Can I ask an even more ATM question here?
If matter also had a tendency to expand along with space-time ( which it clearly does although the expansion is counteracted by the gravitational pull of the matter ( which in turn contracts the matter )).
Then wouldnt we end in a box, inside of a box, inside of a box ( not sure if this is really zeno here ) kind of deal.
Like if matter and energy expand with space time, which would also could produce the hubble redshift. then at one point everything was smaller ... and now everything is larger and in the future everything is larger ... and really the compression is just a factor ( or a dimension ). ( Note: The expansion of space could be an illusion here )
Then as you extrapolate back in time instead of coming to a singularity of very dense energy you go back to a singularity of very weak energy ( proportionately as dense as the average energy in the universe today ).
If the compression can be taken as a mere illusion or other effect then you would end up in steady state rather than BB.

You may only say this when you don't know that the Hubble redshift is a standard stuff in a static universe. Once you know that, you are kidding yourself beliving in the Big Bang cosmology. And I don't care whether the universe is static or not (I'm not even an astronomer) but I don't want to kid myself where evidence is already there and consistent with all observations up to date.
Thanks for turning my atention to this forum. I met a guy who knew what he was talking about (Fortis) and I learned about galaxies angular diameter problem which I'm going to work on now (it turned out to lead to a differential equation that I can't solve yet analitically, but I just started). It'll look good in my PhD when I solve it and if not I don't need to do this PhD  To bad they closed my thread before I manged to solve the problem. But I doubt they are interested in science anyway. So long, Cougar. |
