No I was asking what the burn rate is derived from observation of present local space (z = 0), not form extrapolation of theorized age. As I said the burn rate is believed to be changing over time quite substantially, simply dividing the total burn by the total time would almost certainly...

On a related note what is the current Rate of burn in the local-galactic-group environment? I've read recently that high red-shift galaxies have been observed that have metal content close to that of present galaxies. This has been interpreted as indicating that the rate of burn was very very...

Please elaborate on the distinction between time coordinates and elapsed time. It sounds to me like your making a distinction between 'ticks' on a clock (time coordinates) and some kind of more 'true' time that can be said to have an elapsed period greater then what the clock can measure? If...

It sounds to me that all you have established james is that a universe infinite/unbounded in time must be cyclical and their will be a time 'horizon' in the past beyond which nothing can be known to inhabitants of that universe. While I agree this has many of the outward appearances of finite...
