Story of universe : is it possible? Would appreciate your response

from the self-post dept.

As I was thinking about Universe and read about the plank time concept - a thought started troubling me. Is possible that universe is still in its infancy. Is it possible that the core is still in early infancy while the periphery where we live in has aged? This way we still observe constellations and stars moving away from us which according to us is something which happened during the early stages of the universe.

What are your thoughts on this. Do you know of any text which I can refer to pursue more research on this subject.

That idea has been postulated, that the cosmological constant changes over large distances (which would affect our view of things over time).also, time itself may be something we interpret but might not play into the math of physics. I forget who wrote it but there was a paper showing the math works out better if you take time out if the equation. Scientific American magazine runs these kinds of stories, might be a good place to start

Hopefully somebody knowledgeable in these questions will speak up.

I am not knowledgeable. Here is where I might start if I had your questions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology Read the page and follow the links outward, according to your questions and interests.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Portals#Natura...

Good luck. Report back when you have an answer. :)
