Does space has texture?

Question

I believe things move not only relative to each other but also absolutely in space. And things that are in gravitationally denser regions cover less distance relative to objects further a field, but take longer time. For example, light that emanates at the core of the Sun due to fusion reaction reaches the surface in about 2,500 years – travelling at a speed of one millimetre per second, at its slowest. How can this be possible if space if not squeezed by gravity of the Sun? And how space can be squeezed it has not texture or body to it?

Answer 1

I prefer the Bang theory to that of the Bump so, considering the force exerted when the bang originally ignited it is hard to contemplate how mass (however large or small) travelling in a vacuum can not have started by travelling at the same speed in direct proportion and relative to other bodies floating in the universe in the direction that force has sent it what ever distance apart. Gravity will of course come into the equation where bodies come into collision and pushed into one or two different directions.I understand that no one has actually come up with an answer regarding space constituency or whether space passes through all objects (what about a quark--I hope that's the correct spelling)
If space has texture then it has mass and it is known that the objects in space are the only known supply of mass but does mass displace space if it does space will have been proved to have texture.If space does not have texture then there is no reason not to believe that the sun is moving away from the bang and space is simply passing through it as it does to all other objects

Answer 2

Hi. The radiation that starts inside the Sum travels at the speed of light until it hits an electron. It then re-radiates, shoots off at the speed of light again and hits another electron. This continues until the photon finally reaches the surface, then it shoots into space.

The Sun, even though it has much more gravity than Earth, still does not curve space enough to have any significant slowing of photons. Interesting way of looking at things though.

Answer 3

According to Einsteinian physics, the presence of mass distorts the shape of the space/time continuum around it; but the reason why light takes so long to make its way to the photosphere is because of all of the nuclei in its path.

The light travels so slowly out because it's being absorbed and ejected by nuclei here and there, gradually losing energy with each transition, so that by the time it reaches the photosphere, it has gone from high energy gamma bursts to X rays and ultraviolet, and finally emerges as the mixture of visible and invisible photons which make up the familiar spectrum.

The absorption of light photons is demonstrated by the presence of the black Fraunhofer lines in the spectrum.

Answer 4

If what you are saying is true about light than that must mean that space has no texture in relation to the earth's atmosphere. It travels faster in the earth's atmosphere because our atmosphere does in fact have texture due the concentration of gases. that means that heat and light transfer should be more pronounced than that of the out space region. So if it does in fact travel at one millimeter per second than the transfer of heat and light is less than of the earth's atmosphere making it obvious to us that there should be no texture, or much less texture, than that of the earth's atmosphere.
