Meaning of Hubble constant and Big Bang

Hi Forum members,

Someone wanted me to write on the Big Bang. I found 4 different ways to show that the problem of the Big-bang was how to interpret the meaning of the Hubble constant. All of them agreed which lends credibility.

The result was that the big-bang interpretation is wrong and instead the Hubble distance should be interpreted as the maximum distance we can see into an infinite universe.

If you think about it, this causes a red-shift with distance, because distant matter shares less of a common universe, thus less wave interactions, thus less energy exchange (which we see as a red-shift with distance).

I can send the (long) article to those who want to read it.

Cosmos,
Milo

Hey Milo,
It was so nice to see you post at our WSM Forum. Good on ya! It cheered my heart.
I think of you every day, and lament the suffering of old age that you bear so stoically.
And what a great concise summary of the correct interpretation of redshift with distance.
I would just add that if we define universe as matter that we can see and interact with (where other matter's out-waves form our matter's in-waves) then it is best to write that Space is Infinite, we exist in a finite spherical universe within Infinite Space.
As you know (since you deduced this), this not only explains redshift with distance, but also explains Mach's Principle (mass of a body is determined by all other matter in finite spherical universe within infinite space).

Just a quick reply - great to have you here!!
Cosmos,
Geoff

Hello All

I did not know that there is a Max distance that we can see.

Where can I look this up.

As for the Big Bang, a theory with ad hoc ideas.
