Hubble Law: Cosmology, Robertson-Walker Metric: Cosmology
Scientific paper
The Robertson-Walker (RW) metric implies a Hubble law with recession speed ν also exceeding the light speed c as a consequence of meter sticks variable with distance if they are locally fixed, according to the comoving coordinates, to the local receding galaxy. A new metric with constant meter sticks, hence with ν ≤ c, is given using both special relativity (when Ω = ρ/ρc = 0, where ρ and ρc are the average and critical densities of the universe, respectively) and general relativity (when Ω ≠ 0). The meter sticks attached to the receding galaxies appear as Lorentz contracted (as must be) in the new metric if observed from the origin. By the new metric the redshift z is only due to the Doppler effect when Ω = 0 and to GR effects when Ω ≠ 0.
