Usually, the interpretations of physical observations are strongly influenced and guided by the prevailing Models accepted for representing the associated phenomenon. Quite often, a change in the founding assumptions of prevailing Models will drastically change the interpretations of same physical observations. Occasionally, certain arbitrary unverified assumptions, incorporated into a Models of physical reality, can produce wonderful fantasies like Big Bang. The students and experts of current cosmological models must often consider the possibility of verification of the founding assumptions of their models.
In my opinion, following assumptions do influence the current cosmological models and are largely unverified.
1. Light speed isotropy in ECI reference frame.
2. 4-D spacetime continuum as a physical entity that can be curved, rippled, expanded, deformed and physically influenced by presence of matter.
3. Doppler redshift is caused by relative motion between the source and detector and not by the combined effect of source movement and detector movement.
4. Source movement induced Doppler effect is the same for continuously emitted waves as well as for discrete emission of individual photons.
5. A gravitation field is produced by all forms of neutral matter particles as well as by all forms of energy like kinetic energy and field energy.
6. Universal Gravitation constant G is same for all forms and types of neutral matter particles and groups of particles.
7. Physical Space, metric Space, Coordinate Space and 3-D Space are all different names of the same entity.
8. Gravitational pull of a Black Hole is so strong that not even a single photon of visible light can escape from (event horizon of) the Black Hole.
