QUANTITATIVE SCALING FOR THE SELF-SIMILAR HIERARCHICAL COSMOLOGY

Using two of Mandelbrot's general equations for self-similar systems, a set of basic scaling equations is established for the Self-Similar Hierarchical Cosmology. Given the known properties of atomic scale systems and the proposed scaling rules, it is demonstrated that stellar and galactic scal...

Description
Summary:Using two of Mandelbrot's general equations for self-similar systems, a set of basic scaling equations is established for the Self-Similar Hierarchical Cosmology. Given the known properties of atomic scale systems and the proposed scaling rules, it is demonstrated that stellar and galactic scale systems conform to the self-similar model quantitatively. Definitive predictions for future tests of the cosmological model are presented.
