RE: Simple Question #3 - How big is the Universe? What is its Shape?
Great post! I have a single remark. Actually, nothing is going faster than light, but if you exchange information (at the speed of light) modula the fact that the universe is expanding, you will have the impression that it expands faster than light.
PS: I didn't know Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson wrote a book :)
Yeah, the space once expanded even faster than light at the time of Big Bang (if the theory is correct).
But now it has probably slowed down and is expanding due to dark energy.
And yes We Have No Idea is a great book and provides some food to this curious mind. :D :p
That is not correct: nothing goes faster than light. That is the golden rule. That is also what the big bang theory says. What we see is an effective speed that contains two component: information (or light) travel and expansion. As a result, we have the impression that it expands faster than light.
The Speed of Light is not what you think it is, im actually gonna make a post on this :D thanks for the inspiration :)
Well, the speed of light is a very well defined quantity. How could it be differently?
Yes it is, but beyond this dimension it isn't. Light itself takes on different qualities as it breaks through dimensions. and even realities.
You can't think of light as an object its consciousness it changes and it addapts to the circumstances.
That is not correct. The speed of light stays the speed of light in any higher-dimensional model I know of.
Not what I experienced when entering higher dimensional fields. It changes constantly.
Ahhh you got there... Okay I missed this point :)
