Abstract

In the Friedmann regression analysis the absorption lines of the Lyman α forest of quasars are identified with the crossings of the quasar light with hydrogen filaments located in the walls of a universal bubble structure. An analysis of 21 quasar spectra with 1360 absorption lines restricts the cosmological parameters of homogenous isotropic world models to those of a Friedmann Lemaitre model with best fit values of Ω0 = 0,014 ± 0.002 and λ0 = Λc 2/3H 0 2 = 1.080 ± 0.006.
