    Attraction
In summary: Otherwise, this thread will be closed. In summary, the conversation discusses the calculation of distance from a galaxy or galaxy cluster where the recession due to dark energy begins and the attractive force ends. The use of supernovae type 1a as a standard candle for distance measurement and red shift for recession rate is mentioned. The concept of dark energy and its role in this calculation is also brought up. The question of how to calculate the distance from a galaxy where it no longer has an effect on the curvature of space-time is posed, and further clarification is requested on the currently accepted premise based on LCDM. The conversation also touches on the SPM theory, which is not allowed for discussion on this forum without valid references.

How does one calculate the distance from a galaxy or galaxy cluster where recession due to dark energy begins and "attraction" ends?

The above may help. Dark energy does not play a role in this description. Dark energy is inferred when Doppler shift distance measurement is compared with that described in the reference - particularly using supernovae type 1a.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I do understand the idea behind using supernovae type 1a as a standard candle to calculate distance and red shift to calculate the recession rate. What I am trying to ask is, If you have an object, galaxy or galaxy cluster, of known mass how does one calculate the distance from said galaxy where it no longer has an effect on the curvature of space-time? (ie there is no longer an attractive force) I assume it would be at this distance that expansion would begin to cause recession.

Are you looking for the actual equations used to calculate things? Or just a layman's description?

I'll take either.

A good technical discussion can be found in: On the influence of the global cosmological expansion on the local dynamics in the Solar System, Carrera et al. They do extend it to larger scales as well.

For what it's worth, I once used it to calculate the radius from the center of an isolated, spherical mass, where the accelerated expansion would cause a non-orbiting (stationary relative to the mass) particle to drift off and not fall into the cluster. This depends essentially just on the mass, Ho and the cosmological constant (lambda). In such a hypothetical (isolated) case, a free particle will always fall in if there is no lambda. If you are interested, also look at the Tethered Galaxy scenario, Davis et. al.

Hi Jorrie,
Thanks for responding. According to the SPM, recession would begin at a distance equal to the radius of a sphere that had a density equal to the critical density with the object at its center. Is this not a currently accepted premise based on LCDM?

Hi Richard, if I remembered correctly, SPM is a personal theory of yours that we did discuss on another forum. If I'm correct, then discussion of SPM is not allowed on this forum, which is reserved for mainstream theory and papers published in scientifically reputable media. I trust that you have read the general forum guidelines?

The short answer to your question is: no, the LCDM model, coupled to present observations, do not support such a model or premise.

And if that is the case, then @Jorrie is correct that it's out of bounds for discussion here.

In any case, the substantive question posed in the OP appears to have been answered, so either way this thread can be closed. @richardSPM , please review the PF guidelines as @Jorrie suggested. If you want to discuss SPM here, you will need to provide valid references (published peer-reviewed papers) as a basis for discussion.
 

1. How do you calculate recession and attraction?

To calculate recession and attraction, you need to use the gravitational force equation: F = G(m1m2)/r^2, where F is the force of attraction, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them. The force will be positive if the objects are attracting each other and negative if they are receding from each other.

2. Can you explain the difference between recession and attraction?

Recession and attraction are opposite forces that act between two objects due to their masses. Recession is the tendency of two objects to move away from each other, while attraction is the tendency of two objects to move towards each other.

3. How does the distance between two objects affect their recession and attraction?

The distance between two objects has a direct impact on their recession and attraction. As the distance between two objects increases, their attraction decreases and their recession increases. This is because the force of gravity decreases as the distance between objects increases.

4. Can recession and attraction be negative forces?

Yes, recession and attraction can be negative forces. This happens when the masses of the objects have opposite signs. In this case, the force of attraction will be negative, indicating that the objects are receding from each other.

5. How do you interpret the sign of the force in relation to recession and attraction?

The sign of the force can tell us whether two objects are experiencing recession or attraction. A positive force indicates that the objects are attracting each other, while a negative force indicates that the objects are receding from each other.
