The simulator was written by me and therefore it is "Personal Theory". I am a data analyst by trade and an applications developer. The motion that this simulator is using to generate observations is steady rate moving away from a central point. That is not mainstream established physics. I've...

Thanks Bandersnatch! I have an expansion motion simulator and I was able to generate a chart from the perspective of the observer that looks a lot like this graph (I have to set the observer out of sync with the Hubble flow to cause it). I plan to play with it some more to help me understand...

Got it. I will be more careful. No desire to offend anyone.

I'm sorry. I guess I don't understand the difference between scientific exploration and person ideas. Ibix prompted we me to wonder about constants. I googled constants, and found that some scientist wondered about G being a constant, set up experiments, and in addition examined measurements...

I read that one confirmation of Hubble Law is that you can determine the distance to an object (that I assume is linear) and divide it by the relative velocity measured to get the age of the universe. How long it would take them to come back together. That implies that cosmology holds...

For that matter, the Hubble Value likely is decreasing so slowly it could take hundreds or thousands of years to measure it. What if G is not a constant, changing likewise so slowly it could take thousands of years for us to see it? You know, if gravity propagates at the speed of light, maybe...

Thank you. But now I am struggling with when to apply d=Hv. What distance range does this hold up? If not all, why call it a Law? It sounds like that for very great distances it is useless. For close range, it is useless.

I'm really sorry for pressing, but I want to understand. From Wikipedia, "this deviation depends on how the expansion rate has changed over time." Whoever wrote this was offering this observation as how we know when acceleration started. Ibix wrote, "It's related to the acceleration term...

Thank you for the help, but I don't yet understand. If that is so, then the observation of linear by newer light is simply because of closeness, it's not really steady speed (linear), current acceleration is not big enough to show up at closer distances. So, still, how does this observation...

I read in Wikipedia that "For supernovae at redshift less than around 0.1, or light travel time less than 10 percent of the age of the universe, this gives a nearly linear distance–redshift relation due to Hubble's law. At larger distances, since the expansion rate of the universe has changed...

That is what I am exploring, a model that meets all the observations explained to me so far. It is an expansion out from a center. I am seeking to understand observations from others to discredit it, but I have found none that do. All the observations you suggested are predicted by my model, so...

Thank you so much! I read some of the tutorials but not sure if you had a specific one in mind. Anyway, I found this statement... "Thus if we saw a quadratic velocity vs. distance law, then an observer in a different galaxy would see a different law -- and one that would be different in...

If just geometry, that implies that observations are an illusion within relative motions caused by unobserved actual motions. How much effort has been put into finding hidden motions behind the observed? What if the observations are caused by a simple motion of all mass away from a center...

Actually, that is what I am trying to do, "focusing on things we actually observer." It seems like there are strange explanations struggling to explain strange observations. We know that Dr. Hubble saw distant objects moving away at speeds related to their distance from us. That is what is...

I read the article. Thank you. It does not answer my question. If objects are observed moving apart, and that is what "we call expansion" (PeterDonis), then what is this motion? It is obviously an expansion, but what is the nature of it? Is it mass drifting away from each other (inertia), or...
