Additionally, > light never changes is wrong. A photon has a momentum, which can increase or decrease as it travels through free space. Using general relativity, it's straightforward to define an affine time on a null geodesic (eve

No paper is guaranteed to be completely accurate and correct at the time of publication; the remedy for honest errors is follow-on papers by the original authors or others in the field putting their names to formalized counter-arguments. Th

Yes, during cosmic inflation for example: two test objects initially close can end up many light-years apart. If we make these test objects null (i.e., lightlike) then we can always contrive an inflation that stretches them apart in such

The problem is in allowing perturbations around effective w_{DE}=-1. The "phantom divide crossing" is the evolution of dark energy's effEOS across w = -1, the boundary between a quintessence regime (w > -1) and a phantom

Maybe you want to leaf through a copy of Birrell & Davies or Parker & Toms again. QFTCS is good in strong gravity, and is as good as anything else at transplanckian scale (which is to say there's presently no way of knowing wh

The relevant quantities are the curvature scalars near the horizon, and for a sizable black hole they are small there. As an example, consider the Kretschmann scalar (KS). The KS is the sum of the squares of all components of a tensor. In
