No. No no no no no.

There is no acceleration, the only acceleration was the initial big bang blast.

Quote:
The point is: there has to be some force which is causing this velocity difference.


(sighs) Yes, the fact that the matter closer to the outside edge of the universes shell is farther away from the mass of the universe than the matter on the inside of the shell.

Quote:
Why are some stars, NOW (Billion of years after the Big Bang) decelerating faster then others?


Because they are closer to the rest of the matter in the universe and therefor that matter has a greater pull on them.

It doesn't show light speed as far as I know.

So I guess you are right.


Yea me.

Quote:
Nevertheless aren't we measuring distant objects moving away from us with velocities at least up to 1/2 c?


I don't have a clue. Don't matter.

According to your idea we are living in the middle of the shell of an expanding sphere.

Quote:
Since we can observe distant object in every direction moving away from us with 0.5 c, this leads me to the conclusion the inner part of your shell is standing still, the middle part (including ourselves) is moving with 0.5c, the outer part is faster yet, moving with 1c.
Otherwise you can't explain the difference in velocities.


No, go back to the car anology. The inner part is decellerating faster than the outer.

Quote:
Furthermore in your hypothesis we should observe a universe with different velocity distributions to each side. Objects at the same distance to the "point of the BigBang" as us should be moving with the same velocity?
So we shouldn't see any movement of them at all?
(apart from movement due to stretching of the "shell" over a larger amount of space).


Yes.

Quote:
In any case, I think your idea is scientific, in the sense that your idea is falsifiable. Your hypothesis makes some observable predictions which don't fit the actual observations.

Your theory at least requires a careful arrangement of acceleration/deceleration and positioning of our place (roughly in the middle of the shell)?


Actually I would say we are closer to the inside or outside edge of the shell as evidensed by eh "hole in the universe" measurement that was taken. It's around here somewhere.


I would guess the size of this "hole" is wrong.


Depends on how far we are form the inner or outer limit.

400,000 years after the big bang my universe shell would have been still expanding. I guess the radiationhad to come from somewhere so it stands to reason that it came from all matter so it could be coming from the opposite side of my universes shell which would be 800,000 years worth of travel away from us at the time of it's beginning to radiate.



Quote:
A shell of matter sending out radiation, would be clearly visible. We should have a clear anisotropy with most of the background radiation coming from one side of the universe.
Actually at any point X in time (years after the explosion) we should see only the radiation emitted by the parts of your shell in exactly X - light years distance. I would assume we would measure a circle of background radiation (The intersection of your universe-shell and a sphere with a radius of X light years.


it all depends on how thick the shell is, doesn't it? At this point I can guess that it is at least 27.4 billion light years think.

What? No "way to go Marchimedes, nice job gettin 100,000 views there" or nuttin?

Man, what a bunch of stiffs. you'd think this site gets a 100,000 view thread everyday, is it any wonder I had to throw my own party? And you know how shy I am and all. Does this site have many 100,000 viewss threads?

Does this site have 100,000 views on any page?

It tell ya, a guy friggin busts his hump day and night and this is the thanks I get? I mean would buying me a beer friggin kill ya? Maybe a nice card or sumpin? A plaque? A PM telling me I don't suck? Have you been to other science sites? Seen what they have? I tell ya what they don't have...Marchimedes. (So they always ban me, doesn't count)You could go there and taunt them, "na na na na na, you don't have any 100,000 view threee-eads, we do and you don't". And then link to here.

This is an advertising dream. Or as I like to call it "smackvertising".

I think you should make me an honorary moderator or sumpin. You know, put "hero moderator" under my name. Don't actually give me mod powers or anything, but let me say I'm a mod, chicks dig that.

You know, this is the perfect opportunity to throw off the yoke of "geeks" and "nerds". I could be the sites Bluto, we'll have Toga parties and I'll get you guys laid, finally.

I'm gonna go home now and pout.

My baby sister of 8 years, Stacy June, Mother of Mckenzi and Nick, suffered a stroke today on her right side. They got her to the ER quick, don't know much right now, but those of you that do would you do that? Pray?



Please.

Granted; best intentions and prayers are coming your way. Good luck to you and all. Eighteen hours/day of rehab. is a goal to work towards. Hope you have that opportunity! Good going on the 100k too. Keep on.... ~SA

I think your sister should get well soon because you had
the faith to ask for others to pray.

believing that prayer will help.

and I hope she does have a speedy recovery.

It helps is his sister knows about all that praying, and believes in it too!

Can't prove that, but I'll take it any day, the kid is doing fine, full recovery so far.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

(observes minimum necessary time before reverting back to usual humble polite self)

Well lookie there, actual mention of my wonderful accomplishments, the 100k view mark. Why thank you samwik.

See, it won't crash the server to come out and tell me good job.

Ah, a problem perhaps with the theory of relativity as I understand it.

So as you approach the speed of light time slows down for the traveler. The way I've read it any object or person at speed has time pass slower than a stationary object of person.

For instance, two men born at the exact same time, slated to live for the same amount of time exactly...

One is a Concord pilot of many years, the other a snail herder, the snail herder is gonna die first.

Now I understand that this phenomena has been so-called proven, with clocks on space ships and what not. I still don't get it.

Say I get in my spaceship, The USS Blowme, and take off at c, the speed of light, and travel for 1 year. I should have traveled one light year. For you here on Earth the theory of relativity states that a greater amount of time has passed, lettuce call it 10 years.

From your perspective I should have traveled 10 light years.

But in the USS Blowme I've only went 1 light year.

Or does your time apply to me and I've traveled 10 light years? In one year, which would make my speed 10c? Which means I've passed the universal speed limit of c.

See what I'm getting at here?

Has this paradox been addressed by the the so-called scientists?

The way I look at this there is a major flaw in the theory of relativity.

What gives?

What you're referring to is commonly called the twins paradox.

Relativity is not exactly a intuitive thing. The point you are missing is in relativity, not all observers are created equal. Its explained far better in the twins paradox page I've linked to then I could possibly hope to explain myself. It all has to do with who is under acceleration - acceleration puts you into an "inferior" reference frame.

Long story short, for the person on the space ship traveling near C it will seem to take less than a year to travel 1 light-year, while for an outside observer it will appear that the ship takes a year to go one light year.

Ah, wikipedia, what a virus laden Hell hole that place is, might as well link me to barnyard porn sites with down loadable "games" and "click here for a free prize" icons.

But I searched the twin paradox and I see it's just the name of what I've seen all these years.

You're telling me, but what I'm striving for here is to understand it intuitively and then splain it in simple terms.

Right. My problem is me in my ship going balls and "seems".

If the clock in the good USS Blowme says I've been on board for, say, 1/2 a year and I've traveled light year that would seem to me that I've been going at 2c.

Which would to me invalidate the concept of c being the universal speed limit.

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that either there is a problem with relativity or the idea that c is a speed limit. I can't see both holding true.

I do believe I'm starting to warm up to you kids.

Listen, I need a 360 degree dispersal map of all these super novas that we use to determine that the universe (visible universe I say, visible) is expanding. You know, which directions they are and how much they are red shifted.

I figured maybe I go go to a big science type site with lots of interesting, intelligent folks who know their bidness.

But I came here instead.

Does anyone know where to find a map such as this?
