Pat,
If the densities remained the same, then the systems would get farther and farther away. Where exactly they would go is an altogether other matter, but if the material densities decreased proportionate to the exponential increase according to RP's explanation of matter expanding, the material would very quickly cease to remain prevalent. Which is why I don't think RP is suggesting the densities change, only "when compared" to other timeframes, which translates into an increase in density - the matter would have to increase to retain the proportionate value - whereby you do not notice a difference in your body getting larger and larger.
The microwaves being uniform is based on observations, but observations can be misleading which can lead to evidence being misinterpreted - in this case, to each their own I guess. There are other explanations that can explain the increase in wavelengths, as per my proposed continual creation process whereby redshifting due to virtual interactions results in the exact same vacuum density without any a priori considerations. It's not "there," but is made when light is slowed through gravitational time dilation.
For the void, I would say that the void - if absolute - would have to be devoid of volumetric space. Volumetric space would contain no things in it, but the presently accepted models are not suggestive of this state. It is space itself that expands into nonexistence, and you can verify this with any Cosmologist of the kind that has no time to consider questions about what is outside of it. It is a real problem that has been repeatedly ignored, primarily because it doesn't work - existence can't replace nonexistence and I think any honest scientist realizes this.  |
