General Theory of relativity , shrinking/expansion of universe, impact of chaos and deconerence
(Jupiter benevolent Brihaspati may guide us) (Picture credit Sky view) General theory of relativity if space - time can have curvature, suppose shrinking or expansion of space time fabric also possible. Then what? Fascinating thought! The General Theory of Relativity, introduced by Einstein, indeed tells us that the fabric of space-time can curve due to the presence of mass and energy. If we extend this idea to consider the shrinking or expansion of the space-time fabric, several intriguing possibilities emerge. ### Expansion and Shrinking of Space-Time 1. **Cosmic Inflation and Expansion:** - **Inflation:** Just after the Big Bang, the universe underwent a rapid expansion known as cosmic inflation. This caused the space-time fabric to stretch at an exponential rate. - **Expansion:** The universe is still expanding today, a discovery attributed to Edwin Hubble. This expansion affects the distance between galaxies, leading to phenomena like the redshift of light from distant stars....
