PLEASE SOMEBODY REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL
THIS IS THE ONLY WEB PAGE I HAVE FOUND
TO WRITE MY THOUGHTS ON…..
WE ARE TOLD THAT THE UNIVERSE IS NOT JUST EXPANDING, BUT ACCELERATING, THIS IS SHOWN IN THE RED SHIFT SPECTRUM.
THE FURTHER WE LOOK BACK IN TIME TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE THE FASTER THE ACCELERATION SEEMS TO BE.
CONSIDER THIS, MAYBE THE UNIVERSE IS NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL. MAYBE THE UNIVERSE IS AT A CONSTANT RATE,(DISPITE RED SHIFT) DON’T FORGET WE ARE LOOKING BACK IN TIME SOME 14 BILLION YEARS OR SO. MAYBE THE UNIVERSE WAS MOVING FASTER THEN, AFTER ALL THIS WAS JUST AFTER THE BIG BANG.
CONSIDER THIS, IF THE UNIVERSE IS ACCELERATING THEN OUR OWN GALAXY WILL ALSO LOOK AS IF IT IS EXPANDING THROUGH A HUBBLE TELESCOPE FROM THE EDGE OF OUR UNIVERSE, BUT IF THAT IS TRUE WE WOULD FEEL THIS ACCELERATING ON EARTH, THE SAME AS YOU WOULD BE DRIVING A CAR AT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN ACCELERATE TO 60 MILES AN HOUR.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT….
IF WE DETECT RED OR BLUE SHIFT FROM A DISTANT GALAXY WOULD I BE CORRECT IN SAYING ONE SIDE OF THE GALAXY WOULD BE A DEEPER COLOUR THAN THE OTHER DUE TO THE VERY HIGH ROTATION SPEED, MEANING PART OF THE GALAXY WOULD BE ROTATING TOWARDS US AND THE OTHER HALF ROTATING AWAY?
PLEASE SOMEBODY IN THE KNOW PUT ME RIGHT ON THIS
