A problem with the analysis of type Ia supernovae
  Type Ia supernovae have light curves that have widths and magnitudes that can
be used for testing cosmologies and they provide one of the few direct
measurements of time dilation. It is shown that the standard analysis that
calibrates the light curve against a rest-frame average (such as SALT2) removes
all the cosmological information from the calibrated light curves. Consequently
type Ia supernovae calibrated with these methods cannot be used to investigate
cosmology. The major evidence that supports the hypothesis of a static universe
is that the measurements of the widths of the raw light curves of type Ia
supernovae do not show any time dilation. The intrinsic wavelength dependence
shown by the SALT2 calibration templates is also consistent with no time
dilation. Using a static cosmological model the peak absolute magnitudes of raw
type Ia supernovae observations are also independent of redshift. These results
support the hypothesis of a static universe.
