Just stuff I thought of while getting a little exercise. |
| Let's say the speed of light is 'faster' now than far back in time. An equally simple interpretation would be if the light speed was maybe 'slower' back then. An object would appear not quite so far away, but receding faster, if you measure it using our local faster speed of light. The speed of light may still depend on the 'tension' of the spacetime matrix. But like the frequency of sound goes 'down' the looser the string is in a guitar. Now I still don't know 'why' the spacetime is tighter around here. I'm just trying to come up with a simpler way to calculate the rate of expansion. If you go way back toward the big bang, maybe the light speed was so slow that the supposed 'inflation' in the beginning is just another illusion. Anything that had positive expansion, when light speed was almost zero, would appear instantaneous at the 13.8 LY sphere. |
