Young Earth Creationists have two options to explain how we can see distant objects in the universe. Either the universe is small or the speed of light was faster in the past. In this video we explore the first option. Simulations show that making the universe small causes many systems to become unstable. Here I simulate our solar system and the large magellanic cloud. In less than 1 year our solar system falls into the LMC and gets ripped apart. This outcome is not unique to the LMC. Any large object in the universe placed 2 million times closer will cause the exact same result.
A few notes about the simulator. The smaller you make the time step the more accurate the results. Basically, it iterates Newton's theory of gravity over discrete time intervals. Of course, making it too small will require your computer to run for many many hours. The simulations I showed in the video used t_step = 1 (meaning it recalculates the position of every object every second in simulation time). The output of the gravity.m function can then be fed into the plotplanets.m function to create an avi video file. You will need to place the planetsposition.mat file in your MatLab/work folder.

NOTE: It is valid to simulate the LMC as a point mass because if one were to reduce its size by a factor of 2 million, the stars would not be in stable orbits and would rapidly collide and collapse forming a black hole.
Think about it.

@kaderoder What transperant Medium is the Velocity of Light or Speed of Light decreasing????I will google.com it,return you with a better descision!!

@Jules7892 No my friend, please google it. The speed of light is decreasing.

@kaderoder It depends what Transperant Medium to send Light throw. The Scientific Method gives you the Speed/Velocity of Light through a VACUUM and Air. Through Different Glasses and Transperant Gems, the Velocities will differ slightly!!!!

It's not the size of your universe. It's how you study it.

The speed of light is decreasing. Its now down to 298000 km ps. It was first measured just over 300000. No source.
