A Model for the Universe
The time we can take as a 5. dimension or in some other way.
This ball- like universe has a definite radius (r), which value we don't know. It is at least 13.8 billion light years, but probably still bigger.
Is there anybody who can transform the GR equations to this model and look if the evidence (red shift and others) fit with this kind of model?
The advantage of this model is that the universe can be eternal and infinite (in the sense no limit, edge or border, but everything inside it, no outside) as rationally expected. The space of the whole universe has no time, only the particles in it have time and the universe is eternal.
And there can be stars older than 13.8 billion years. Because the universe is eternal.
This is philosophically sound, is it? How it is with astronomical cosmologists?
-- Updated March 3rd, 2017, 6:52 am to add the following --
In some astronomical forums it was very difficult to discuss this, because they had strict rules. I'm very happy to discuss the matter here. My education is in the philosophy, in astronomy I am not qualified as a scientists. In the psychology I am a scientist, an academic scholar.
The new point here is that the space of the whole universe has no time even when it is 4. dimensional. Time comes as a 5. dimension or some other way. So the critic for static universes in the history does not have point here. And we don't have need for any creation of the matter as in the Hoyle's model or the expansion of the space as in the BBT, and the evidence can be explained. But there I don't have the needed competence.

Re: A Model for the Universe
You identify yourself as having "education … in the philosophy" and that "In the psychology I am a scientist, an academic scholar". I have a limited education in Philosophy and an undergraduate degree in Psychology.
You use terminology with which I am not familiar - although a brief online search of "4." gave me some appreciation of the mathematical concepts involved. Consequently I cannot adequately enter into the more intricate implications of the field, nor, therefore, make comment on the correctness of your assertions. Nonetheless I am moved to observe that it appears to me that words like "dimension" and "space" are used in a particular way that leaves them open to misinterpretation in the context of experiential perception. It seems to me that mathematically there are no limits to the number of 'dimensions' - and their associated 'spaces'. Ultimately they represent iterations of mathematical algorithms over whatever axiomatic bases can be generated inductively. My initial response is that this ought, in principal to be limitless. Nonetheless I think it likely there are limits to the existentially realisable manifestations that are possible … BUT, I do not know, and cannot point to anyone who does.
One proposition I would raise is that, there should be careful distinction made between the search for (i.e. love of) understanding - which I call "Philantilipsy", and the search for (i.e. love of) 'good'/'wisdom' - which is called Philosophy. Philantilipsy is predicated on ontology and epistemology, while I suggest Philosophy is entirely determined by axiology.

If you wish to bend your brain with higher dimensions I recommend Rob Bryanton's YouTube Imagining the 10th Dimension video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySBaYMESb8o#t=100.22712
