Expansion Theory


Abstract

This theory proposes that it is possible that the Terran Solar System is older than the center of the universe. Applying the idea of a universe that expanded to what it is now from the Big Bang Theory and the idea that time moves more slowly with larger amounts of gravity from the Theory of Relativity allows this theory to hold true. In this paper, the term "center of the universe" will be the location of the beginning of the universe. According to our knowledge, the universe is infinite, thus making every point in the universe the center. However, for purposes of this argument, “center of the universe” will apply to the point of origin of the universe.

Two Assumptions

First assume that the universe began according to the big bang theory and it is still expanding. Also, assume that our galaxy is not near the center of the universe from where which the big bang started, but rather it is on an outer edge. Thus, this establishes the basis of the theory as that the Milky Way galaxy is moving away from the center of the universe but is not at the center.

The Theory

According to the Theory of Relativity, the more mass an area has, the slower time moves. Following up this theory, the Big Bang Theory states that matter accelerated outwards, causing the universe to expand. The theory branches off to say that the expansion of the universe could still be accelerating or its acceleration could be slowing. Whether the universe is expanding fast or slow is irrelevant. It is also irrelevant whether the universe is still expanding or it is now collapsing. The basis of this theory is that the universe expanded in the beginning, causing matter to spread from the center at an accelerated rate. Matter expanding from a central core, even if it explodes, leaves a large amount of matter in the center. Matter which remains in the center insures the possibility of mass recollecting. When celestial bodies collect matter their gravity increases. This would imply that the center of the universe has more gravity than the edge of the universe because the center has more mass than the edge.

Because our galaxy, specifically our solar system, has less gravity than the center of the universe, time is passing faster on Earth than at the center of the universe. This assumption holds true according to the Theory of Relativity. Now, if time is passing faster on Earth than at the center of the universe, then the center of the universe is younger than the Earth.

Re: Expansion Theory


You mention at the top that "According to our knowledge, the universe is infinite, thus making every point in the universe the center" which I can more or less agree with. But from there on in, you seem to forget this point. Specifically, you write:


Matter expanding from a central core, even if it explodes, leaves a large amount of matter in the center. Matter which remains in the center insures the possibility of mass recollecting.



The trouble is, you're thinking in terms of an explosion. Despite the name "big bang", scientists do NOT believe the universe actually exploded from one point. Instead they use the term "expansion", which has somewhat different properties. In expansion, every point moves away from every other point. As such, there is no more collection of matter in the "center" of the universe than there is anywhere else. This makes your argument about mass (and thus the passage of time) invalid, I'm afraid. :(

Interesting thought, though. If it could be proven that the Earth / Solar System / Galaxy was a relatively "light" region, then this may well be true.

Re: Expansion Theory



In expansion, every point moves away from every other point.



You are absolutely correct; however, how are they moving away from one another? They move away from one another by acceleration (the same way cars move away from each other at a traffic light). We know the universe is accelerating because of redshift. Now, think about this analogy: If you are accelerating after a traffic light turns green, where are most of the cars after 2 seconds? If there is a lof of traffic (matter), most of the cars will still be behind the traffic light and barely rolling. Some may even be completely stopped still. The universe is expanding in this same sense.

Whether something is an explosion or an "expansion", it is still acceleration (just at vastly different rates).

Re: Expansion Theory


Your analogy doesn't hold. In your analogy, you have a FIXED reference point -- the stop light -- that you're using to say how near or far things are. But in the expansion of the universe, there ARE no fixed points: even the "stop lights" are expanding.

Also remember that in the expansion of the universe problem, there are as many "cars" ahead of you as behind. A better analogy would be to imagine and infinte string of cars moving down a one-lane highway, each the same distance from each other and going the same speed.

The expansion of the universe would be what would happen if, every hour, an additional kilometer of road just APPEARED between each car. From your view behind the wheel, you would appear to get farther and farther from EVERY car, not because the cars changed speed, but because the distance actually DID change (thus changing your PERCIEVED speed of the other cars). The cars will get farther from you, even though relative to the road (ie: local space), they haven't changed speeds at all.

It's still not a very good analogy, since there's nothing in everyday life that acts in the same way the expansion of the universe does. The classic example is actually that of a balloon (or bread rising). Take a balloon and draw a bunch of dots on the surface with a marker. Now blow into the balloon and watch the dots. Each gets farther away from every other dot, even though none of the dots are really moving, per se. What IS moving is "space" itself: the entire surface of the balloon is expanding. That's the big bang. Not an explosion, but the blowing up of an infinitessimal dot into an extremely large balloon.
