Paramdeep Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 As relativity describes the beautiful relationship between space and time. Time flows, so does space. Dark energy is responsible for the expansion of space. So I concluded that dark energy should also be responsible for time to flow. Is that a good idea?

ajb Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 What do you mean by the flow of time? Coordinate time or the proper time as measured by an observer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajb Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The problem is that in general relativity we deal with a fixed space-time. It is four dimensional and given. Nothing can 'flow as such'. What you can do is split the space-time into space and time, but not canonically or usually globally. You can then consider the evolution of space in terms of time. You could I suppose pick on of the space directions and describe evolution of the other directions in terms of that, again this would be noncanonical. I don't quite see what you are saying. p.s. This thread is in the wrong section. One of the moderators will move it shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstream theory does not generally attribute the expansion of space to dark energy, only the accelerated expansion of space. Of course you could say that time flows, but the flow of space is not usually accepted or considered the expansion of space. So your idea seems unrelated to present day theory, or interpretations of it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agent x Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) dark energy is around time. its like the insulation on a wire. or the other way around. does anyone get what i am saying. please help me figure this out. i am just trying to bring a new view into the subject Edited June 13, 2015 by agent x -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
