I wanted to write a few words about space-time expansion, or the philosophy of. There is much description of various models for it, and paradigm criteria about what it is. It is a field with much prospect for conjecture and construction of hypothetical models as well as plain astrophysical observation and strict inference.
Time expands rather than passes. Time is a way of describing the relative positions of mass rather than of energy. Energy is always in motion whereas mass is not. When time changes because of the conversion of mass into energy partially it is the relationship of mass that has shifted with motion-even through radiation.
It is said that the space of the Universe is expanding however it is possible to differ even with observations based on astrophysics. Most likely space is simply nothing at all and it is more correctly a field within space that is expanding for some reason.
The Higgs field is a candidate for such a space-field that gives mass and energy particles an opportunity to exist phenomenally. As photons are emergent characteristics of electro-magnetic fields, mass and energy are emergent, entangled quantum characteristics of a Higgs field. The Higgs field is another ponderable field of unknown constitution.
So what are the potential shapes for fields within the nothingness of space that may be regarded as a Universe-field? It is conventional to use the bubble or empty sphere arising with an inflation from an infinitesimal point as the model universal field. As that field expands it is like a bubble membrane in 360 degrees. On the surface of that membrane the field energy allows entanglements because of original anisotropy or uneven distribution of the field and that leads to entangled clumps of energy accumulating as mass in the field. The field has clumps of mass drawing in other mass through characteristic force protocols such as the nuclear force and gravity. Stars, galaxies and Mitchellian objects (black holes) arise and draw together in clumps as the field membrane Bubble Universe expands.
The Membrane Universe could have four dimensions and more small ones yet still be finite in area in real space (nothingness). One bubble Universe after another could be issued to arise and expand within the others preceding that have expanded outward.
A transcending bubble universe from within or without slowing down to contract or increasing speed to expand could create intra-Universal collisions or mergers. Yet there could as easily be transcending forces that pass through all of the bubble Universes in every dimensions like neutrino-Universes.
It seems that because a Universe-field is a continuum that the speed of light is limited to the field that allows it to appear sustaining the existence of all phenomenal particles. Quantum entangled particles seem to convey information faster than light because they are not part of a direct continuum. Their instant motion is not measured by the relational position change of subluminal mass.
It is good to consider a little how God might issue consecutive Universes with expansion characteristics within a space-nothingness without mass-time necessarily. I find it useful to regard absolute spirit as the intelligent creator of substance.
