When I read this, it seems to me like this is more or less the same as saying that the speed of light is decreasing, but I am probably wrong?

- jhoechtl 4y agoIs this something anybody ever thought out to look at things this way? Sounds like an intriguing Gedankenexperiment
- eigenket 4y agoYeah, ideas like this are usually called "tired light" models, they have been extensively explored for the last hundred years or so. A lot of these models have been shown to be false by experiments, but I guess if you try you can probably cook up models which haven't been falsified by anything yet.
- dpkirchner 4y agoLike if you calculated the speed not in meters per second but fraction-of-the-universe per second?
- cout 4y agoWhat if space isn't expanding and we are just shrinking?
- make3 4y agoonly if the expansion is really equal everywhere I guess
