If this temporal expansion or contraction produces redshift in the exact same way, and you can fit it into Relativity with the appropriate math, well, six of one, half a dozen of the other — until such point as we understand some discrete mechanism underlying the operation of the universe that would be affected by the expansion of one rather than the other: minimum time steps, minimum distances, proceeding from individual bits, increments of information. (Such a thing is theorized, but observing it is on no one's radar today, so good luck.) (If it doesn't fit, then it's just wrong.)

If this is an accurate conceptual model: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/What_is_red_shift https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/What_i... I have this odd notion that the universe has stayed the same "size" (since inception) and that the parameters of the universe and the amount of matter/information has changed over time. The impression we get (from our perspective) is that of an initial singularity, a period of hyper inflation, and then the expansion we have now. Probably bollocks but I'd like to know why it's bollocks.
