We see Space through the lens of our Clock: Observer dependent space observations
In phenomenology, we study what something is for an observer. In this work, I asked the question: what is “time” for an observer? I was confronted with Einstein’s insight that time observations and space observations are interconnected. I was not studying time and space in themselves (as in physics), but rather what time and space are for observers (phenomenology). This phenomenological perspective generated its own answers, which differ from the current scientific consensus. The distortions of space we observe are relativistic — they depend on observers. Observers are the zero-points of reference frames, a “zero” in mathematics. Yet they appear to be the backbone of reference frames in relativity, and the cause of the collapse of the wave function in quantum mechanics. What are observers? They exist; they are real in nature, and they have a lawful connection with nature, as I discovered. The redshift of the emitted light from receding galaxies, discovered by Edwin Hubble, is not evidence of an expanding universe, but rather evidence of the relativity of space within gravitational fields, observed by an real existing observer with his particular clock and his particular ruler. It can be a measuring device, an animal, a human being. Real existing observers with a real lawful connection with the observations of space and time. Not only theoretised reference frames in a model, but real existing entities with a lawful connection with their observations.
