See the Pattern | Quasar Time-Dilation Paradox @SeethePattern | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Time dilation is a fundamental property of an expanding universe. In an expanding universe, it is directly linked to cosmological redshift. This means that events observed at cosmological distances, so with a significant redshift, appear to take longer than they would if they were nearby. As space expands the light takes increasing amounts of time to reach us over the course of the event. The lengthening ratio is the same ratio as the redshifted wavelengths from the same distance.
Some of the most distant objects are Quasars but curiously they do not seem to show any time-dilation. In this episode, I want to explore how the data from one paper is interpreted in two different ways where the authors of both papers come to very different conclusions both of which contain important considerations. Let's dive in and find out more.
