mburns's Journal: Enlightenment from Criticism of Friedmann Coordinates

I understand now how Friedmann coordinates obscure thinking on cosmology. So an addition to my old meditation on superluminal philosophers is needed. Even though they are contemporary to us by definition, they actually are on the far side of the big bang. Before we imagine them at a suitable distance, we must think of evidence of the big bang being mathematically deducible at a closer distance. Reasoning that excludes communication with such philosophers is complemented by the argument that they are on the far side of the big bang.

The Friedmann, also known as comoving, coordinates are artificially curved, non inertial and non homogeneous. This is confusing to the unwary, and academics do get caught in the trap. Pontifications on the acceleration of the universe and on the cosmological constant are invalidated by this error.

And my worries about matter tunneling into the universe from outside are solved by this enlightenment. That eventuality is actually assignable to the big bang itself.
