i once read that the expansion of the universe could be "likened" to mitosis. simply put, mitosis is the phenomena that occurs when one cell splits into two. without this biological process, life could not exist...

here is an interesting video interpretation of mitosis. awe-inspiring and visually stunning.

and another equally brilliant, and with a little more explanation

well, unfortuantely i don't have any other information to offer other than that - biology isn't my specialty and i'm still trying to find the answers.

the expanding spacetime
if there is no absolute scale of things we might ask why the scale is what it is, thereby implicitly assuming that the scale of material objects always has and always will remain the same. however, we now know that the universe appears to expand, which makes it natural to consider the possibility that the cosmological expansion might be and expansion of the scale of everything. if both space and time were to expand simultaneously everything would expand in proportion. locally such an expansion would be very difficult to detect. however, light reaching us from very distant sources would be affected by the cosmological scale expansion during the time for the light to reach us. it is easy to show that this light would become redshifted. in checking other observed features of the universe we find that it agrees with the expanding spacetime (est), i.e. the est universe looks and behaves exactly like our universe.

the above is an except from an article from this link. this matches with davids view of expanding universe very well. donald

an excerpt from the pdf-book linked at the bottom of the above-linked article:

"in fact, i propose that this is the way in which the universe expands—
by continually changing the scale of spacetime. this continually changing
scale of everything—including material objects—causes the expansion
that has been mistakenly interpreted as originating from a “big
bang.” this expansion of spacetime also causes what we experience as
the progression of time. since such an in-scale spacetime expansion
can continue forever, this model suggests the universe could paradoxically
expand eternally without changing."

i'm still reading the book but so far i like this much more than the "big bang" idea... which has never sit well with me. good find! i recommend this as reading for anyone interested in the detailed mathematical/physical/cosmological models of reality.

this "expansion" that you describe here is a scalar phenomenon. it is covered quite extensively in the reciprocal system of
theories, as published by dewey b larson in 1959, updated in 1979 and then ater his death in 1990, a revised version known
as rs 2 theory appeared, which allowed for 15 degrees of freedom (think of dimensions). ra in the law of one also stated
that dewey b larson's reciprocal system was correct, as far as it was carried; implying that mr larson didn't carry it as far
enough as he should have.

i would google the "collected works of dewey b larson" to get a fascinating read that will take you months to get through.

also, dewey b larson was known by don elkins, who along with carla and jim, brought us the law of one.

larson was a true free thinker. his work was revelatory.
i have always been interested in science and technology, and in particular had a strong innate familiarity with "materials" * and am a natural-born "maker of things".
but i always felt that there are too many loose ends and paradoxes, as larson put it, "too many epicycles", in the modern state of knowledge. what, mass is variable? space is curved? points of infinite mass?
after reading larson i have felt a strong charge of knowing something special, something right, something true, that is not widely known and needs to be broadcast so that others can feel like this.

* for examples:
as a child i realized why you can change the focus of your eye by squinting (the meniscus of the fluid film on your cornea forms a convex lens) i later mentioned this to an optometrist and he brushed me off with his overwhelming dimness.
i also realized why your ears shift perceived pitches when you yawn (the cochlea stretches)
