Space-Time: The Bopdie Twins: If Space is Expanding Isn't Time Expandin Too?

Space-Time: The Bopdie Twins: If Space is Expanding Isn't Time Expandin Too?
It seems like an obvious conclusion. Maybe. Could the acceleration be a difference in time as well as space?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

That's probably why it would take more light years to travel further than closer.

My head says no, but that can't be trusted. Help Alex.

Since spacetime is one thing, I say yes!

We don't see discontinuities in how fast supernovae erupt, for instance, even at great distances. So time 'works' normally everywhere we've looked so far.

Now that's a subtle topjc.

One of the many weird aspects of Einstein's General Relativity theory is that spacetime can be represented by vastly different coordinates. If one expresses spacetime using a so-called conformal time coordinate, time appears to be streteched along with space. That's not an observable effect and hence just convention. When we use physical processes within the universe such as atomic vibrations to obtain a time base, that's simply what we call the time. This notion of time by definition proceeds in a uniform fashion, and there's nothing we could compare it against to say that, really, time has stretched rather than or along with space.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

. . . and our universe might be 'leaking' time into n-dimensional branes . . .

Vorls, we are the leak from another dimension!

Species 8472 have done a deal with the Borg and are on their way to reclaim it....

Don't insure anything beyond 3 months!
