Abstract

In searching for a potentially nonunique mapping between regions of high and low redshift, something simpler was found instead: A proportional size increase in a high-redshift region. Unlike special-relativistic effects, where slowed-down (departing) objects shrink in size, a size increase occurs in a gravitational potential. As the horizon of a black hole is approached, the rest of the universe when watched from there shrinks in size to zero. More general implications have yet to be derived.
