The Limits of the observable Universe


In order to better understand this paper, you should first read an article entitled "Subspace, Space, Hyperspace", that I published on the 4th of December 2007 at the following address http://www.spacesignals.blogspot.com/ .The article presents my view on the organization of the Universe in hierarchical structures ; inhere, a senior rank space includes an inferior rank space and its proper time flows slower as compared to the proper time of the inferior rank space. Considering that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic (on a major scale), I consider that there is such a space structure around each element of the space (just like the onion leaves), the centre being that very element of the space. But since I couldn’t find yet an appropriate mathematical formula, I will continue to demonstrate in front of you how my model is in accordance with the astronomic observations.
The redshift of the electromagnetic radiations emitted by very distant stars does not necessarily have to be explained by a Doppler effect due to the "expansion" of the Universe; it could more likely be explained through the fact that we compare the spectrum of an event developing in a senior rank space (the hyperspace) to the spectrum of an event developing in an inferior rank space and the proper clocks of these spaces, and implicitly of these events, strike differently (in the senior rank space it strikes slower than in the inferior one). Consequently, we are no longer forced to use the Big Bang model to explain the "expansion of the Universe" starting from an initial moment, but we can revive the concept of an "infinite Universe in time and space".
This way, the Hubble constant will have a different interpretation, being connected to the velocity of the time flow in different hierarchies of space structures.
Olbers’ paradox refers to the fact that if the Universe is infinite, an observer should see at least one star, in any solid angle he would look at the star and however small this angle would be. The sky should not be dark but bright and white.
According to my hypothesis, the more we are trying to see the limits of the Universe the more we are passing towards higher rank structures of the space, and the proper time of the notable events will flow slower and slower. The electromagnetic radiation received will "slide" towards red, the red towards infrared and so on and so forth. Surpassing a certain limit, "the time dilution" will be so great that the information will never reach our observation point and the sky will only get darker.
We can say that for us, as observers in an "r" rank space, the "r+n" rank space is the limit of the observable Universe, a space from where the information is coming so slowly that we can no longer process it.
I will come back, descending towards subspace, I mean towards the depth of matter.
