Oshan,

Or maybe the cosmologists are faking it. Keep in mind the principle of falsifiability doesn’t apply to cosmology, because whenever there is a gap between theory and observation, it is treated as evidence of some enormous, otherwise invisible force of nature and the rest of society blithely assumes they must know what they are talking about. What if accountants operated in this fashion and every time they found a gap in the books, they wrote in the necessary figure and called it “Dark Money?”

One of the original patches was when they discovered the cosmic redshift increases equally in all directions and changed it from an expansion in space, to an expansion of space, because Spacetime! Completely ignoring the premise that the speed of light is measured as a Constant, in all frames. If it is redshifted, obviously it isn’t Constant to this intergalactic space. Two metrics of space are being assumed, from the same intergalactic light. One, based on the spectrum, that expands and one, based on the speed, that doesn’t.

Now we are at the center of our view of the cosmos, so an optical explanation might seem logical. It has been shown that multispectrum light “packets” do redshift over distance, as the higher spectrums dissipate faster than the lower spectrums, but this would mean that what we see are samplings of a wave front, not individual, single spectrum photons traveling billions of lightyears.

Which would go against the premise that reality is fundamentally digital, not analog. Information, not energy. As our thought process is one of definition, obviously reality is fundametnally information.

The problem with spacetime is that time is not so much the point of the present, moving past to future, codified as measures of duration and correlated with measures of distance, but change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Duration is this physical state, as events coalesce and dissolve.

There can be no physical dimension of time, because the present consumes the past, in order to be informed by it. Aka, causality and conservation of energy.

Different clocks run at different rates, because they are separate actions. Think frequencies and metabolism.

Time is an effect, like temperature, pressure, color, etc. We could use ideal gas laws to correlate volume with temperature and pressure, but that doesn’t make them the 5th and 6th dimensions of space.

Which leaves space. Three dimensions are really just the xyz coordinate system and are a mapping device, like longitude, latitude and altitude.

It we remove all physical and informational properties from space, it still has the non-physical qualities of infinity and equalibrium. Infinity because there is nothing to bound it and equilibrium is implicit in GR, as the frame with the longest ruler and fastest clock is closest to this equilibrium of the void. The absolute zero of the vaccum. So space is both the infinite and absolute.

The properties which fill it are energy and form/mass. Energy expands to infinity and even if it is redshifted to zero, this process creates a horizon line, as visible light is shifted into the infrared, explaining the cosmic background radiation flowing in from the edges of the visible universe.

Then there is the structure of mass, coalescing into the black hole of gravity, of absolute equilibrium. So galaxies, the structures dominating the universe, are cosmic convection cycles, of feedback between energy expanding out and form coalescing in.

As mobile organic beings, we have the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems, processing the energy driving us on, along with a central nervous system to sort through the forms and information precipitating out of this process, in order to navigate ourselves and narrate our experiences. Motor and steering functions.

Waves of energy and thermodynamic feedback loops, all the way down.
