    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Yes, my day job alternates between micro processor design and computer game tech manager coder, so I am well use to doing things on limited hardware. My models are a mixture of MATLAB and assembler for performance. I originally wrote them for dark matter modeling, but assuming a coordinate...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Remember is do not own a super computer, and this is only my hobby modeling this stuff. So, if space is not expanding, that kills of dark energy straight away. With space not expanding, gas must still be falling out of the voids into the large scale structures, and formation of the large...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Sorry yes, I should say," appears broken as viewed from the reference frame" not "is broken". If you assume the universe is expanding and the viewpoint is not effected then no viewpoint correction is expected to be needed, but this is not so for a viewpoint that is shrinking. I just think...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    It is not just a change of coordinate systems! Just viewing the the universe from the Condensing Universe ref frame would be purely a coord system change. But by assuming the laws of physics work correctly in the TCU frame, and are therefore are broken in the BBT ref frame. You are...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Anyway, that reference frame does provide an interesting alternative cosmology, in which it is a bit easier to explain some observations that get very messy in BBT.

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    In the BBT ref frame galaxies move further apart as space expands. In the TCU ref frame galaxies stay the same distance apart but slowly shrink. If you put a fixed size box around the nearest 1000 galaxies (size fixed in coord system of that ref frame) In BBT the galaxies expand out of the...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    It does not change physics, but the two reference frames or coordinate systems are accelerating/expanding relative to each other. An object moving at constant velocity in one is accelerating in the other ref frame. If you assume the TCU reference frame is the correct one for the laws of...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Mostly just as a fun hobby. But this case is very interesting, most alternate cosmologies you can kill off almost instantly they just don't match observation. I have looked at loads of them. This one is very hard to break. It gives a very different view of a universe that matches raw...

    Time dilation & the first galaxies

    Yes, that's better thanks. I was forgetting about light travel distance, and that it is only our view that is time dilated. Too much time playing with alternate cosmologies with more literal forms of time dilation.

    Time dilation & the first galaxies

    As far as I understand, time dilation corresponding to redshift has been confirmed for distant supernova. However, galaxies are being detected only 480 million years after the bigbang at redshifts of around 10 or more. Does this mean they took less than 45 million years to form in real time?

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    Indeed one of my favourite alternative cosmologies "Condensing universe" has something very close the comoving distance as the absolute distance. ie space not expanding. It does look a bit nasty because it assume a reference frame for physics where matter is shrinking at a bit more than 6% a...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    The concept of expansion implies a reference frame for a coordinate system in which space is expanding against some unit of measurement. BBT choose to measure the universe against the locally experienced human reference frame. The metric expansion of space offers an infinit number of possible...

    How can we measure time before the Big Bang?

    BBT cosmology uses human scale or matter as the reference frame. So space is expanding relative to us. Personally, I think that choice of reference frame may be flawed, and a slight bending of the cosmological principle.
