that's what i meant by "everywhere at once".. I think..? anyway, wouldn't that just result in a uniformed shift that wouldn't tell us anything?

riiight.. So it's a bit like those depictions of gravity where the grid stretches down into a gravity well except.. Everywhere at once, and not 2D, and it's the bending of those lines that shifts the frequency.. Am i anywhere close with that?

Ok, cool, thanks.

Ok.. I'm grabing clumps of hair ready to tear. Sooo is it essentially, literally streatching the photons' wave frequency as space is added/streached(?)? Was that just a totaly nonsense question?

isn't expansion essentially making more space rather than moveing us in it? So why does it redshif light? Or is that just a super facile explanation of expansion that they explain people like me who wouldn't get it?...

This is a simple question but i keep finding conflicting answers and don't understand scientific and mathamatical language well enough to consult reliable data.. 'Cause I'm a dunce. So, is EVERYTHING outside the local group leaving us, or are some things in the virgo supercluster contracting...

isn't pyrolysis simply an endothermic reaction but without the flames?

i don't really mind critique, that was just a half joking disclaimer for the awful grammar and sentence structure, and to say that i am actually aware that the schrodinger reference has no baring on the concept he was actually positing.. and that spaceships don't have brakes.. i'm not at all a...

Here are a couple of short stories of mine that you guys are especially going to hate, as they have deliberatly nonsense science in them, IN SPACE!Space 1.. I was bored today so i decided to build a spaceship with an FTL-wormhole-warp-engine-thingy out of some old washing machine parts, a brick...

Well he does state that he is "..not a young man" after describing running. But perhaps you are right. I, in my 20s, already am starting to feel that i am not a young man when it comes to running.. But i think that the narrator says he has a weird shaped head at some point so he shoulden't have...

well i really didn't like the casting of the time traveler, he was too young for a start. sure, allot of wells' science is very dated, but the film makes LESS sense. it's about 800,000 years in the future i think, why would they (the eloi) still be talking about the cold war? that just makes...

What!? The 1960 version was awful! It was horribly casted. It tottaly missed the sociological predictions. (Part of the point was that there WASN'T a cataclysm to make that future come to be, it was successful capitalism that lead there) It has the eloi speeking english and looking wrong, (i...

Yup, i was being pretty dense.. But i totally get it now! Thank you!

I just noticed there was a sci-fi category and thought that this would be a good place to vent my outrage at the two 'the time machine' film adaptations. i saw them both recently. They miss the point entirely and are logically inconsistent! Why make a film of somthing that you clearly have no...

that was my first thought but it doesn't seem to make sense in my head as the light would still have to be over 13B years old even if that stuff it's coming from used to be near us.. Am I just being dense?
