A True Uniform Expansion Model

Absolute Measures

Absolute and Relative measures of Distance (Expansion and the “Eye of God”)
We can use a ruler to measure the size of a pizza. If the pizza and the ruler proportionally expand the same proportional amount, it is impossible to describe the change using our relative rulers. However, if we look at the expanding ruler and pizza from an “Eye of God” perspective we can see how much bigger the ruler and the pizza have gotten compared to their initial observed size. A uniform expansion introduces two measures of length, relative and absolute. Humans measure the Universe in relative terms and God measures it in Absolute terms. As humans we would have no direct local measure of a uniform expansion and it takes an “Eye of God” like perspective to describe the expansion.

Absolute and Relative Time
Relative time is defined as the time interval between points, with the speed of light defining the interval of time. Relative time is also the measure of time we use locally. The cumulative measure of relative intervals of time is experiential time.

Absolute time demarcates a point’s location historically, relative to the moment of creation, the beginning of time, or the “Big Bang” if you prefer. We each have a unique moment in history. Absolute time is unique.

An Absolute measure of time is needed in this model for the same reason an absolute and relative measure of length is necessary to describe a uniform expansion. All clocks and physical process slow down at a geometrically defined proportional amount with the expansion of spacetime. In order to describe how our relative measures of time are all slowing down, an absolute or fixed reference to measure time is necessary, it is necessary to use an “Absolute Clock”.

All Clocks slow with the expansion of spacetime
A brief explanation as to why clocks must slow with the expansion of spacetime is realized by considering a Pendulum. If the length of a pendulum increases, the period increases. It was also stated that in this model the effect of gravity diminishes with the expansion of spacetime, since the centroidal distance between the center of mass of the pendulum and the Earth increases. This diminished effect of gravity would also increase the period of a clock. What is especially surprising is that all clocks and physical process slow down the same proportional amount, preserving the relative measure of time. The only way to describe how our relative measures of time are slowing down is to establish a “fixed” or absolute measure of intervals of time.

Why use “absolute” measures?
The advantage of using absolute measures is that they reveal a hidden geometry of nature. The inverse square laws become based upon a specific geometric expansion described by absolute measures of spacetime. Principles of conservation of Energy and momentum become geometrically defined by absolute measures. It is all geometry.
