I gave you an example of something that is absolute in the universe along with examples of other terminology with similar (but not exactly the same) meaning. We have this different terms and meanings for very good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure all of you can think of many more yourselves. Is it enough to say " It is what it is."? The newest sciences are seeking to reach an understanding of this framework, it must be ultimately simple... I am making some assumptions, time and space are infinite for one. But you have provided no information about this framework, or how this idea can be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "absolute" my meaning is simple, the realm of this universe is absolute, if a quantity in this realm does not approach infinity it approaches zero. Try plotting the path of y=1/x^2 with x having limits of infinity. You should get a right angle . This is because any quantity less than infinity approaches zero, ergo with limits of infinity... y=1/x^2 has the same meaning as "As x approaches zero y approaches infinity.".

Apart from being trivially disproved, that is a bizarre definition of "absolute". You could have chosen a more appropriate word to describe this concept. Pineapple, for example.

How else does math work, if constants don't stay constant? The only math in the absolute universe is zero and infinity, the math we are familiar with applies to the relative universe. Perhaps you begin to understand my use of the term "absolute"? Try plotting the path with limits of x= 13.7 billion years to x=150 msec. Now math works and the path becomes a hyperbolic curve. I believe it is best for you to discern the following on your own, then I can be sure we have the same understanding... If x is time and y is space, what then does this curve represent? I will get back as soon as I can, thanks for following. Edited October 21, 2017 by Butch Elaboration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I will give it a shot, the path is a hyperbolic curve, it represents acceleration, being that it is a function of space v time, it represents an accelerating expansion of space over time. We are a part of this expansion, it is not evidenced in the relative universe. The universe you witnessed 1 Ms ago has approached zero... It no longer exists. The universe you will witness 1 Ms from now is approaching infinity. The test: Take the case of the photon, the energy of a photon is defined in the relative universe as a function of its wavelength, if the absolute universe is constantly expanding into existence, the photon would be accelerating with the expansion... For the photon to maintain the same relative energy in the relative universe, it would have to be redshifted. The redshift of a photon then would be a function of its age. To test this we would need to observe an illuminated body at a known static distance and determine if there is a red shift. I have to leave you for now and will return with the math to more succinctly describe this, the math gets a little strange because we are transcribing the absolute to the relative but I think I have my mind around this enough to accomplish it. Thanks again to all of you. 21 minutes ago, studiot said: I was wondering If you catch a drunk Tunafish, can you get drunk by eating it? Probably, we would need to test that hypothesis.

Apparently not: https://what-if.xkcd.com/98/ To understand the math for this hypothesis, we need to get our head around a couple of concepts: 1) In the absolute model of the universe at T-n Space approaches zero, the velocity of photon would approach zero and its wavelength would approach zero. As T approaches 0 Space approaches infinity, the velocity of a hot on approaches infinity and its wavelength approaches infinity. 2) It is neural delay that produces the illusion of time and space co-existing and hence the "illusion" of reality. This is represented by the curve I discussed previously. The task then is to produce the math that marries the two models, absolute and relative... In the case of the photon, we need the math to map the redshift at points between T approaches zero and T approaches infinity. Do you follow me so far? I do apologise if it seems I am taking this to a 3rd grade level, I mean no disrespect. It is a very mind bending concept.

It isn't by current evidence. I'm not sure what you mean by "withoutHubble" but once you factor out the expansion of the universe, there is no change in frequency with age. So your hypothesis is falsified.

Hubble is based upon the red shift caused by bodies that are receding, since we are seeking to measure redshift caused by the age of a photon this would modify Hubble, hence it cannot be used to determine the distance to a body being used for the test of the hypothesis. If you truly do not understand those terms at this point, you never will, however I believe you are able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the function that relates age to red-shift? Without that, your suggestion is untestable. Sorry, but you need to do some math. 59 minutes ago, Butch said: Hubble is based upon the red shift caused by bodies that are receding, since we are seeking to measure redshift caused by the age of a photon this would modify Hubble, hence it cannot be used to determine the distance to a body being used for the test of the hypothesis. Nonsense. There are multiple independent ways of measuring the distance of objects and the associated red-shift. There are also other ways of measuring the Hubble constant, that have nothing to do with red-shift. The recent gravitational wave detection also confirms the value of the Hubble constant. Therefore, we can account for the Hubble factor and measure any redshift that is purely due to the age of the photons. There isn't any. Your proposal would also violate conservation of energy.
