There was a thread a while ago on here where the hypothesis for why things are moving apart at faster rates is down to time moving at different speeds due to mass.
So time in the void between galaxies is moving quicker than time in the galaxies, but on the grand scale of the universe the differences as up a lot.
I quite liked this theory, think is make sense, at least from my very limited understanding of this stuff.
Aka Timescape Cosmology, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhomogeneous_cosmology
Would make sense if our universe is a simulation. It takes more compute power to simulate areas of high density so time naturally flows slower there.
Yeah, but also that's how time actually works too, time runs slower for us on earth than say GPS satellites so adjustments need calculated to sync the two. Again caveat is I'm more than likely either just wrong or misunderstanding it or massively oversimplifying it.
