    B Distance traveled by light accounting for expansion

    Suppose light travels during a time interval of t2 - t1, where the scale factors at t1 and t2 are a(t1) and a(t2) respectively. If we consider an infinitesimally small interval of time dt during this interval, without accounting for expansion we would expect light to travel a distance cdt. How...

    B Accounting for the constant speed of light

    I keep hearing that the relative speed of light remains constant because time and lengths change with speed, what I believe is called the Lorentz factor. At slow speeds the Lorentz factor is extremely small, so what do people believe accounts for the rest of the change? If I travel...

    Accounting for time passed in our observation of the universe

    Greetings - We speak of astronomical objects as being x number of light years away, which is also a statement about the age of the data. So our knowledge of M83, for example, is about 15 million years old, etc, etc. I'm just wondering why there never seems to be any attempt to move this...

    Is accounting and finance easier than Physics?

    I used to like physics, until I did a bachelors in it. In my final year now (at a Top 20 university in the world) and even though I am currently passing with a reasonably good grade, I still don't know what I am doing. I still sit clueless in lectures, even after 3 whole years. I never...
