If rapid motion is added in the form of redshift to the Earth as a result of expansion of space which in turn complements the notion of an expanding universe, the information may be used to calculate both distances and time periods. In this same manner, by applying the known formula for light propagation in moving systems to the motion of the Earth (as a component of the Milky Way Galaxy), the radius of the universe and the time period required for the development of the cosmos can be estimated. When the above is combined with Einstein’s principle of equivalence and it is applied to situations when an accelerated system and gravitational field exist together at the same time, a ‘short evolving distance’ pointing towards the origin of the universe can be calculated. Furthermore, knowledge of the entire plane angle and the deviating angle of a light beam grazing the surface of the Earth renders it possible to determine enormous distances by utilizing the rules of trigonometry. This ‘long evolving distance’ in the range of the radius of the universe can be converted into ‘evolving time’ by dividing it by the speed of light. Based upon this alternative dating method, at a figure of 3.1415 redshift, the universe may have been formed 13.7355 billion years ago. In the case of the inverse ratio of the angles, the size of the Sun and the planets equates to what is known.
