With regards to length of the day. As the earth expands it would rotate slower at the same angular momentum, so the days will get longer the more the earth expands.
As far as length of year that would not be changed by that. So the number of days in a year would actually be constantly decreasing as the Earth expands.
Assuming the expansion actually increases mass and no other factors are at play the inertia should be constantly dropping causing the speed of orbit to slow down, lengthening the year as it expands as you suggest. However I have a hunch that there are other forces that play a larger role than gravity in determining the orbits and their speed. I also like the Electric universe theory and I find the orbits would be much more compelling when explained by electrical and magnetic forces working with gravity.
Ra alludes to something of this nature when he likens gravity to the inward beating of a giant heart, but also mentions the outward beat, of which we have no scientific knowledge of.
Dtris, thank you ... I am too fascinated by the length of the day, which is time in space/time after all.. The funny thing is that about ten years ago I had a friend who was a physicist and we were talking about this and he was advancing that in fact days were getting shorter as time was 'accelerating'. My friend passed away a year later after we had this conversation.
I would be interested to know what are your thoughts..
I hope this is not taking the thread out of the OP. Or we could start a new thread or bump an old one about time in space/time.
