TL;DR Summary
Since the universe exploded (big bang) the velocity of objects in it changed, could the same be true for our arrow in time (relativity aside).
Is it theoretically possible that the whole universe is decelerating in time?

My question originates from the discovery, that objects further away accelerates away faster.
Is that acceleration measured from us or from the center of the big bang?

Please define what you mean by this.

Is that so? What's our velocity now then, and what was it earlier?

could the same be true for our arrow in time (relativity aside).
The arrow of time is a binary thing. This way is the future, the other way being the past. There's no magnitude to it.

You seem to be referring to the rate at which time flows, in which case I'd again ask you what rate it runs now, and what rate it ran earlier? It makes no more sense than saying a meter is a different size at this end of the field than at the other end.

They don't. The rate of expansion is not a speed or velocity. Different units (1/sec), vs m/sec.

It did not explode.

There is no such thing. You have quite a lot of misconceptions to clear up :smile: Please use our "search" option to find some topics about Big Bang, where most of this misconceptions were discussed.

Thank you for the quick answers. It is quite tricky to understand these concepts, not alone knowing some parts were explained to me incorrectly. I will look into the forums.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
