[asa] Every time the universe doubles, the perception of time is cut in half.

Not much time here, but just wanted to post this excerpt from an item
I found. ~ `Janice

"... Every time the universe doubles, the perception of time is cut
in half. Now when the universe was small, it was doubling very
rapidly. But as the universe gets bigger, the doubling time gets
exponentially longer. This rate of expansion is quoted in "The
Principles of Physical Cosmology," a textbook that is used literally
around the world.

(In case you want to know, this exponential rate of expansion has a
specific number averaged at 10 to the 12th power. That is in fact the
temperature of quark confinement, when matter freezes out of the
energy: 10.9 times 10 to the 12th power Kelvin degrees divided by (or
the ratio to) the temperature of the universe today, 2.73 degrees.
That's the initial ratio which changes exponentially as the universe expands.)

The calculations come out to be as follows:
The first of the Biblical days lasted 24 hours, viewed from the
"beginning of time perspective." But the duration from our
perspective was 8 billion years.
The second day, from the Bible's perspective lasted 24 hours. From
our perspective it lasted half of the previous day, 4 billion years.
The third day also lasted half of the previous day, 2 billion years.
The fourth day - one billion years.
The fifth day - one-half billion years.
The sixth day - one-quarter billion years.

When you add up the Six Days, you get the age of the universe at 15
and 3/4 billion years. The same as modern cosmology. Is it by chance?

But there's more. The Bible goes out on a limb and tells you what
happened on each of those days. Now you can take cosmology,
paleontology, archaeology, and look at the history of the world, and
see whether or not they match up day-by-day. And I'll give you a hint. ..... "
