It's a network, not a node. A process, not a thing.

Processes create things. Even the supposed singular universe idea has broken out into proposing multiverses.

Hi Bud,

It's brodix again.

My wordpress account has been acting up again and even texted Stacy Mcgaugh about it, but he just said re-post. It's a very old account and I can't seem to escape it, other than resetting the password, so just letting you know I haven't intentionally left you to confront the true believers.

This was the reply to Apass I tried to post;

Apass,

I think we should also examine the logic underlaying the theory.

The basic premise of relativistic spacetime, is that both the clock and the ruler dilate equally in a moving frame, so the speed of light is always measured as C.

If they instead go in opposite directions, the clock to zero and the ruler to infinity, there is no longer one metric, the speed of light, but two, speed and spectrum.

Given they must be related, since they are both based on the same light, the question is as to which is the denominator and which is the numerator.

If the speed of light were the numerator, then we would have some form of "tired light" theory. Yet we have this "expanding space" theory and consequently the speed is implicitly being treated as the denominator.

I realize this relationship is ignored and supposedly space just expands faster than light can travel across it, but there is still this underlaying metric of space, defined by light speed.

As Einstein said, "Space is what you measure with a ruler." And the ruler being used to measure the expansion is still the speed of light. Wishing it away doesn't change that.

It's like, "We have a great theory, but it only works if 1+1=5, so let's just make 1+1=5 an axiom and not question it.”
