Can someone explain in some easy way.
For example, I think that everyone gets that the universe is expanding because space itself is expanding. No one quite knows how space itself can expand but ok so space is expanding.
Further, gravity bends space so light curves when it goes around dense stars and even black holes.
So can someone connect those two observations with the math and observations of this article?
The Sandworms can have the spice, but what I learned was that hermits have their own physics!
Ping!...................
Just tell me what is on the other side of nothing. Does nothing never end?
But only God knows, because he’s already there.

I wish I could........................
Yikes......that article went so far over my head, it almost knocked the Webb telescope out of orbit.......

It's like something out of a Robert Frost poem.
(I've been watching too much Gutfeld.)
That’s theology. Physically (meaning using current physics!) the question can’t be asked.
I don’t know that “space” itself is expanding, but everything inside of it is.
I’m hoping that the Webb telescope will show us what’s really “out there” in the manner that the two radio astronomers discovered the cosmic background radiation, only in a visual sense.
I have a difficult time when I’m confronted with higher forms of physics.
E=mc squared I get. I have a hard time with quantum physics and the like.
Not that I don’t believe in it, I get a headache trying to understand it.
I really don’t give a flying fig. I know how far away the grocery store, gym, and my daughter’s house are. The rest of space can expand or shrink all it wants. BFD.
How’s that for a scientific explanation?
From what I read there, it seems that previous assumptions of the relationships of particles (presumed to be on a “flat space”) were giving wonky answers when trying to figure how they moved. By using a different notation describing a curved space then observations “worked out” better.
But I’m probably seriously misguided ;-)
There being no duality...pluralism is untrue...
Meditate on compassion.
A remedial question before answering how to fold space without physical distortion…when the Big Bang occurred did it shoot matter primarily in one direction or did it shoot in all directions?
“The hard swallow built into science is this business about the big bang…
This is the notion that the universe, for no reason, sprang from nothing in a single instant… notice that this is the limit test for credulity.
Whether you believe this or not, notice that it is not possible to conceive of something more unlikely, or less likely to be believed.
I defy anyone. It’s just the limit case for unlikelihood: that the universe would spring from nothing in a single instant for no reason… ”
-Terence McKenna
I would say all directions instantaneously within a planck time it was done. This was complete with far distant galaxies light reaching us instantaneously (when it should have taken millennium). And on top of all of that, we are living in a computer simulation.
Damn, it is about time. I am tired of struggling with the subtle nuances of time and space.
My dad, long gone now, told me as a young boy looking at stars in the cold clear central NY winter, probably around 1973 or so, when I asked him how far were the stars? His response was classic. “Son, they are just always a bit farther than you can reach”.
He was right. Most of what we know of space and distance and time are turning out to be rather simplistic and archaic, even though only a entity old....
