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?

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.
 
In this video I can see a person walking around lines of curvature on a sphere with an arrow strapped to his waist. His task is to keep the arrow pointed in the same direction How does he do this ? Does he use a reference point like the stars? (that only move very slowly) If that is how he keeps the arrow pointing in the same direction, is that equivalent to saying that he orients the arrow wrt the 3d space that the sphere is embedded in? So ,although one refers to intrinsic curvature...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
So, to calculate a proper time of a worldline in SR using an inertial frame is quite easy. But I struggled a bit using a "rotating frame metric" and now I'm not sure whether I'll do it right. Couls someone point me in the right direction? "What have you tried?" Well, trying to help truly absolute layppl with some variation of a "Circular Twin Paradox" not using an inertial frame of reference for whatevere reason. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge so I made a derivation or...
