It really has; thanks for clearing some of the ideas up for me. It has certainly given me a more informed outlook...

To clear things up a little; I was referring to a reference point affixed, if you will, to a region of spacetime itself. Weather such a thing is possible I am not sure. If this could be done, however, it is my understanding that time on a rapidly moving object would pass slower than time on that...

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Garth. I was unaware of the attraction provided by the pressure; and yes, it is counterintuitive. Recent work done in Spain provides yet another view of expansion, however. The head researcher suggested that the observed acceleration simply results from time...

Sure, time on Earth would slow relative to something not moving nearly so fast...though my point was not to illustrate the [incorrect] fact that we would notice things slowing down, but to point out that as time dilated on Earth, there would be more of a chance of quantum 'weirdness,' since...

Something has recently occurred to me which I think I should mention here. Boltzmann brains have a definite probability of "popping up" anywhere in the universe as fully formed, sentient beings. Although the odds against such a thing happening are astronomical, there is a probability which can...

In response to the last post; you are correct in saying there would be acceleration, but what Wallace is saying is that the pressure would only provide an acceleration value which becomes lower over time. As you said yourself, a = f / m, so if the force becomes lower because of the decreased...
