gre Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Are there any theories out there that relate 'time' (and maybe gravity as well) to the rate of the expansion of the universe? Edited May 11, 2009 by gre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darshanchande Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Read the theories of relativity by Einstein. He explains universe in the form of space-time and says there is no such force as gravity. Gravity is a product of space-time. You will understand better when you read the theories: General and special theory of relativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elas Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 'Three roads to Quantum Gravity' by Lee Smolin has in its prologue, a clear explanation of the professional view of space and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombus Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Are there any theories out there that relate 'time' (and maybe gravity as well) to the rate of the expansion of the universe? Yes.

Klaynos Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Are there any theories out there that relate 'time' (and maybe gravity as well) to the rate of the expansion of the universe? Yes there is, as mentioned above, space-time is nicely related in general relativity. The expansion of the universe can also be included in that, but as the expansion rate is increasing it is clear we are missing some bit of physics... Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedYes. Soundly criticized on this forum - perhaps too rashly? http://www.timephysics.com/ If it was too rashly you would have been able to defend is suitably well.

swansont Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Are there any theories out there that relate 'time' (and maybe gravity as well) to the rate of the expansion of the universe? If you are soliciting alternative explanations this should be asked in the Speculations forum. Otherwise, the responses should reflect mainstream physics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the theory my link leads to can be discussed in speculations and pseudo-science, but this is a perfectly valid place to ask the question. I don't appreciate the warning I recieved either. My answer was strictly ON TOPIC!!! Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedYes there is, as mentioned above, space-time is nicely related in general relativity.
