Questions about Time, Distance, and Relativity
#15
RE: Questions about Time, Distance, and Relativity
Also, when they speak of the CMBR being observable in every direction that our telescopes point, I visualize it similarly to the "waves" of a smoke ring that dispense outward from the center of an explosion (as in the big bang, time, space, and matter expanding from the Singularity). Have I gotten this wrong? Is there a better way to visualize it?
