A Cosmic "Tardis"..

[maroonlegions]

Love these academics who beever away and suddenly a wee "light bulb" of perception springs up and presents its self to their recent investigations, this one involves some space boffins pontificating on the universe and its perceptive delusions that occasionally pop up from time to time... This has been tentatively called the "cosmic tardis" and is speculations on the possible answers or origins of why the universe is accelerating ..... seems that with every pontification by such sources as these scientific academicals it tends to throw up more questions than answers and to me therein lies the sheer beauty of what we term the "mysterious universe" and our place in it... Below is some info on this rather speculative and at best rudimentary pontification on our universe and its apparent acceleration... the usual snippets and source links are provided for those interested... geeks or not...lol.

 

 

A Cosmic 'Tardis': What the Universe Has In Common with 'Doctor Who'

 

 

quote;

"Look out, dark energy: A TARDIS may be the real reason the universe is accelerating.

Regions in space-time that are bigger on the inside than the outside ? just like the sci-fi character Doctor Who's TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space) time machine? could help explain the universe's quickening expansion.

These theoretical bubbles are named "Tardis regions." They're not a perfect explanation of how the expansion occurs, but they are a first step in making a model that is closer to reality, its proponents said. [Gallery: Dark Matter Throughout the Universe]

 

"The idea was to get this proof of principle, that this is possible that you can do it," Syksy Rasanen, a lecturer in theoretical physics at the University of Helsinki, told SPACE.com. "We're not claiming the inside of the hole is realistic, but it's the first model where we have an exact solution where structures that are distributed randomly in space have a significant effect on the expansion rate."
