0 A Personal Preface 

As a retired lifetime professional innovator I am not the obvious expert to take on this subject.  

I am a retired "professional Inventor".  I worked for almost all of my working life in the Central Research Laboratories of EMI PLC and its later formats.  My job was to keep abreast of and think ahead of current technologies in the Physics, Electronics and, in the broadest sense, Communications industries.

At the same time I had to originate and run programmes and win bids to solve very difficult problems and requirements to time and budget. My personal interests kept me up with the growing points of astronomy and physics at the original scientific paper level.  I have also has a great interest and depth of study in Philosophy.

At the age of 56 he took early retirement from his work in 1999 so he could concentrate on his ideas of applying broad based evolutionary concepts across the whole of the development of science and human interactions.  This has led, among other things, to this current work on cosmology.

It is not without some trepidation that I am publicising the results of my studies, from fear of being dismissed as "just another crank".  I would be quite happy if someone could clearly demonstrate where my thinking is wrong and am seriously looking for peer review of these ideas.

However I am an expert in stimulating innovative thinking in others.  

From my own experience it is vital for the "coal face workers" in any research environment to retreat from the growing points and take a good look at the overall picture from time to time.  I have proved this many times in past projects.

As part of my job I have needed to have a very broad based understanding studied the broad growing points in a very wide area of science, technology, information and measurement theory via both the popular works and serious original papers.  

I have also had a lifelong interest in the growing points of fundamental physics, astronomy, cosmology and philosophy which I have similarly studied.  

This allows me to look at things from many different angles.
