Metric expansion in terms of planck pixels

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of metric expansion in the universe, specifically questioning whether it can be likened to a series of binary events where energy is divided geometrically. The idea of associating Planck time with these divisions and comparing the expansion to a JPEG image being redisplayed at higher resolutions is dismissed. The consensus is that metric expansion adheres to the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric of General Relativity, with no mathematical correlation to pixel propagation or JPEGs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity and the FLRW metric
  • Familiarity with Planck units, specifically Planck time and Planck length
  • Basic knowledge of cosmological expansion concepts
  • Awareness of digital image formats and their properties
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric in detail
  • Explore the implications of Planck units in cosmology
  • Investigate the mathematical models of cosmic expansion
  • Learn about the relationship between energy distribution and cosmic structures
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and cosmologists interested in the mathematical foundations of cosmic expansion and the implications of General Relativity on the universe's evolution.

what if the evolution of the universe over time and the expansion of space a series of binary events such that the same quantity of energy is divided geometrically from one into two, four, eight, sixteen pieces, such that each Planck time is equivalent to one such split and each Planck length is one bit, such that the metric expansion of space can be thought of in the simplified case of a 1d universe as a single line segment of no finite length being divided successively in half? could the metric expansion be the same jpeg getting redisplayed at double the resolution after every Planck time, like a cycle? Or even if it's not doubling since that doesn't quantitatively match the expansion rate, what if the metric expansion is essentially the same jpeg with the individual pixel size decreasing and therefore the number of pixels constantly (but not necessarily continuously or at a constant rate) increasing?
