This gravity determines our perception of distance and time. There is no place in the universe that is free of gravity Are we saying the same thing here? (from a recent post of mine on another forum) https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=83313.0 I asked there whether the global gravity field may have originated around the time of the BB and has been gradually metamorphosing ever since.

I think we are saying the same thing. I understand the evolution of the universe as a several billion year emergence from a gravity well with the BB at the very bottom.

This means that the red shift in the spectra of galaxies has not only a Doppler component, but also a gravitational one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metric which describes large-scale spacetime of the universe does not resemble a ‘gravity well’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would denote a centre, would it not? So obviously invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
