Sorry I got sidetracked for such a long time. I have just read your comments of that time. Light climbing out of a near-black hole object must surely be red-shifted. Space is so compressed in there, and light must be traveling slower, but speeding up as it leaves the object. Why should this view...
You may coin this as my Principle: "Infinite space is not capable of objective existence". Where in an infinite space can you place anything? An infinite space has no frame of reference for anything it may contain. But spacetime can grow towards infinity in that the Universe may continue to...
I am a layman in these matters, but hear me out... The Universe was ejected from the primordial singularity, and that's all the dark energy there was. Light that is coming out of a gravity well is red-shifted. ‘Long ago’ and ‘far away’ mean the same thing. So, the Universe is bounded by its...
