Why are things in Space moving away from each other?
Created | Updated Jan 13, 2012
I was wondering about space and the information I read concerning the expansion of the universe and the accelerating apart of objects in it.
When I dropped some ground cinnamon in a large bowl of water and observed that the finely ground cinnamon expanded apart very rapidly, I thought that perhaps space has a surface tension and the objects in it (stars & galaxies) are acting like the cinnamon and expanding outward trying to equalize surface tension.
The Young–Laplace equation relates the pressure difference to the shape of the surface, perhaps this can be applied to space surface curvature?
Just a thought.
