Study finds possible alternative explanation for dark energy

[probuild42]

Thanks TR now I have a headache! To sum it up in theory as the universe expands time is slowing down and dark matter may not really exist?

Oh man, I'm going to go lift shit up and put down. This I understand!

now let's discuss what was not in the article. reading between the lines so to speak......

............shall we?

The assumption of the article is that time has been slowing down, well, over time.

What some fail to realize, to a certain extent, is that the speed of light is also the speed of time. Another way of saying this is that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. When you hit this theoretical limit, we call C, time stops. There is a very cozy correlation between the speed of light and the speed of time.

with me so far?

Everyone assumes that there is a big bang. Why? because the further back you look in time, objects seem to be moving away from you ever faster. So if you reverse the clock, er, the arrow of time, it would appear objects would be traveling towards one another.

Still with me?

But if time has been slowing down, when you look back in time, and based on the initial theorem, time passed more quickly.

And due to the correlation between time and the speed of light, if time was moving faster back then, then it stands to reason, light was traveling faster back then too.

So the universe is somehow slowing down. So if we look back in time to distant objects, then it too would seem reasonable that you would expect them to be moving away quicker the further back in time you look.

And if you are still with me, and this is somehow making sense, we now have posited a plausible argument against the big bang theory.

Those that can remember me yammering about the big bang, and how everyone just takes it for granted this is foundational theory, well, this is why I'm so skeptical about dovetailing theories together, each reliant on previous theories, to come up with a grand daddy theorem like the big bang. I'm not saying the big bang is wrong, what I am saying is are way too comfortable and taking it for granted that it is right.

The big bang is just a theory. And as our understanding of how the universe works, we may come to a point in time where we abandon the theory all together.

Like I've stated in my other threads, most can only see two possible options, either a big bang or a creator.

I'm now suggesting a third option.

And it's called, to quote a line from a famous Richard Prior movie....

"None of the above"


Make sense?
