its been such a long time since i gave the topic any thought at all. graduation, woman, work etc etc.
anyway i wanted to point out some flaws in my reasonings. dont mind the grammar or the punctuations.
taking the model of the 4D.... cubes inside cubes inside cubes. for that model to be correct, one cube will have to be smaller than the next one n so on. that will render the system we r considering as infinite in mass. it is just expanding with time, one slice at a time...
if we take universe as a system, then according to thermodynamics, any system, without external influence always contains the same amount of matter and energy. then if universe,i.e., our system IS expanding then the matter and energy contained is progressively getting less dense with time. what, then, fills the rest of the space ? we call it dark matter ? ether ? what is it ?
now scientists have said the universe is expanding at the speed of light ( that is a fact ). that means, the speed at which time travels is equal to the speed of light ?
let us take an example. sunrays take 8 minutes to reach earth. therefore, the first person who sees the first light of the sun on earth says " its sunrise"... but it is actually 8 minutes in the PAST that he is watching. what does it mean ?
i gather it would mean that our sense time IS, in fact, relative as Einstein theorized in general relativity. there are no absolutes.
the flaw lies here in the fact that, were there no observers, this relativity of time will have no purpose. but nature always has a purpose. there is nothing around us, which is not needed. then why does this time lag exists ? what is the purpose of time ?
whenever i look up at the stars, i marvel at the stories they can tell us :)
