    Expanding Space Time
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theory that the universe is not expanding, but rather that time is accelerating, leading to an apparent red shift of light. Participants reference an older thread and a specific paper linked by a user named Marcus, which outlines this theory in detail. The concept challenges conventional cosmological views and suggests a reevaluation of how red shift phenomena are interpreted in the context of universal expansion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cosmological theories, particularly the Big Bang theory.
  • Familiarity with the concept of red shift in astrophysics.
  • Knowledge of time dilation and its implications in physics.
  • Basic grasp of general relativity and its role in modern cosmology.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of time dilation on cosmological observations.
  • Study the paper referenced by Marcus for a deeper understanding of the non-expansion theory.
  • Explore alternative cosmological models that challenge the standard model of universal expansion.
  • Investigate the relationship between red shift and the expansion of the universe in current astrophysical literature.
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and cosmologists interested in alternative theories of the universe's behavior, as well as anyone exploring the implications of time and space in modern physics.

Anyone familiar with a theory that the universe is not expanding, but that time is accelerating, resulting in an apparent red shift of light emitted under an earlier and slower universal clock?

It's not really related to this thread but here's an old thread on it. I especially recommend this paper which marcus links in that thread and which is as far as I know where the theory is outlined.
