Tadpole galaxy merger. Star wakes and young globular cluster wakes for this merger of galaxy components clearly shows the dark matter halo of the central galaxy VV29a is composed of proto-globular-cluster clumps of baryonic-dark-matter primordial planets.

Gibson/Schild Stephan Quintet galaxy cluster preprint. This compact group of galaxies with highly anomalous redshifts (noticed by Geoff and Margaret Burbidge 40 years ago) can be explained as an end-on view of a linear galaxy cluster, formed by fragmentation of the primordial plasma along turbulent vortex lines at the Nomura scale 10^20 meters. Protogalaxies and galaxies stick together due to PGC-viscosity friction despite the expansion of the universe.

Physics Today April 2008

April 2008 Physics Today feature article "Cosmic sound waves rule" by Daniel J. Eisenstein and Charles L Bennett illustrates the key ideas of "Old Cosmology". Because the Jeans scale is larger than the horizon scale ct of causal connection, where c is the speed of light and t is the time since the big bang, the nonbaryonic (neutrino like) dark matter is assumed to be cold so it can have a small Jeans scale L_J < ct and gravitationally condense during the plasma epoch where the Jeans scale of the plasma L_J = V_S/(rho G)/^1/2 is > ct. V_S is the speed of sound and decreases with temperature giving CDM seeds that are assumed to condense in the plasma and attract plasma by gravity causing the large sonic peak observed in the cosmic microwave background. New cosmology says even if CDM exists it won't condense because it must be extremely diffusive from its small collision cross section compared to the baryonic matter (protons, alpha particles, electrons). The viscosity of the plasma is enormous because it is caused by photon collisions with electrons on large scales and the electrons drag along the ions to maintain electrical neutrality (nu = 4 x 10^26 m^2 s^-1). Any CDM induced sounds will be very small and rapidly damped out by this huge photon viscosity. The sonic peak is real and very large. It causes dT/T fluctuations of 10^-5. Such large temperature fluctuations from sound if they were in air in the audible range would be at the threshold of pain for humans. Their source from New Cosmology is the formation of the first gravitational structure at time t=10^12 seconds by fragmentation (void formation) at the Schwarz viscous scale L_SV=(nu gamma / rho G)^1/2 at density minima in the plasma. The voids expand as rarefaction waves limited by the sound speed in the plasma c/3^1/2. This is the source of the very loud "Cosmic sound" discussed in the Physics Today article, not CDM. See comments on the article.
