently intrinsically
brightest, according to Arp’s model). [51]
· If the dark matter needed by the Big Bang exists, microwave
radiation fluctuations should have “acoustic peaks” on angular
scales of 1° and 0.3°, with the latter prominent compared with
the former. By contrast, if Milgrom’s alternative to dark matter
(Modified Newtonian Dynamics) is correct, then the latter
peak should be only about 20% of the former. Newly acquired
data from the Boomerang balloon-borne instruments clearly
favors the MOND interpretation over dark matter. [52]
· Redshifts are quantized for both galaxies [53,54] and quasars
[55]. So are other properties of galaxies. [56] This should not
happen under Big Bang premises.
· The number density of optical quasars peaks at z = 2.5-3, and
declines toward both lower and higher redshifts. At z = 5, it
has dropped by a factor of about 20. This cannot be explained
by dust extinction or survey incompleteness. The Big Bang
predicts that quasars, the seeds of all galaxies, were most
numerous at earliest epochs. [57]
· The falloff of the power spectrum at small scales can be used
to determine the temperature of the intergalactic medium. It is
typically inferred to be 20,000 K, but there is no evidence of
evolution with redshift. Yet in the Big Bang, that temperature
ought to adiabatically decrease as space expands everywhere.
This is another indicator that the universe is not really
expanding.] [58]
