Hi Nokton

Thank you for the encouragement. Guess you know what it is like to be in my shoes. If you have had a chance to create a web page describing your ‘spiral’ description associated with pulsars I’d like to check it out.

My quick answer as to where we are expanding is “into the unknown”. But this is an answer of little value without some adherence to a consistent model.

If every galaxy in the universe is observed to be moving, or carried by the expansion of space, then every galaxy has momentum, except our own. Does this make sense? Why should our galaxy be any different than any other galaxy?

If the expansion of the galaxies has now stopped, then this would allow us to be “stationary”. The indicated motion of galaxies would simply be a measure of the velocity in the past. But there are a few problems with this model. First there is still the problem of describing our velocity before we “slowed” down to where we are now, so the same problem is back. Also it is extremely unlikely we are observing the expansion at just at the right time in a multibillion-year-old universe.

To resolve this issue I propose that our universe is moving (expanding) in an unobserved dimension. If you look at my web site you will see a drawing of a Flatland Universe moving in an unobserved dimension.
Every “galaxy” in the Flatland universe would have the same speed or momentum. If the Flatland universe slowed down, galaxies observed in the past (since they are far away) would have a greater Doppler shift than those observed locally. This model depends on Light being apart of our observed reality, and the unobserved dimension.
