Metric expansion in terms of planck pixels

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of the evolution of the universe and the expansion of space being a series of binary events, with energy being divided geometrically over time. It also explores the idea of the metric expansion of space being similar to a jpeg being redisplayed at higher resolutions or with decreasing pixel sizes. However, it is ultimately concluded that the metric expansion of space has no relation to pixels.

what if the evolution of the universe over time and the expansion of space a series of binary events such that the same quantity of energy is divided geometrically from one into two, four, eight, sixteen pieces, such that each Planck time is equivalent to one such split and each Planck length is one bit, such that the metric expansion of space can be thought of in the simplified case of a 1d universe as a single line segment of no finite length being divided successively in half? could the metric expansion be the same jpeg getting redisplayed at double the resolution after every Planck time, like a cycle? Or even if it's not doubling since that doesn't quantitatively match the expansion rate, what if the metric expansion is essentially the same jpeg with the individual pixel size decreasing and therefore the number of pixels constantly (but not necessarily continuously or at a constant rate) increasing?

1. What is metric expansion in terms of Planck pixels?

Metric expansion in terms of Planck pixels refers to the phenomenon of the expansion of space itself. It is a fundamental aspect of the Big Bang theory, which states that the universe is continuously expanding since its inception. Planck pixels are the smallest unit of measurement used to study the expansion of space.

2. How does metric expansion affect the size of the universe?

Metric expansion causes the universe to continuously increase in size. As space expands, the distance between objects in the universe also increases. This means that the universe is getting bigger and bigger over time.

3. Is metric expansion in terms of Planck pixels a proven theory?

Yes, metric expansion in terms of Planck pixels is a well-established theory in cosmology. It is supported by numerous observations and experiments, including the redshift of light from distant galaxies and the cosmic microwave background radiation.

4. Can metric expansion explain the large-scale structure of the universe?

Yes, metric expansion is a crucial factor in understanding the large-scale structure of the universe. As space expands, it affects the distribution of matter and energy, leading to the formation of structures like galaxies and galaxy clusters.

5. How does metric expansion relate to the concept of dark energy?

Metric expansion is believed to be driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. This force is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe and is thought to make up about 68% of the total energy in the universe. However, the exact nature of dark energy is still not fully understood.
