the universe was 10^-35 meters a fraction of a second after the big bang, but isn't that a relative size? Relative to our current space/time reference frame? Time ran slower back then but if you were there you wouldn't know it, isn't it the same for space as well? isn't space static but we see it through a changing lorentz factor?

z = γ (1 + v/c) -1
we don't really know the velocity, its inferred by the redshift observation.
we do have the cosmic ladder so we have a better grasp on distance.
if redshift is proportional to distance can we not substitute distance for velocity?
we can do away with the inferred velocity its not necessary nor accurate, because it's not really a velocity.
A velocity infers a direction of movement. but with expansion no two locations will agree on its vector direction.

You seem to be differentiating between recessional speed due to expansion and a velocity through space in the context of 'Lorentz' i.e. for example, the reference to energy required. It would seem that, as no energy is involved in travelling through space to achieve the recessional speed of a galaxy (as a result of the expansion of the universe), the relevance of Lorentz is in doubt.

Your point about substituting distance for velocity is IMO appropriate depending on the context. I don't see why the direction of movement is important nor understand your comment that time ran slower 'back then'

But anyway maybe someone with more competence mathematically than I might comment
Also where are you going with this?:)

a random fluctuation created a gravity wave
the wave carried away energy
Therefor energy of the past was greater than the energy now.
a lorentz transformation is required to scale the past to the present or else we get this distorted view that looks like expansion.
 
Space expands equally everywhere, thus no one feels any acceleration due to it, thus it is an inertial reference frame. The amount of expansion is very small. On the scale of the Solar System, the Sun gets about 1 meter further away from us every year due to it.
 
An infinitely dense holography of SPACETIME photonic photo-frame holograms equals infinite zero. The grand total of mass matter and mass energy of the cosmopolis then equals zero (((+1) (-1)) = 1/0)). Always inertialessly freely dynamic rather than inert . . . yet, still, always being inertially inert in one dimension of it.
 
Space and time are inextricably linked. It takes time to get wherever you are going. This cannot be disputed. Thus they are linked. Any two things linked like this must be made of the same building blocks. Thus there is some "thing" that is both space and time. Class discuss quietly while I go to the teacher's lounge.

If space expands the same all over, I think one would have to classify that dynamic as an acceleration.

A continuous increase(growing) in the coordinate system. At the minimum, an area acceleration, but probably a volumetric acceleration.

I wonder if this expansion has a point of origin or maybe it blooms from all points of mass.

A growing space. What could it be consuming? Maybe light is giving it growth too.

No they aren't "inextricably linked", Bill. It takes time to get wherever you are going only because you can energetically contract SPACE . . . and that contracts the time -- as a SPACETIME 'Trojan' fourth dimension of SPACE. It doesn't work the other way around! They aren't a singularity!
 
Class! Come to order. Did I hear someone using all CAPS!! tsk tsk The only "t=0" around here is how long my cigarette breaks seem!
Wrong again, Bill. Too bad, so sad! The 'Infinite MULTIVERSE Universe (U)' is a Universe of all time divided into all times plural . . . mutually canceling to "t=0" for the Universe (U) and an entangled, entangling, concurrent (t=0) REALTIME NOW (t=0) instant moment of immediate universes (u)!

Every traveler traveling ascends in time to every destination located in the future histories (t=-1) SPACETIME, accelerating contraction of the local-relative universe (u) via a solitary-soliton bubble-wave before relative renormalization! Now where does that accelerating ascension in time, the ascensions all always being "spooky actions at a distance", leave every distant observer at all possible distances?! Answer! "Time dilated" into past histories (t=+1) SPACETIME, the same as they observe the "observable universe" (the past histories (t=+1) SPACETIME), including all observed and observable travelers in it!

So, (0-point) REALTIME NOW traveler to (0-point) REALTIME NOW observer entangles (t=0) to (t=0) REALTIME NOW, concurrently existing unobserved and unobservable in a dark universe of future histories (t=-1) SPACETIME (as opposed to the observed and "observable universe" of past histories (t=+1) SPACETIME)!!!!

I'm telling it like it is, Bill. So, too bad, so sad, wrong again, Bill!

Seventy-plus years of interest and study, plus being an "intuitive visual mathematician," I major in past-future histories ((t=+1) (t=-1)) SPACETIME, Bill!

You are one of the few I hate having any disagreement with!

isn't that what dark energy is? If no energy is involved in travelling through space to achieve the recessional speed of a galaxy, why are we still looking for it?

1916 Albert Einstein ''discovered'' space-time and this was widely accepted . As a consequence of this in 1927 Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître wrote the Big Bang Theory based on available information and concensus . The Big Bang Theory was then accepted by the scientific community and the Church as being the beginning . This allowed science to have their say but also kept God ''in the frame'', George being a Catholic Priest and a part of Vatican Astronomy Science .

I am struggling to find on the internet an original read of Georges work but I do not believe that he meant before the Big Bang there was nothing , this including space. I beleive he meant there was no things , such as matter .

What this implies is that before the Big Big there was pre-existing space and as Newton explained prior , an immovable space . This implication would then satisfy physical application because in Physics , any thing that expands requires pre-existing space to expand into .

So in answer to your question , the underlying space is immovable !

A hint : Try to avoid the use of the word ''static'' when discussing immovable because ''static'' is relative to Electrical charge .

The Space-Time metric expansion is relative to space . Space-time is dynamic in measure ,where space is a constant measure !

(x0,x1,x2,..........x^n,) Any (x,y,z,) can be measured within (x^n,y^n,z^n,)

Space being n-dimensional !

Space-Time being (x,y,z,)

Space is xyz Spacetime is xyzc
Minowski coordinate space is (x,y,z,)

Space-Time is (x,y,z,t,) the t representing the dimension of time.

The only difference is that Einstein added an ''overlay'' to space and called this Space-Time .

Minowski space is more a scalar space than a vector space . Minowski space doesn't curve or have magnitude as I recall !

A lot of people don't understand the concept of time because time has a few meanings . In physics , real time is some thing that exists . Every thing that occupies space can be considered time and ages relative to space .

In example you are born , you age relative to space that doesn't age . Space is always the 0 point !

If you curve Space-Time you don't alter time or journey time but time can speed up or slow down .This is where it gets confusing for most !
 
Wouldn’t the coordinate have to have 3 axis in the same time in order to exist? In order to preform the function of a coordinate.

So dimension would seem to be square for the coordinate system. Square in time.

If one of the axis got out of time, we wouldn’t have a point, we would have a line. A shaded line. A density line.

If all three were out of time we would have a plane triangle. With a rarefied center. Not a dark dot.

A terrible place to navigate in.

The problem with spatial coordinates is because the Earth moves , no spatial coordinate is ever the same . A fixed coordinate system relative to the Earth that moves with the Earth has multiple axis , additionally different view points due to the Earths curvature . If you was in America for example and I in Europe , we view things from different angles .

Of course, this is correct. Hermann Minkowski (you forgot the 'k') said "...space by itself and time by itself are doomed.....and only a union..... will preserve an independent reality". He clearly understood and agreed with spacetime as Einstein described it.

It would be best if you had some revision. Minkowski space is a 4-dimensional vector space, including scalar measurements such as time and distance.

You say most people are confused about time as a subject. If you wish to have a go at a discussion of time then start a new thread and we can argue it through. It could be fun and you might enjoy it.

I stand corrected on Minkowski , thanks for confirming Einstein was a fake and stole peoples work ! Reminds me of somebody else too , present science .
