GR is not complete. Read ch. 88 of Gravitation by MTW.
I'm sure the standard model is as solid as Bohr's model of the atom... Bohr's model gave all the right answers but was wrong.
I can look up recession velocity in wikipedia. How about telling me what a unit of length is and a unit...
Interesting but not what I was looking for ... How do you know a clock measures time & why does a ruler measure length. What makes a clock a clock. And how do you define an abstract (thought) ruler and clock that can be included in the math. A measurement gives us the magnitudes we verify...
If the curvature is the result of relative expansion ala SR. Its too late.
Say I have r' = r * sqrt( 1- v^2/c^2 ) ...
where v = Hr'
r is not large or small ... its just some length that increases uniformly with respect to some other length ... say some material length. Doesn't that...
Yes ... somewhere I read a quote by Poincare that said something to the effect "... clocks and rulers are put in by hand...". And we know that a ruler is a line like object. A theory is verified by clocks and rulers... seems to me that a theory that begins with the objects we verify it with...
I have been considering that expansion velocities of volumes can treated relativistically.
Of course you run into a problem with the phrase "fixed non-expanding geometry". What does it mean in an objective sense? Same with small scale.
GR says "mass tells space how to bend"... I have...
Is the expansion of the universe relative to our clocks and rulers?
If so, it seems correct to include relativistic effects. And yet I am told that this is wrong.

There will be some heavy sunspot activity when the solar poles flip... should be some good aurora's...but how far south will they be viewable?
