Extracting a Cosmic Age of 14.6 Billion Years from All 580 Type Ia Supernova Redshifts in the Union2 Database (first draft) Eugene Terry Tatum Independent Researcher, Kentucky, USA https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1544-7505Abstract: Haug and Tatum have recently developed a cosmological model that links cosmic age, the Hubble constant, cosmic temperature, cosmological redshift and the Planck length in a manner fully consistent with general relativity. The original 2015 Tatum et al model, a “growing black hole” sub-class ofRH = ct models, predicted a remarkably-accurate Hubble constant value of 66.89 km/s/Mpc when inputting the 2009 Fixsen CMB temperature of 2.72548 +/- 0.00057K to their CMB temperature formula. Rearrangement of this formula also gave a cosmic age of 14.617 billion years. In the current paper, we apply the Haug and Tatum algorithm of curve-fitting cosmologic parameters to the entire Union2 type Ia supernova redshift database. In contrast to the Lambda-CDM model assertion of a 13.8 billion-year cosmic age, we find that the Union2 database matches with a cosmic age of 14.6 billion years. Thus, modern astrophysicists and astronomers have another roughly 800 million years with which to explain the “surprisingly rapid” growth of the first galaxies and their supermassive black holes.Keywords: Cosmic age, Supernova redshifts, Union2 database, Early galaxy problem, Cosmology model, RH = ctmodel, Black holes, Hubble tensionINTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDFor all practical purposes, the 2015 Tatum et al model of cosmology, called Flat Space Cosmology (FSC), was the first useful and highly-accurate Planck-scale quantum cosmology model [1][2][3]. Although this was not immediately apparent, the 2015 Tatum et al thermodynamic formula was key to further developments in quantum cosmology [4][5][6]. The most recent expression of this formula is the one published in the Haug and Tatum model of cosmology publication [7]. It is:
