Re: Old Stars/Olber's Paradox





Faster than c?!!! Now I really need help. Of course the stuff doesn't move
at >c, but how is it that space expands >c? Is this what you are saying?
What is the evidence for this?


Because space is not a thing moving with a velocity. It is a change
in geometry and has no speed limit restrictions. Were that not so,
inflationary models would not work. The *local* motion of any galaxy
is, of course, always <c but its *apparent* velocity due to expansion
of the universe could take on any value.
