Re: The Fun Part Coming Soon!
What's next? addition and subtraction are products of the devil?
Wouldn't that be multiplication?

You are now a million miles away from where you were in space-time when you started reading this sentence.

Re: From Parallax to Covergence - an OT rant?

Product: multiplication. Ha ha!
Okay, that's my explanation. What did yours mean?

Re: Hubble
Happy American Thanksgiving day everyone. Even those of you who continue in the err of living somewhere else.
What I am doing is talking about how this would look on a space-time diagram, where the individual light-cones of neighbouring points would be roughly pointing in the same direction, where-as separated points would have their light-cones pointing in very different directions.
In the context of NoNukes' comments even this clarification puts a picture of a radial event into my head. Could you be a bit pedagogical and elaborate on the difference between light cones and space points? Thank you, cavediver; you're one of the things I'm thankful for.

Be still, the demands I make upon your conscience are slight. It is only your flattery I seek, not your sincerity.

Re: Hubble
So here is the "real" radial picture - but only apparent in space-time rather than space.
That's excellent. I can easily see how two points' future cones can be non-contacting while their past cones were contacting; horizons. I don't know why this model hasn't occurred to me before. I'm going to think on it and see if I can develop a dynamic, thought model.
As always, you rock.
