I hypothesise that time is speeding up.

After listening to ALL of astronomy cast, the model of the universe that ended up in my head is a little different.

There was an interesting question episode where the twin paradox was discussed. Pamela's first answer to this cemented a different concept in my mind. A listener asked if both twins are doing near the speed of light relative to each other and space has no fixed point of reference, why does one age differently relative to the other.

Her answer permanently changed my concept of time, space and the formation of the universe. She said, the one that expended the energy is the one that ages slower.

It appears to me that time does not slow as you approach C, time slows as you possess more energy, ie kinetic energy. As your energy density increases "time" slows.

Which brings me time itself, how is it measured. SI units say it is measured in the number of vibrations of an atom.

My hypothesis is that as you possess more energy, you have a higher density of energy. This energy restricts vibration, like an increase of viscosity at the particle level.

So after the big bang, energy density was extremely high, time would have gone very slowly compared to our current low density space.

What we are seeing 15 billion light years out, is a region with a higher energy density. I propose that time is slower there.

In turn, the universe is not accelerating. We are seeing a constant expansion rate and a constant change in energy density. These two combined give the appearance of acceleration.

This hypotheses removes the need for dark energy.

Any thoughts on this?
