Smile Frames make the difference

A note here is that there is a lot of curiosity regarding the speed of light.

The point is which ever frame you are in you will measure light as having the same speed. But what about the speed of space?

This is from the Hubble site glossary section

Quote:
Hubble Constant (Ho)

A number that expresses the rate at which the universe expands with time. Ho appears to be between 60 and 75 kilometers per second per megaparsec.
OK so it is cheating by taking space out of the reference frame of space. But space is big ... really big and by using those numbers it is clear that beyond the Hubble Limit (outside the frame) space is travelling faster than light.
