| Re: Steady State need not mean 'static' universe. I'd have to get into unorthodox hypotheses to perhaps clearly express it, but essentially it's a return to old references to relativistic mass instead of rest mass. Based on some of the hypotheses regarding dark energy and kinetic energy as creating mass, matter is merely the result of those effects.
So with your expanding matter theory, I understood it in like terms where matter would actually increase due to the exponential spatial expansion which is beyond light speed. We would have both light and gravity at c, but virtual "particles" at greater than c moving backwards in time to create matter which moves at less than c. The proportionate aspect is that the matter would naturally increase continually the more the virtual particles increase in velocity.
I guess another way to put it is the equal reaction opposing increasing acceleration. The more accelaration is applied, the more energy is converted to matter to offset the effects of acceleration in order to keep the observable objects the same. Otherwise, I was thinking that the Earth, say, would not appear the way it does because space would increase and matter would be observed as becoming thinner and thinner which as far as we can tell is not the case.
Sorry if it's not expressed clearly. It's the best I could do. |
