Cosmic Expansion

Recommended Posts

So let's see if we can start a discussion. From the article it says,

 

''Why is it that in an expanding universe this effect of distance and speed increase is observed? Is it an illusion? Also I have never quite understood the acceptance of the evidence of these distant objects are receding at the velocities suggested, when the light they cast is telling a story about something that once happened, because the light signals from distant lanterns must be telling us something about the past, not the present state of expansion. Now it would make sense that most distant objects appear to move faster, because they did in fact do this, it’s just that they may not be doing this any more.''

 

So why do we see the more distant an object is the faster it appears to move? Could this not just be the fact that this light has taken billions of years to reach us, would suggest it was accelerating in the past but no longer? It would explain why locally systems are not seen to be moving as fast and in fact the local measurement is arguably the correct measurement for the expansion, since the information from distant lanterns are well-outdated. Those systems probably do not even exist any more. 

 

What say the forum?

There is just more expanding space between the objects every point of space you come across expands at a equal amount the more space between you and the object the faster it seems to be expanding away from you, but it could also be that in the past there was a greater speed of expansion happening then at this point since light takes time to travel the distance to you from the object, but I am more inclined to believe the first of the two possibilities are true as more space that is expanding would be between you and the object thus making it appear as if it is expanding faster at larger distances.

Look what a friend posted me today... isn't it funny?

 

Now scientists are not sure how fast the universe is expanding at all. Maybe not funny, but ironic concerning the nature of this post.

Just wait, they are about to find out that the Hubble's Constant is non constant and depends on the amount of space between you and the object, by the gods, I told you dubbel, moments before it was changed and discovered. Give Medvil props, called it!

Per my e8.999999adinfitum recursive cosmos fractal model of the quantum foam a subplanck particle suspended in negative charge (ground state bhs) by + positrons actually reverses expansion in the vacuum if it's a lunar, planetary, or stellar body in the vacuum because these types of antihydrogen-based atoms change the charge of the photons that compose the vacuum medium to negative......
