When the universe is expanding then why not we are expanding along with it
Because expansion is so incredibly weak that gravitationally bound systems, and systems (such you you and me) bound by additional forces are not affected. Things as large as galactic clusters, and anything smaller, do not expandAnujkumar said:When the universe is expanding then why not we are expanding along with it
Well, if you don't like my answer don't accept it. I do suggest you do some research (which will show you that I have given you the correct answer). And by the way, "fabric" is a TERRIBLE way to describe the universe. Yes, I know Einstein used it, but he knew what he was talking about. For most people, it just leads to confusion.Anujkumar said:But according to the general relativity of Einstein the whole universe is a fabric of space and time and when this fabric of the space time is expanding then the effect must also occur in such a large structure because universe has a homogeneous entropy of space and time
But strong forces are short range forces ,and they only effective up to Fermi of distancerajaverma said:Take Earth ,not only gravitational but there are electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces so it might be compensating the effect

Yes, but my understanding is that the issue is NOT that it is hard to detect, the issue is that it just doesn't happen. It's like an ant pushing on a house. It's not that the ant moves the house such a small amount that it's undetectable, it's that the ant doesn't move the house at all. The ant simply can't exert enough force to change the balance of the rest of the forcesPeroK said:The expansion is too small to notice in any case. For example:
The lifetime (80 years) expansion per meter is about ##6 \times 10^{-9}m##. Which would be hard to detect.
And, for the Earth's orbit round the Sun. The expansion of space would amount to about ##1km## in a lifetime. That would also be hard to detect, even if gravity didn't counteract it.
Expansion at the atomic level would also be undetectable and counteracted by other forces in any case.
Khashishi said:The solar system is very much smaller, so the fluid approximation is not at all valid.
As I said in my previous post, gravitational orbits are different than electromagnetic orbits. What do you mean by "binding forces" for a gravitational geodesic orbit? Expansion could conceivably make planetary orbits get larger over time. At the same time, the orbital velocity of the planets would decrease due to cosmological redshift consistent with the increase in radius from the Sun.PeterDonis said:it's just way too small to overcome the binding forces between those objects (let alone the binding forces between their atoms).

Khashishi said:Expansion could conceivably make planetary orbits get larger over time.
Khashishi said:the presence of dark energy means that the orbital velocity needs to be a very tiny bit less for a given radius than expected just from the gravity of the Sun to execute a stable circular orbit. There's no "accumulation over time" effect
How do you know we are not?Anujkumar said:When the universe is expanding then why not we are expanding along with it

The term is accelerometer.petm1 said:We measure an accelerated expanding Earth at the surface, we do not measure this with our ruler, but we do measure it with our accelerators.
