Daniel, Bill, Eduardo and Amaranth, others?;

Daniel, you originally said, while throwing down the gauntlet to anyman,

Why don't you explain how it is that we can see quasars more than 6 billion light years away.

I responded:

Daniel, it all goes along with the "Cosmic Apple" theory that I've postulated twice over the past two years with no adequate response from you. The "juice" (Time, light) permeates the whole apple....

That's all. You asked how it could be, and I reposted my speculation about how a thought-image like a Cosmic(-sized) Apple would have all its properties at once, including Time. I do not propose an "old-looking" universe, that's not within the parameters of EITHER the question nor my response. It's an extension of the question, but it's not within the question as you asked it, and as I responded. That's a separate issue.

Now, once again, my question to youns all:

Wouldn't the juice (the parallel that I use for Light/Time) in this imaginary apple exist all at once? So that an imaginary worm in the apple (don't take that personally, any of you), able to view the juice across the distance of the apple, tend to conclude that it was 6 bn. light-years old?

Don't let your minds run wild with other questions, just respond to this thought-experiment proposed as a plausible answer to Daniel's orininal challege.

(I'm not saying that this model is precisely so, but if we are to be open-minded and value-free in our Science, this proposal needs to be addressed objectively. I just believe at this point that it could answer Daniel's original challenge.)
