Commenters propose alternative cosmological frameworks

Multiple commenters offered competing explanations for universal expansion, including black hole cosmology, Milne cosmology, and speculative ideas about the universe as a three-dimensional event horizon.
“I also understand that there is a cosmological (event) horizon, where galaxies freeze, then rapidly redshift in the same way.”

I understand that, for a stationary black hole without spin (which does not exist), an object that falls into it will freeze, then the image will redshift until it disappears.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizonI also understand that there is a cosmological (event) horizon, where galaxies freeze, then rapidly redshift in the same way. This…

My favorite idea is that the universe expands because mass-energy in our 4d parent universe is falling into our universe, which is a black hole. We exist as information upon the 4d hole’s 3d event horizon, and experience its inflation as our time dimension (as well as space inflation).Inflation is accelerating because as the black hole grows it…

Whew, really fantastic article!> “In physics, description is explanation” (author quoting his PhD advisor)Yes, i have always hated this about physics. It is the only scientific field that apparently feels no responsibility to explain “why”, deciding that “what” is sufficient.I wish the author all success so that i can someday read a satisfying…

I kind of like the idea that as the edge of the universe is observed, it expands to fit that observation. "Observed" being in the same sense as the uncertainty principle. But there's also the idea of the universe or space as a kind of mesh that's stretching, not really growing.When I think about things at this scale, it really makes me feel…

Attempts to tackle why in science are actually, underneath, just a how-it-really-happens, or what-happens answers.No scientist can explain the why, and most can't even explain the how (Heisenberg uncertainty, for one accessible example).
